The Clarkson's Womens Hockey won the 2014 NC$$ Div 1 Women's Hockey National Championship. Maybe the Hockey Gods will continue to smile on the ECAC?

Fixed your post And I hope the Hockey Gods give the nod to Union. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO U.

"Frozen Four Odds: Minnesota Favored, Boston College Not Far Behind"

http://www.bcinterruption.com/ncaa-t...n-north-dakota

Early lines and props have been posted for the Frozen Four, and Minnesota is favored to come out on top by a slim margin over Boston College.

Minnesota wins NCAA title: +150 (2.5 to 1)
Boston College wins NCAA title: +175 (2.75 to 1)
Union wins NCAA title: +250 (3.5 to 1)
North Dakota wins NCAA title: +550 (6.5 to 1)

No surprise here .... picked to lose ... gotta love it

I'm content with being the underdog. It's also not surprising considering we are up against some of the most storied hockey programs in NCAA history.

based on consistent play alone, union is not the underdog. and considering what happened last year, bc should be ready. really is a toss up IMO.

I agree with Ghost being undersized at the NHL level, but he "sucks"??

Gotta be one of those RPI idiots

It has nothing to do with being the underdog or overdog...

Has to do with balancing the book. They want half on one, half on the other, all about no risk, keeping the Vig

The guy might feel 100% sure Union wins but also realizes BC has more backers

Vig, Vig, Vig. Nothing else in Vegas or AC matters

YEP !!!

That is why we should always carry around with us two things. The first is a early warning system once we detect the you know what ...

and the second is a means to remove unwanted Trolls from our message boards

Actually the USCHO administrators have been doing a good job keeping the threads fairly clean. If you see something flag it with the little triangle on the left at the bottom of the post.

I agree, just saying those odds have us pegged as the underdog. Like Bodie said in the conference call, there are 4 great teams left and this should be a great frozen four. Did anybody else receive an email about Messa rink hosting the Thursday game on a huge 23X13ft screen?

I agree, in theory, but after having worked in Vegas sports-books for six years, I can say that there is always a team in every set of odds that the book is rooting for to win...Look at this year's Super Bowl...When Seattle won and the game total went over, the din of champagne corks popping was heard in every sports-book back room in Vegas...

No matter how hard any of these off-shore sports-books work the prices to attract "even" wagering, come game time, the bookies will have teams they will be rooting for...

PS, I haven't seen any of the Vegas books put up prices for the Frozen Four, just off-shore sports-books...The main reason for this is that most of the line makers in Vegas don't know **** about college hockey, so they won't risk the potential loss...

PPS, Sports gambling is illegal in AC casinos...This isn't the case, however, in the alley between the casinos...

There will not be enough money bet on this to make a bit of difference, Hell, NHL wagering is hardly a blip on the sports book radar.

I got it, too. Kudos to the school for putting this on, but if I wasn't going to Philly already, I think I'd prefer the comfort of my couch and 50" HD plasma.

I hate this week off in between the regionals and FF. I would've rather been in Philly yesterday. Did the NC$$ really move this so as to not conflict with the bouncyball stuff?
