[MarkovsKnee]

BU wins 6-3, so Hutson plays another game.

They'll meet either Minnesota or Omaha at 6:30 pm on Saturday. Winner goes to Frozen Four tournament.

Hutson finishes with a goal, and an assist.

His goal.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Hutson now has 96 pts in 74 NCAA games.

He has 48 pts in 36 GP so far this year. Last year he had 48 pts in 39 GP.

Trying to find the teams ranking cant find it but when i look at the scroreboard on the CHN site theres a number beside the teams name like number 2 beside BU, and 3 beside Denver is it their ranking in the NCAA, if so do you happen to know wich teams are 1 and 4, i guess it's BC and Michigan but not sure

The tournament is done based off the pairwise rankings. So 16 teams make it, the break them up into 4 groups so each group is ranked 1 through 4 so the 1's play the 4's and the 2's play the 3's and winners advance to face each other and that winner advances to the Frozen Fours.

Here's how they are ranked by the pairwise,

Men's Division I PairWise Rankings - College Hockey | USCHO.com

Rankings College Hockey Rankings, USCHO Poll, USA Today Poll, PairEWise rankings, PWR, PairWise Comaparison, RPI, Ratings Percentage Index

So BC because they are #1, face the #16 team, BU as #2 faces the #15 team, Denver as the #3 faces the #14 team, etc.. But then you have the auto bids for winning your conference, so this year you had RIT and Michigan Tech get auto bids for winning the Atlantic and CCHA so they knocked out Providence and SCSU who would have made the tournament if not for the auto bids.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Denver will take on Cornell in the Springfield Regional Final on Saturday @ 4PM ET.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hutson now has 96 pts in 74 NCAA games.

He has 48 pts in 36 GP so far this year. Last year he had 48 pts in 39 GP.

Legitimately thought he'd do less, like 40 in 35 type deal.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Yeesh, Mittelstadt got absolutely walked on the 2nd goal. Omaha leads 2-1. Pitlick is invisible, but most of Minnesota's forwards are.

13 minutes left in 3rd.

Minnesota ties it up. 2-2. 10:21 left.

Oh wow, Minnesota scores with 4:10 left. 3-2. Gophers have been dominant since scoring their 2nd. Beauty tip by Nelson.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Minnesota wins 3-2, so all our prospects won today and we're guaranteed to have representation at Frozen Four.

It's Minnesota (Pitlick, Mittelstadt) vs BU (Hutson, Tuch) Saturday at 6:30 pm. Winner moves on.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Minnesota wins it. Two regional finals set:

Saturday
Harris & Denver vs. Cornell @ 4PM ET
Hutson/Tuch and BU vs. Pitlick/Mittlestadt and Minnesota @ 6:30PM ET

Minnesota wins 3-2, so all our prospects won today and we're guaranteed to have representation at Frozen Four.

It's Minnesota (Pitlick, Mittelstadt) vs BU (Hutson, Tuch) Saturday at 6:30 pm. Winner moves on.

So two Habs prospects will move on while the other two will go home.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Fowler & BC @ 2PM ET vs. Michigan Tech.

A win today and he ties the record for most wins by a freshman goalie at 30.

 

[Tyson]

Fowler & BC @ 2PM ET vs. Michigan Tech.

A win today and he ties the record for most wins by a freshman goalie at 30.

I don't see how BC doesn't win the National title at this point.

 

[Rapala]

I don't see how BC doesn't win the National title at this point.

Other than the 1 game format I would tend to agree.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Cutter Gauthier scores 35 seconds into game, but Michigan Tech ties it with a shorthanded goal.

That was a weird situation as the penalty was a hook from behind on a clear breakaway. It should have been a penalty shot, but refs gave the PP instead. A really bad pass coming out of BC's zone lead to a 2 on 0 for MT. Player looked/faked pass & shot. Fowler played the pass, so yeah, no chance there really.

1-1 after 1 between BC and MT.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Oh man that was such a bad rebound by Fowler. BC is lucky it's not 2-1 MT.

Lol Oh terrible turnover by BC, huge save by Fowler! OMG. Wake the f***-up, BC.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

What. A. Shift. By. Leonard! f***, I love that player.

2-1 BC. Leonard goal after a huge defensive play.

Oh Leonard, what a move.

 

[Whitesnake]

Oh Perreault that was so dumb....

 

[Team_Spirit]

Brutal hit to the head

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Oh, oh Perreault with a nasty headshot.

MT will challenge for a 5 minute major.

 

[Whitesnake]

And he's gone.....dumb hit.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Leonard was starting to dominate the last few shifts.

BC will have to kill off a 5 minute major. Perreault thrown out.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

HUGE save Fowler!

 

[MarkovsKnee]

BC kills the major penalty. Fowler stood strong.

 

[Whitesnake]

Fowler...just so technical. Great to see. Love the kid.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

2-1 BC after 2.

 

[Tyson]

2-1 BC after 2.

Fowler 19 saves. I don't think BC expected this tough of a game.

 

[teamfirst]

stupid hit by Perreault, is he getting suspended

Fowler...just so technical. Great to see. Love the kid.

Seems so calm too
