Check this thread out for some really cool senior tribute videos.

The starting graphics with a pic of the player from their youth days was awesome.

Got my frozen 4 tix. Hoping to see some Sabres prospects in the semi-final and final games.

Nice! A FF in Boston should be epic.

I'm never willing to pencil any team into the FF, but you should be seeing Power there. Michigan has been able to dial it in at will down the stretch. BUT! There are 6 or 7 teams with a legit title shot this year. Minnesota has been burning it up lately.

Thanks for this thread. I'm visiting as a Wings fan, but as a Badger and NCAA fan, this is Nirvana!

I admit, I'm a UM doubter. I think I've seen most of their games since the New Year and they've struggled hard with the Irish and at times with the Gophers. Seems like Michigan will get one of the at-large bids regardless of the outcome of the Big 10 tournament but there are some teams out there that just seem to have their number.

With the parity in the NCAA neither a title nor a second round loss would shock me with UM...or Minnesota, Denver, Dulth, etc. It's pretty much anyone's game (except the Atlantic Hockey team this year, sorry guys) once the tournament starts. A lot of stacked teams have come up short over the years.

I'll be curious to see everyone's FF picks once the bracket is out. Should be a great tournament this year

Playoff hockey returns to Buffalo this weekend as Canisius hosts a best-of-three Atlantic Hockey quarterfinal series against Mercyhurst.

Win 2, and the Griffs go to the championship weekend in Utica. If you're local, hope you consider coming down to HarborCenter this weekend.

Would love to be there. Missing live puck, going through rink withdrawal.

Michigan taking on Notre Dame on B10Network if you have it.

 

[Chainshot]

Watched Metsa with Quinnipiac last night and he's the UDFA RHD I would love to see in Buffalo's depth roster after the Bobcat's season ends.

 

[Chainshot]

Power leads the rush, dishes, goes to the net and gets crosschecked in front, drawing a penalty (the first of the game). That? That looked like the Power from early in the season.

 

[Chainshot]

ND goes down 2 men and kills it all off. Michigan had a bundle of chances and didn't cash in. Could prove huge.

(Power was not part of that, he drew the penalty but Blankenberg and Hughes had most of the PP time. He got about 22 seconds at the end.)

 

[Chainshot]

Michigan finishes on a great chance - Beniers from Brisson and... don't know who else.

 

[Chainshot]

Portillo is so good. And so big.

 

[jcbeze]

If Michigan loses is their season over? I'd love to see Power asap

No, they will be an "at large" invite to the NCAA but they would possibly play a harder team in the opening of their bracket.

 

[Chainshot]

Possibly the best game I've seen out of Michigan in a couple months.

That said, Minny looks so good. Their "freshman line" does not play like freshman. And that's Huglen's group and they look great.

 

[Chainshot]

Johnson showing it all so far tonight - the plus skating, the breakups with the quick stick, a couple of times he's cleaned out a PSU forward, and of course the shot that got through and deflected for Meyers' goal.

And if he could convince Meyers to come along... yes please.

 

[Chainshot]

Minny now up 2-0 after Lacombe finds twine on the PP at the start of the 2nd.

 

[Chainshot]

Quinnipiac-St. Lawrence about to go to another OT. Metsa has 12 shots at net and 4 shots on net so far.

Just screams bonafide 10-12yr pro

Yeah, his game is just so solid. There is NO reason to be tossing him into any deals. Hell, he might be the guy to pair with Dahlin or Power in the near future even if they are bucking their own preferences for balanced pairs. He reminds me a bit of a guy like Hjalmarsson who wasn't a murderer physically (Pominville aside), but his mobility and smarts and stick all deny so much. Then he makes some heady plays in the offensive zone too - he should anchor a second pairing for a good, long time.

 

[Chainshot]

Wow, PSU ties it up on the PP, 2-2. Deflection by Lugris who was their hero last weekend.

 

[Chainshot]

Metsa gets the secondary on the 2OT series winner. Lucky bounce off the end boards comes to Burgrat after he wins the draw back to Metsa who goes to Mendel. Mendel's shot caromed off the end boards back out to Burgart who'd gone to the net and he ends it.

 

[Chainshot]

Minny with all the passes, all the handles, and Walker finally finishes one of theses plays to make it 3-2 for the Gophers.
