NCAA Quarterfinals

Re: NCAA Quarterfinals

Finally some drama.

Entertaining first period.

(Some weak goals today though...BC's 1st and to a lesser degree their 2nd and Kessel's short handed goal...all 5 holes).

Newell has good technicals and she is quick. If PU can support the shooters to the net we might have, both, more drama and entertainment.

Re: NCAA Quarterfinals

Minny score is under review. I thought might be goalie interference? Nope, a good goal. 4-1 Minny.

Re: NCAA Quarterfinals

Cameranesi with the breakaway 5-1. Now Kessel gets the hat trick on another breakaway. 6-1 Minny

Re: NCAA Quarterfinals

End of 2: 6-1 Minny. Too much speed and skill on the Minny side for Prinny. Although I must say Prinny had a number of odd man rushes and chances that they could not convert on. Seemed like Prinny came in wanting to pressure Minny but did not have the speed or skill to make this work.

Re: NCAA Quarterfinals

interesting to see Princeton trying to pressure Minnesota and although there have been some turnovers they have paid the price. Not many WCHA teams are going to try to play Minnesota that way.

Re: NCAA Quarterfinals

Even before the 5th and 6th UM goals PU had been making way too many mistakes...poor passes...passes to nowhere...passes to UM...(which actually started in the first period) and if all the offense they can muster is the odd shot from 25-30 ft out then they have no answers...too bad...judging from the first period it appeared like it was going to be more of a contest.

And another weak goal by Kessel...Newell should have had that one.

Remember, Princeton is better than Northeastern. Right, committee?

Fixed your post . Apps was a little before my time of following women's hockey.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The sound of the whistle going off at Cheel celebrating another Frozen Four. Wish I could make it to Lake Whitt but ......... I know Clarkson will be big underdogs to BC but I know they will give them everything they can handle.

BC will be out for revenge from a few year ago when Clarky beat them the year they went on to win it.

Re: NCAA Quarterfinals

To be fair, I think Northeastern would struggle with the depth of Minnesota as well.

And suspect Lake With gives a distinct advantage to BC in this matchup.

BC got their revenge last year but could not take advantage of the win .

Time for Clarkson to get revenge for last year. After all, who'd a thunk in 2014 Clarkson would beat Minny. Oh I remember who, the Clarkson team.

Final Minny 6 Prinny 2.

The gophers were kind and allowed Princeton to score 30 seconds into the game and the, so they would have a nice memory to take home, again with10 seconds left. The rest of the game they just ran them ragged. 6-2 MN

Actually the final goal came with just 2.8 seconds remaining.

You viewed the game on a video stream. I was in the seats with an angle from directly behind Kessel.

Believe me if you want, doubt me if you must, there wasn't anything soft about that goal unless you view picking the absolute top corner stick side over a butterfly goaler as automatically soft.
