College Hockey 2014-2015

[mabrowndog]

Holy crap. Make it 3-0 Duluth as Raskob lights the lamp 1:12 away from the break. They catch the Gophers on a line change and bring it up the other side of the ice. Deflected in off Mike Reilly's skate.
 
And that's where it stands after 20 minutes. Bulldogs with a 12-9 margin in SOG.

Adrian battling back...
 
Hockey in the 'Cac ‏@hockeyinthecac 45s46 seconds ago
Matt Thompson with nice individual effort to cut Trinity lead to 5-3 with 18:25 left in the 3rd.

Amherst will be airing the live stream at Stirn Auditorium on campus.
 
The view at Ridder Arena during their afternoon free skate earlier today:

HUSKIES GOAL! C.J. Eick from Joel L'Esperance! Huskies lead 2-1 in Fargo at 10:54 of the 3rd!
 
Michigan Tech Hockey ‏@mtuhky 2m2 minutes ago
Credit a second assist to Dylan Steman on the CJ Eick goal at 10:54 of the 3rd.

Hockey in the 'Cac ‏@hockeyinthecac 2m2 minutes ago
Adrian kills a penalty successfully for the first time. Bantams now 2/3 on PP. 8:08 left with Trinity up 5-3. SOG in favor of Bantams 30-26.

 

[mabrowndog]

Adrian just scored a PP goal to make it 5-4 with 4:46 left, but it's waved off after a video review.

Michigan Tech Hockey ‏@mtuhky 1m1 minute ago
Empty net for SCSU. Less than 2 mins to play in Fargo.

Empty net for Adrian with 2:20 remaining





 
d3hockey.com @d3hky  ·  1m 1 minute ago

Trinity is blocking shots with reckless abandon out there. Has all game. EN bid for Coveny moments ago was no good.
 
EDIT - And it's a 5-3 final. The Bantams advance to the D-III final for the first time ever.

 

[mabrowndog]

HOLY CRAP!
 
The NCHC ‏@TheNCHC 42s43 seconds ago Indiana, USA
And @SCSUHUSKIES_MH ties it with 37 seconds left! Brodzinski scores w/ extra attacker to make it a 2-2 game!
 
Chris Dilks ‏@ChrisDilks 2m2 minutes ago
Tech had the puck, an empty-net and lots of space. Guy ices it instead of skating one step over red line. SCSU ties it.
 
And they head to OT in Fargo.

 

[mabrowndog]

A power play goal makes it 4-0 UM-Duluth, and the Gophers are getting creamed right now. A Carson Soucy deflection off a one-timer that skirts off the ice and bounces back up past the goalie stick blade. 8:00 left in the 2nd.
 
This is pretty accurate, IMO:
 
Rick Pizzo ‏@BTNRickPizzo 3m3 minutes ago
Brutally honest assessment: @GopherHockey effort (or lack thereof) a really bad look for nat'l perception of @B1GHockey.

 

[mabrowndog]

Just as the 2nd ends in Manchester and the Gophers sulk off to the locker room, the SCSU-MTU OT is underway in Fargo.

 

[mabrowndog]

Whoa.
 
The NCHC ‏@TheNCHC 29s29 seconds ago Indiana, USA
Judd Peterson buries his own rebound to give @SCSUHUSKIES_MH the 3-2 OT win! SCSU moves on to tomorrow's West Region final!

[mabrowndog]

The Gophers whiff on a power play, now 11:00 left in the game, still down 4-0.
 
Nate Wells ‏@gopherstate 9m9 minutes ago
Barring a comeback this will be the first season Minnesota and North Dakota do not play one another since 1947-48.

 

[mabrowndog]

The vast expanse of empty yellow seats in Manchester is plainly visible on the broadcast, but here it is for posterity's sake. Beyond embarrassing:
 

 

[mabrowndog]

Gophers avoid the shutout as Ambroz scores with 4:54 left.

 

[mabrowndog]

Empty netter with 1:38 makes it 5-1 UM-Duluth.
 
EDIT - Scratch the goal. Waved off after review due to a hand pass at the other end of the ice. Should have been a penalty on UMD, actually, since he closed his fist around the puck and then threw it around the boards.
 
EDIT - 4-1 final. Bulldogs vs Terriers tomorrow.

 

[mabrowndog]

This sums things up nicely for the Gophers:
 
Ken Schott ‏@slapschotts 3m3 minutes ago
Minn. brought just about everyone back after losing to #UnionHockey in #NCAAHockey title game. Should have gotten back there. Disappointing.

10:25 to go first period. No score. Lindstrom walks in for a good look that was sealed by Jaeger. Amherst's top group has been rock solid.
 
Hockey in the 'Cac ‏@hockeyinthecac 16s16 seconds ago
Clooooose one. Puck trickles by Jaeger on a Connor Brown shot, but Pointers goalie covers up. 9:17 left in 1st still scoreless.

 

[mabrowndog]

Quinnipiac playing really physical, and the puck has spent more time in the Sioux zone during the first 7 minutes. No score.

 

[Spaulding Smails]

Fargo sounds like the Bell Centre each time a ND player falls to the ice.

 

[mabrowndog]

Third spectacular takedown of a UND skater by a QU defender -- earlier it was Federico, the last two were great stops at the blue line.
 
And a third round of loud boos and "bull-shit!" chant cascades throughout Fargo.
 
And the penalty they were all screaming for? It gets called on their own player.

 

[mabrowndog]

Fargo sounds like the Bell Centre each time a ND player falls to the ice.

 
Perfect. It really does. They're so fucking provincial out there.

 

[mabrowndog]

So QU gets a pair of penalties for boarding & roughing, both in retaliation. Power play Sioux with 7:30 left.

 

[mabrowndog]

UND makes it count. A snapper from the left point by Poolman through a screen.

 

[mabrowndog]

Hockey in the 'Cac ‏@hockeyinthecac 6m6 minutes ago
End of 1: Amherst 0 UWSP 0. SOG in favor of Pointers 10-9. No penalties in the period.

Blog of Brotherhood ‏@MiamiHockeyBlog 4m4 minutes ago
Morons at @ESPN have the Bobcats listed as Quinnipiac (CT)... I wonder if the other Quinnipiac Universities are mad.

 

[mabrowndog]

Power play coming for the Bobcats after they have a breakaway chance broken up. 5:00 left in the first.

 

[mabrowndog]

Buzzer sounds, 1-0 UND after one.

 

[mabrowndog]

Hockey in the 'Cac ‏@hockeyinthecac 1m1 minute ago
GOAL! Amherst takes 1-0 lead about 4 minutes into 2nd when Brendan Burke puts in rebound off @Lhomas16 shot.
 
d3hockey.com ‏@d3hky 1m1 minute ago
AMHERST GOAL: Brendan Burke cans an open net rebound off the far pad set up by Lindstrom with 16:28 left in the 1st. Rowbotham w/secondary.

 

[mabrowndog]

d3hockey.com ‏@d3hky 33s33 seconds ago
1-0 and Point comes back the other way and drills one in.... Perhaps. It's under review.
 
Hockey in the 'Cac ‏@hockeyinthecac 2m2 minutes ago
Officials reviewing play to see if puck crossed line for first UWSP goal. Things heating up in the 2nd as they did in 1st semi.
 
Has the jury reached a verdict?
 
d3hockey.com ‏@d3hky 38s38 seconds ago
Ruling: Puck off a Lemirande shot was gloved, but it cannot be established as being completely over the line. No goal.

 

[mabrowndog]

Hockey in the 'Cac ‏@hockeyinthecac 6m6 minutes ago
Goal! Amherst leading scorer David White cleans up rebound for 2-0 Jeffs lead with 11:45 left in 2nd.
 
d3hockey.com ‏@d3hky 4m4 minutes ago
11:22 2nd. Point responds quickly just 23 seconds afterwards. Alex Brooks from D'Avolio and Gibson. This is really opening up.

 

[mabrowndog]

UND goalie Zane McIntyre (nee Gothberg) just robbed Quinnipiac with a great save. 15:30 left in the 2nd in Fargo.

 

[mabrowndog]

20 minutes from an all-NESCAC national championship...
 
d3hockey.com ‏@d3hky 24s25 seconds ago
End 2: Amherst 2, UW-Stevens Point 1. Shots 24-19 Point, all 3 goals came in this period.

 

[mabrowndog]

Chyzyk scores for UND to make it 2-0 Sioux. Great passing on the play to set it up, but he shot it in from the corner below the goal line -- like Larry Bird swishing a shot over he backboard. It banked in off a skate blade. 12:00 left in the 2nd.

 

[mabrowndog]

Some solid hitting on both sides leads to matching penalties and 4-on-4 for two minutes.

 

[mabrowndog]

Now another whistle on UND for running into the goalie. He lost his balance and fell into him. Lucky for them it's not a major. Power play QU.
 
EDIT - And there's a shorthanded 3-on-4 goal with a 2-on-1 breakaway up the left side and the feed across to Caggiula for the dump-in. 3-0 Sioux.
 
North Dakota MHockey ‏@UNDmhockey 40s41 seconds ago
That's UND's 10th short-handed goal of the season, tying UMass-Lowell for the national lead.

 

[jsinger121]

Big time egg laid by us tonight. That is back to back shitty starts on Friday games.

Running a FarmersOnly. com ad during a North Dakota hockey game … can’t say ESPN doesn’t know its audience.

 

[mabrowndog]

Light at the end of the tunnel, but not many rays left...
 
North Dakota MHockey ‏@UNDmhockey 54s54 seconds ago
Now Quinnipiac will go to the power play as Stephane Pattyn takes a double-minor for roughing/cross-checking. Four minute PP coming for QU.

 

[mabrowndog]

All even in Minneapolis now...
 
Hockey in the 'Cac ‏@hockeyinthecac 23s23 seconds ago
This one's not coming back. USWP's D'Avolio pokes it in from in front of the net to tie the game at 2 with 14:07 left in 3rd.

 

[mabrowndog]

UND looked effortless in killing that off. McIntyre hasn't been tested much tonight, but the saves he's made have been impressive.

 

[mabrowndog]

Amherst playing from behind now...
 
Hockey in the 'Cac ‏@hockeyinthecac 47s48 seconds ago
Alex Brooks snipes it for the power play goal to give UWSP the 3-2 lead with 12:37 to go in the 3rd.

 

[mabrowndog]

d3hockey.com ‏@d3hky 1m1 minute ago
Amherst starting to spiral out of control. 73 seconds after the last PP goal, Fenwick for a trip. Arena might want to call timeout soon.

 

[mabrowndog]

We can probably stick a fork in the Lord Jeffs...
 
d3hockey.com ‏@d3hky 3m3 minutes ago
Pointers goal. UW-Stevens Point 4, Amherst 2 with 8:46 to go. They're crediting it to Sharkey with the assist from Cornellier. #d3hky
 
d3hockey.com ‏@d3hky 2m2 minutes ago
Sharkey made a great entry play, went to that half wall chip to a soft spot and they got it on goal and canned the rebound.
 
d3hockey.com ‏@d3hky 27s27 seconds ago
Point has hit the gas pedal. Now 5-2. Joe Kalisz beats Vitale one-on-one at 12:49. A 5-0 run for SP. Amherst has called timeout

 

[mabrowndog]

Ken Sweeten ‏@QUSID 6m6 minutes ago
Bobcats have out-attempted UND 50-27; Shots are even, 17-17; UND with 21 blocked shots through two periods; UND 3, QU 0 to start 3rd

 

[mabrowndog]

D3hockey.com ‏@d3hky 23s23 seconds ago
1:45 to go. NOW it's actually 6-2 Point. Second time around.... Empty net goal for Cornellier.
 
Hockey in the 'Cac ‏@hockeyinthecac 57s58 seconds ago
Stevens point will improve to 8-0 in national semifinals while Amherst will drop to 0-2.

 

[mabrowndog]

Too little too late, but UND had a power play nixed by a 5-minute major & game misconduct to Paul LaDue for checking from behind. Once the minor expired, that gave QU a power play beginning at 3:47. They pull Garteig with 2:00 left, playing 6-on-4, and get on the board on an Andrew Taverner score with 1:26 to play.
 
And UND ends it with an empty netter. St. Cloud vs the Sioux in the regional final.
