BC 2-1 after 2. Tech with a boatload of chances that period but can't beat Fowler. This will be a real interesting 3rd period

After watching this game if BC wins which is definitely in doubt do people still think Wisconsin/Quinnipiac have no chance of beating BC in the region final?

This is referring to the talk about BC being in an easy regional and that it is a given they will make the Frozen Four.

All the teams that make the NCAA tournament are capable of pulling an upset against anybody including the #1 ranked team. There are many reasons why the #1 ranked team rarely wins the natty.

Teams that make the NCAA tournament are good defensively so they are very capable of keeping the game close. Wisconsin/Quinnipiac are better versions of the defensive style Tech is playing.

Quinnipiac/Wisconsin also have more offensive fire power to take advantage of the opportunities they get.

Quinnipiac 4.1 goals per game against the 27th toughest schedule

Wisconsin 3.2 goals per game against the 17th toughest schedule

Michigan Tech 2.8 goals per game against the 43rd toughest schedule

feel bad for Tech. They've been the better team for huge stretches of this game and now they're just getting some weird fluky shit and the game is over

 

edit: ok good deal that that gets wiped off. agree that's a good rule

BC dumps the puck in, it hits the ref and goes straight in the net.

Waived off no goal.

Am I crazy in saying the MTU player didn't make direct contact to the head?

I don’t know if he hits him in the head either. Still a dumb launch and a penalty but yeah idk about it being so clear cut like it was called immediately.

Tech is less and less interested in playing hockey and more interested in things like wrestling and bar fighting.

Buccigross is the worst and so biased.  Absolutely awful.

BC is so good. 

and yet after 2 periods they probably should’ve been losing to a team that wasn’t thought to be a contender to make the tourney for most of the season. I’ll be curious to see how it goes against Q or WI though I still expect them to win pretty handily

The funny thing is I think he was trying to hit the head, but missed.

Had a good laugh at number 4… is it too much to ask for a 2nd meteor in the q/uw game?? 

I hate that we lost to q last year but it's hard to hate the program.  

The other three....bring on the nuclear option.  🤔

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

For all the consternation about not enough seats available in Maryland Heights, there sure are a lot of empty seats at the start of this game. (yes I know the ND and Michigan fans travel better)

A lot of people aren't that exited about sitting in a hockey rink for 6 straight hours (which will be more if either game goes to OT) so they really only go to their game.

close to a 2 hour and 30 minute game (extra TV timeouts in NCAA tournament games)

at least an hour between games (games at each regional site are scheduled at 3.5 hours apart)

close to a 2 hour and 30 minute game (extra TV timeouts in NCAA tournament games)

The Big Ten playoffs being 3 weeks long didn't do Wisconsin in favors.

Yes I realize that Wisconsin lost in the quarterfinals but so did Western Michigan but because the NCHC playoffs are two weeks long they only had one weekend off rather than two weekends off like Wisconsin did.

The Badgers last game was 19 days ago on Sunday March 10th.

i wish I understood why this hasn’t been an issue worthy of an ncaa scheduling change so there isn’t these situations. Is it really that complicated to figure out a more reasonable consistent end for everyone’s conference tournaments from quarterfinals to championships?

Do Michigan fans really travel well?  My guess is mostly Hawk fans.

There was a big hit about 20-30 seconds before the hooking penalty. Western thought there was contact to the head. The TV crew and Clymer were looking at the wrong play.

Their school colors are brown and gold but I suppose that doesn't for sure answer this question.
