CCHA Tournament
Northern Michigan 2 at Miami 3
Nebraska-Omaha 0 at Notre Dame 5
Ohio State 0 at Alaska 4
Western Michigan 2 at Michigan 5
Analysis
No real surprising results here other than maybe OSU losing to Alaska.
Everyone else that won was expected to win.
CHA Tournament
Robert Morris 2 vs. Niagara 1
Alabama-Huntsville 1 at Bemidji State 4
Analysis
The shocker of the night was that RMU ended Niagara's playoff chances.
ECAC Tournament
Quinnipiac 3 at St. Lawrence 5
Union 2 at Princeton 3
Rensselaer 1 at Cornell 0
Brown 2 at Yale 4
Analysis
The big shocker here was the Cornell Big Red losing to Rensselaer.
HEA Tournament
Maine 1 at Boston University 2
Boston College 5 at New Hampshire 3
Massachusetts 2 at Northeastern 1
Mass.-Lowell 4 at Vermont 3 ot
Analysis
UMass-Lowell shocks Vermont. Boston College says we are not dead yet as the Eagle beats UNH in Durham, N.H. and now B.C. sits on the bubble at 17 in the PWR. The Eagles are going to have to probably win the Hockey East tourney or have a good showing to advance to the NCAA tourney.
AHA Tournament
Canisius 3 at Bentley 6
Holy Cross 5 at RIT 3
Army 2 at Mercyhurst 6
Sacred Heart 3 at Air Force 4
Analysis
I was shocked that RIT lost to Holy Cross since I have picked RIT to win the AHA tourney.
WCHA Tournament
Minnesota State 1 at Wisconsin 7
St. Cloud State 2 at Minnesota 4
Alaska-Anchorage 2 at Denver 3
Michigan Tech 1 at North Dakota 5
Minnesota-Duluth 4 at Colorado College 1
Analysis
Bulldogs take a bite out of Bachman and the Tigers. From what I hear the Bulldogs came out with a vengeance and took it to the Tigers. It will be interesting to see if UMD can finish the deal tonight. (EDIT) I got a text last night from Lets Go Mav's and she had mentioned that the Mav's were outshot 66-27 by the Badgers. At first I thought it was a misprint but after WCHAdominates post I went back and looked at the box score and that shot total is eye popping. Wisconsin might be one of the better teams to miss the NCAA tourney this season.
You forgot to mention the absolute thrashing that Bucky put on the Mavericks in Madison last night. The Badgers won 7-1, but that was not the most glaring stat. The shots on goal were 66 to 27 in favor of the home team! I've never, ever heard of a shot total that high in my 10+ years of following hockey...at any level. 66 shots is a good total for a 2-game series, so to have that in just one game is just mind-boggling. To see 50 shots in a game by one team is a lot; to see 66, now that's exceedingly rare!
ReplyDeleteI got a text message on that last night and I thought it was an misprint but after reading the game summary holy cow. I am not shocked by that score to be honest with you. UW looked pretty good in their second game last weekend.
ReplyDelete66 shots on goal is, like, a month for Wisconsin normally!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping tUMD can overcome The Curse Of Goon Cheering For Them! J/k. Always appreciate the support for my dogs.
