Re: The Frozen Four
I saw one team skate circles around the other team for 60:00. I thought they were flying around the ice. Must have been watching a different game. We'll find out Saturday night.

PC will try to clog up the middle of the ice and play the dump and chase game. PC in this tourney is playing their best hockey while BU has won three one goal games now. (Empty netter doesn't count). I didn't think BU played well last night at all and can be much better than that.
I know this is blasphemy but I thought Eichel had a poor game on offense. Flipped in an open net back hand, Greer scores on a bomb that Eichel passed the puck to him routinely, and the empty net goal. But whatever, buccigross thought he was the greatest hockey player in the history of the game

I'd rather hear Thorne's screaming, as opposed to the excited whispers of Barry Melrose.

I didn't see that, one team maybe but PC was a team on a mission. BU is the favorite for saturdays game but if it's low scoring I can see pc winning

there's a good buck in that racket.
Omaha looked slow not pc. Can't even compare the two.
Re: The Frozen Four
To add one more persons observations. Not that it's needed, so.
Game one, to me can be summarized- Massa got UNO here. That game was almost a clinic watching the Friars play that game, but up until that first goal, it seemed as if uno got a goal, the game could tip mentally so badly, that Massa would have gotten a 60 shot shutout.
But once Providence got the one, the better team got what the TEAM showed. Uno looked tired, which they should not have.
I really like how Providence is playing, as to me, it's interesting. Especially the effort, winning the speed and puck battles all night. Their style would give my Michigan team fits all night.
Game two was fun in a very different way, as both teams played a game that I'm used to watching. Just not at that overall skill level for a few years.
.
BUs first goal wasn't devastating, and und stayed right with them after that. Even the late second one wasn't that bad, as I thought much of the best und play was the second period right up to BUs third goal.
Hockey being such a mental game, I have to give und a lot of credit for staying right there until the empty net goal. All of that compelling play helped keep a lot of tired people awake.
Not sure what to expect tomorrow, between BUs flowing skill game to the Friars very structured game, at this level, it hopefully be interesting. As long as one team does not come out flat, which hasn't happend in the last game for a few years.
Now to tour Boston.

Re: The Frozen Four
Nah. You only beat UMD because of a questionable penalty that the refs decided to call late
I did pick BU to win it in all my bracket contest and looks like I'm going to get some money whatever the outcome is tomorrow.
You're not going to find many fans who think the west is way better hockey than the east. It's more about which particular conference is better.
Now the NCHC is 0-3 in the Frozen Four.

Re: The Frozen Four
Gotta be honest, these super duper zomg the best in the country UND goalies seem to really unravel in the FFs against Boston teams. UND controlled the majority of the game and McIntyre just imploded. A mound of dirt between the pipes would have served the Sioux better than McIntyre. Lamoureux (4 vs. BC in 2007, 6 vs BC in 2008), Parise (6 GA vs. BC in 2006), now add McIntyre to the list.

Re: The Frozen Four
Blah...blah...blah... After a while we just tune it all out. I don't know what you want the guy to do. I don't understand this "crusade" to denigrate him. You'll probably be overjoyed if he doesn't win the Hobey. Whatever...he will be hoisting the only trophy that matters Saturday night. But you'll probably find a way to diminish that, too. And who cares what BucciGROSS thinks? He's a typical self-important arrogant know it all. If that's what you are reacting to, why are you wasting your time?

Re: The Frozen Four
That's one way to look at it. What I saw was "one team" that should have stayed home. Either way, they're not going to be "skating circles" around BU.

Re: The Frozen Four
Fine, but they were BOTH slower than either of the teams in the second game.

thank you captain obvious, and now to the weather
The weather sucks, can't you do something about that
Re: The Frozen Four
As I previously mentioned, Tuuka has nothing to worry about...of course, if Zane wins the Hobey we will all agree that he is MUCH more deserving than Eichel, because, as we have been told:
1) Eichel stinks, doesn't play any defense and scored an "easy" goal and an empty-netter last night (plus an assist on a 'routine' play)
2) McIntyre is the best goalie in the GREAT NCHC (who is now 0-3 in the Frozen Four) so he HAS to win
3) The fans from the West said so and they know EVERYTHING about college hockey...the morons in the East know nothing

Re: The Frozen Four
After going to FFs since the late 90's finally saw the first fan tossed from the arena, would have bet it would have occurred in Boston. Some guy sitting by himself wearing a PC jersey with Pisani on the back. Harrassed some North Dakota fans sitting near us, shouting "bison" and making references to North Dakota State which were unintelligible to anyone expect the ND fans who were getting angry. Finally an ND fan in a box behind us started screaming at the guy to come back and he'd take care of him, but the guy wouldn't look at him, and security came over and took the guy out. Bizarre. I like the ND fans who always show up in droves no matter what the FF venue.

If they aren't on the ice at the same time, how can you possibly compare?

Re: The Frozen Four
So, did the visiting teams come out first, or was it ESPN editing? I believe that on ESPN, they showed PC and BU coming out before UNO and UND respectively.
