College Hockey 2014-2015

[ifmanis5]

Just watched the replay of the Michigan Tech game. What a brutal loss for them.
Defenseman with the puck about to shoot from the point, falls down as he loads up to fire, creates a quick 2-on-1 for St. Cloud and they finish it. Your whole season came down to one kid falling down at the worst possible moment. Brutal awful loss in OT.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

reminder: BC Denver (East semis in Prov) starts now.  Buc and Melrose on the call, FWIW.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Ugggh, Laleggia, one of the most entertaining players in the game, a shame east coast doesn't see him more often,  with a beautiful twisted sister in the top right corner past Demko on the PP, as Doremus picks up an unsportsmanlike minor just after the shot/goal.
 
Pioneers kill off the penalty.  1-0 DU

 

[mabrowndog]

Denver outshooting the Eagles 11-1 in the first 13:30.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Matheson with a blue line  SNIPE for the Eagles. 1-1

 

[mabrowndog]

Tie game. Mike Matheson off the face-off from the left point. Possibly deflected.

 

[mabrowndog]

Whoa, let's see if this one counts by Denver's Trevor Moore. Net clearly off the mooring, but knocked off by BC.
 
EDIT - It counts. Brutal goal to give up with 6.9 secs left. 2-1 Pioneers.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Moore collects a great pass and puts it in from the edge, just as the net moorings come off. Should be good goal.

 

[mabrowndog]

Dear Dunkin Donuts Center:
 
How about buying some new fucking light bulbs? Every part of the ice along the dashers -- especially in the corners -- is in shadows.

 

[mabrowndog]

Scott McLaughlin ‏@smclaughlin9 13m13 minutes ago
No Nikolas Olsson for BU today. Upper body injury.
 
Lineups for the Manchester final:
 

 

[ifmanis5]

No idea how he scored form that angle. Gonna be a close finish.

 

[mabrowndog]

RIT gets a power play right out of the gates -- 20 seconds in -- vs MIN St. Nothing doing, though.

 

[mabrowndog]

RIT grabs the 1-0 lead over the Mavericks.  Alexander Kuqali comes out from behind the net and buries it 4:30 in.

 

[mabrowndog]

BC applying much more pressure this period, but Jaillet has stymied them. Meanwhile at the other end Demko made a huge stop. 3:37 left in the 2nd.

 

[mabrowndog]

Chris Dilks ‏@ChrisDilks 33s34 seconds ago
Shots are now even at 7-7 after RIT had six of the game's first seven shots. 6:49 left in the first, RIT up 1-0.

 

[mabrowndog]

Still 2-1 Denver after two. Shots were 7-7 that period (21-13 Pioneers for the game).
 
In non-tourney news, UNH defenseman Brett Pesce is forgoing his senior season to sign with Carolina.

 

[mabrowndog]

Delayed penalty coming up on RIT for holding on Cameron. MSU going on the PP with 1:12 left in the 1st.
 
EDIT - Tigers hold the line and head to the locker room with the 1-0 lead. Shots now 12-8 Mavs, who will have 48 secs with the man-up to start the 2nd.

 

[ifmanis5]

Crap 3-1 Denver now. That should do it.

 

[mabrowndog]

Costly turnover by BC and a great play to intercept the pass by Moore. It leads to a Denver goal by Will Butcher, firing in a slapper off a drop pass from the left. 3-1 Pioneers with 11:47 left in the 3rd.

 

[mabrowndog]

Crap 3-1 Denver now. That should do it.

 
I was about to talk you down from the ledge with the "plenty of time" shtick, but...
 
Grant Arnold makes it 4-1. So yeah, go ahead and jump.

No jumping, Denver is the better team today. And 3 titles in 5 years is still a thing.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Sad season when it ends to a Jr. captain on the 4th line with his 1st goal of the season.

 

[mabrowndog]

Power play goal BC makes it 4-2 Denver with 5:00 left.

 

[doldmoose34]

We're not dead yet, on life support but not dead

 

[mabrowndog]

Arnold gets his 2nd. Empty net. Insert fork.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Welp.
 
Good for him. Arnold and BC go hand in hand . . .

 

[mabrowndog]

Chris Dilks ‏@ChrisDilks 6m6 minutes ago
Teddy Blueger with a one-timer on the power play. Minnesota State and RIT tied 1-1 9:08 left in the second.
 
Down to 6:00 left in the 2nd now.

 

[doldmoose34]

Dead

The most unJerry like team in years, no dominate scoring line....whatever another good class coming in, we'll be back

 

[mabrowndog]

Still 1-1 as RIT & Minn St head to the locker room.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

1 iron

 

[mabrowndog]

Rodrigues lights the lamp with 12:30 left in the 1st. 1-0 Terriers.

 

[mabrowndog]

Conor Ryan ‏@ConorRyan_93 9m9 minutes ago
Eichel, O’Regan, Ahti & E-Rod all with 20+ goals on the year. Last BU team to do that? 1995-96 (J. Pandolfo, C. Drury, S. Bates & M. Grier)
 
Conor Ryan ‏@ConorRyan_93 7m7 minutes ago
Eichel and E-Rod are the first BU teammates to score 60+ points in the same season since J. Pandolfo & C. Drury reached the feat in 1995-96.

 

[mabrowndog]

Jeff Cox ‏@JeffCoxSports 2m2 minutes ago
John MacLeod limps to the bench. He'd be a big loss for BU on that top D pairing with Grzelcyk.
 
Scott McLaughlin ‏@smclaughlin9 1m1 minute ago
MacLeod's back on the ice for BU.

 

[mabrowndog]

RIT Tiger Hockey ‏@RITMHKY 1m1 minute ago
Huge save by @Rublinwall on a point-blank attempt in front keeps the game tied 1-1 with 16:20 left in regulation.

 

[mabrowndog]

Only 5 of the 10 Hobey Baker finalists are still playing in the tournament: Vesey (Harvard), McIntyre (N. Dakota), Garnofsky (RIT), LaLeggia (Denver) & Eichel (BU)

 

[mabrowndog]

The last 4 PC-Miami games have gone to OT, with a win apiece & two draws.
 
Chad Twaro ‏@ChadTwaro 2m2 minutes ago
Tonight will be @MiamiOH_Hockey's 6th meeting with @FriarsHockey since 2011-12, Miami is 2-1-2 in that span.

 

[mabrowndog]

Another spectacular save by Ruby for RIT. He's keeping them in this thing as the Tigers have been out-shot 24-10, including 6-2 this period (12:38 left).

 

[mabrowndog]

Another PP coming for the Mavs...
 
RIT Tiger Hockey ‏@RITMHKY 10s11 seconds ago
Tigers go to the box for the fifth time today, as a hooking call is made with 12:08 left in regulation. Game is tied 1-1.

 

[mabrowndog]

RIT takes  a 2-1 lead on a goal by Mitchell from the far right wing with 5:51 left in the 2nd, but the refs wave it off. An MSU player skated into his own goalie, and the officials seem to think Matt Garbowsky was the culprit.
 
EDIT - Review underway. Replays suggest it's a horseshit call. Huge implications here.

 

[mabrowndog]

UMD ties it 37 seconds into the 2nd period.
 
Jeff Cox ‏@JeffCoxSports 55s56 seconds ago
Scrum to O'Connor's right, he was out of position. Slap shot finds back of net.

 

[mabrowndog]

And the refs reverse the call in South Bend. Justice for the Tigers, who take a 2-1 lead.

 

[mabrowndog]

PC Men's Hockey ‏@FriarsHockey 3m3 minutes ago
The goaltending match-up tonight is between Jon Gillies (20-13-2, 1.95 GAA, .931 SV%) and Miami’s Jay Williams (19-8-0, 1.89 GAA, .922 SV%).

 

[mabrowndog]

Miami-PC is on ESPN News to start. They'll switch to ESPNU once RIT-MSU is over.
 
And right away Gillies under extreme duress but he stuffs the RedHawks.

 

[mabrowndog]

BU takes a 2-1 lead, and now THAT goal is under review as well. Lane got hammered from behind by a Bulldogs defender and into the goalie.
 
EDIT - The goal stands. Terriers in front.
 
Scott McLaughlin ‏@smclaughlin9 3m3 minutes ago
2-1 BU, 16:28 left in 2nd. Great forecheck by Phelps and Piccinich, then Piccinich feeds Lane in front and he finishes in front.

 

[mabrowndog]

Here's a replay of the "controversial" RIT goal:

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Miami on the board.  1-0 5 minutes in.

 

[mabrowndog]

Huge. HUGE!!
 
RIT Tiger Hockey ‏@RITMHKY 19s19 seconds ago
YEAH! We've done it! Tigers knock off @MavHockey 2-1. First time ever beating top seed. #RIT will play in Regional Final Sun, at 7:30.

 

[mabrowndog]

Refs now reviewing a brutal collision between BU's Doyle Somerby and a UMD player on a Duluth possession & pass at mid-ice. But no call.
 
Just before that...
 
Boston Hockey Blog ‏@BOShockeyblog 5m5 minutes ago
Duluth Goal: Kyle Osterberg scores to knot the game at 2-2 at 7:31 in the 2nd period.

 

[Arroyo Con Frijoles]

HC-Minny all over again

 

[mabrowndog]

Trevor Mingoia ties it up for PC with 9:45 left in the 1st. Horrible turnover at the blue line by Miami.
