well the Northeastern women lost to Cornell in the NCAA Tourney last week and now the men have a chance to get some revenge. The NU men head to Providence to face Cornell this coming Saturday Huskies won their third Hockey East championship over the weekend by beating BU 2-1 in OT on Friday night and then downing BC 3-2 on Saturday. Huskies head to the NCAA Tourney at 27-10-1, most wins in program history the OT win over BU was the 6th overtime W by NU this year....most in the NCAA. Jim Madigan having this program in the NCAA Tourney for the third time in four years is pretty impressive https://www.ncaa.com/news/icehockey...ket-printable-2019-ncaa-hockey-tournament-pdf
Without diving into the Eastern teams too much yet, my initial picks would be SCSU, Notre Dame, Northeastern, and UMD advancing to the Frozen Four with SCSU making it a 4th straight title for the NCHC and the 4th different team from the NCHC to win it. I think they play Northeastern for the title. Jumping on the SCSU and Minnesota St. bandwagons for the tourney.

If only the Gophers had the resources and recruiting base to compete with in-state powers UMD, SCSU and MSU-Mankato.
Oof. And 3rd time as a 1 seed in last 4 years. Should have known better than to pick St Cloud. Never underestimate the fact that St. Cloud is gonna St. Cloud...they are allergic to April Hockey. Was at the games in Fargo yesterday. When AIC scores first you could actually hear the pucker of SCSU fans Sphincters...going to be a heavy pro AIC crowd tonight. Hope they can pull it out.
BGSU played really tough defense. It was a minor miracle to complete two crisp passes in succession against them.
Denver just took the lead 1-0 here late in the 2nd in Fargo...AIC is actually playing with them and both teams have had chances.
UMD's last 7 games in NCAA tournament 2-1 2-1 2-1 2-1 2-1 3-1...empty net goal 4-1...2 empty net goals
Just an unreal run the program has been on. Next season will most likely be an actual rebuilding year. It will be really difficult to replace Samberg, Anderson, Perunovich, and probably Shepard & still do well enough in the NCHC to make the tournament. Good problems to have I suppose.
Very rarely. I can’t recall being in the site in the last year. I am subscribed to the podcast so I listen to that from time to time.
I recently started browsing through it mainly for the recruiting info after not visiting in probably at least a decade. Man has the board's general mentality shifted, at least from what I remember.
Are we ready yet? Gophers return to CC tonight. I have no idea what to expect. We're apparently the youngest (by age) and heaviest (not anything I ever thought I would see) team in the country.
UND put a couple beat downs on Canisius 5-0 and 8-1. Not really noteworthy other than it was the 2 losses to them last year that kept UND out of the Tournament.
Gophers choked away a 3rd period lead on Friday but got a split against CC on Saturday. Hopefully they’re better this year. I didn’t see either game so I don’t know.
Northeastern hosting Holy Cross today. Huskies are 3-0 with two wins in Schenectady and a 3-1 home W over UMass earlier this week. A trip to St Cloud next week followed by another couple games vs the Minutemen. Pretty exciting start to the season. Last year they overcame the losses of Gaudette and Sikura and still had a great year. This season they've got a grad transfer from Merrimack starting in goal to replace Primeau and so far so good. Jim Madigan baby remember BC's brutal start last year? Well a couple wins vs Wisconsin and Colgate looked promising last weekend. They got shutout 3-0 in Denver last night though so who knows what they're gonna do this year. I'm guessing Denver beats them again today
BC lost at home to PC last Friday. They go to UNH and PC this weekend with a 2-3 record Northeastern split a couple games at St Cloud State and have two with UMass this weekend. Should be absolutely electric at Matthews Arena tonight given it's a top 10 matchup
Flo has such shitty streams that I may buy btnplus even though I get it free with flo, done with ggcd's website.
