changed the title a little, it's on ESPN not ESPN2 for those watching it in the states. Should be a good game. UMD has a young blueline, Notre Dame has the top goalie in the NCAA. Both goalies are undrafted FA's.

For the draft, take a look at UMD's Scott Perunovich #7. He was passed over at last summers draft, he's an undersized Freshman but led his team in scoring.

I hope Jake Evans leads his team to the title and signs an entry level contract after the game.

I really hope he plays nhl games. It's so unlikely that a seventh round pick ever makes it that it's always nice when one does. So hopefully Jake Evans is one of those success stories. I mean even if he doesn't he's already had a fantastic hockey career and an education to go with it. I'm cheering for him.

I had checked on NCAA's site and it was written ESPN 2. Nevertheless. Let's go Evans!

Must have been a typo, they have the same format every year, Semi Finals on ESPN2, Finals on ESPN.

 

[Whitesnake]

Not looking good. 2-0 after 1 for UMD.

 

[JuicyHam]

Notre dame looking better. Killed off 2 big penalties and then scored on a powerplay of their own. 2-1 but Notre dame pushing.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Evans gets an assist

 

[S Bah]

Trevor Timmins with the 7th round pick # 207 takes Center Jake"Capt.Lucky Charm"Evans, Go Irish Go!!!...

 

[JuicyHam]

Evans looking better as the game goes on. Notre dame still pushing but can't get the equalizer. End of 2 still 2-1.

 

[Whitesnake]

Will the Cardiac Kids have one more trick in their sleeve? 10 minutes to go. Still 2-1.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Evans is clutch yet again tonight. Nobody can accuse him of not leaving everything behind.

 

[Whitesnake]

Cardiac Kids didn't have enough this time.....Sucks. Can't believe MND won the National Championship....wow.

 

[Whitesnake]

Just wow.....

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Yup, UND got close but they couldn't quite pull off the late game heroics this time. Evans can end his college career with pride, he played very well. I never would have bet on Duluth actually winning it all before the tournament started.

 

[Whitesnake]

Hey....small thought to Scott Kishel....ex-Habs prospects that used to play for MND....

 

[Tighthead]

Happy for former Hab Scott Sandelin.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Notre-dame didnt look good in the third. They had a lot of trouble making passes

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Hey....small thought to Scott Kishel....ex-Habs prospects that used to play for MND....

Small like his career ?

 

[Whitesnake]

Yup, UND got close but they couldn't quite pull off the late game heroics this time. Evans can end his college career with pride, he okayed very well. I never would have bet on Duluth actually winning it all before the tournament started.

It should have ended in the 1st round for them. Minn State was so much better. Then, they had the chance to see Air Force win against St-Cloud. Then Ohio. All super close games.

 

[Whitesnake]

Small like his career ?

Exactly.

UMD lost in the finals last year to Denver, so guess it's fitting they get the win although Notre Dame also lost to Denver in the semi-finals of the frozen fours last year. I would have thought Denver would repeat this year, having the best player in the NCAA and just dominated teams last year. Funny, both this year and last years National Champions were coached by former Habs.
