[No Fun Shogun]

Tournament bracket announced:

Providence Regional
1) Harvard vs 4) Providence
2) Western Michigan vs 3) Air Force

Fargo Regional
1) Minnesota-Duluth vs 4) Ohio State
2) Boston University vs 3) North Dakota

Manchester Regional
1) Minnesota vs 4) Notre Dame
2) UMass Lowell vs 3) Cornell

Cincinnati Regional

So, of those matchups, guess I'm rooting for Air Force, North Dakota, UMass Lowell, and Union to make it to the Frozen Four in Chicago. Reserving my actual predictions for now, not expecting them to be the final four.

Tough picks! Providence for the upset and a spot in the FF, Duluth from the Fargo bracket, DU from Cincy, can't decide on the Lowell/Cornell game so I'll go with Big Red just to throw a twist in there. Duluth wins it all. I just hope they don't​ color their hair that urine-yellow like they did in 2011.

Very interested to see what Penn State can do there

Any word if TSN up here in Canada is going to carry the games again this year? They have the last couple of years and I have really enjoyed following the tournament...gives us a few extra weeks of college hockey when the CIS season ends.

Looked around on both TSN and SN's TV schedules and nothings on them but a college hockey site in the US says all the games will be online @ TSN GO.

I dunno if this is a guess on their part or if it's real atm.
Guess we'll find out.

If i had to guess, TSN likely has the rights in Canada but will keep it all online streams as opposed to televised like last year.

Great! So TSN can keep its feeds open for curling and X-Games. Right on guys!. Garbage....

Denver wins.

 

[TLEH]

This is ridiculous. Offsides is a joke.

 

[GKJ]

No shots for BU in the 1st OT

 

[Cody Webster]

The defending champs are done

 

[TLEH]

BU absolutely outplayed but their best two players end it. Boeser terrible in OT(s)

 

[troyerlaw]

My lord, the overtime winner by BU to bounce the Fighting Sioux was a real beauty. McAvoy from Keller

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Go Terriers.

Probably didn't deserve that one, and was about to change the channel after the ND overtime goal but saw the refs in the review box and decided to hold on.

When you dominate for so long without a result it usually bites you in the ass, like it did ND today.

 

[Breakers]

BU absolutely outplayed but their best two players end it. Boeser terrible in OT(s)

He was their best forward

I don't even see the games on TSN GO. Disappointing.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I watched some of the BU/ND game on TSN GO yesterday.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

With ND out, I'm all about rooting for Air Force. Not expecting them to win, but would love to see them win their regional and actually make the Frozen Four.

And Denver up 1-0 on Michigan Tech midway through the first.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Denver/Michigan Tech game essentially over with 44 minutes left.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Dueling blowouts with UMass Lowell up 3-0 on Cornell.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Looking like Lowell and ND could be destined for overtime.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

And Notre Dame indeed wins it in overtime 3-2.
