Frozen Four Finals: BC vs. Wisconsin

[schillingouttheks]

The BC Eagles and the Wisconsin Badgers will battle it out tonight on ESPN at 7pm EST for the college hockey championship. Anyone going to watch? My cousins, Matt and Justin Greene, both play for BC so I will be switching back and forth between the Sox and Eagles most likely. Any fans?

Last years Frozen Four about 8 people cared, this year it's down to about three.

 

But, I'm a hockey fan so I'll switch between the Sox, BC, and the Sabres.

 

My Prediction: BC: 4 Wisconsin: 3

2-1 Wisconsin, ten minutes left.

Wisconsin wins. Great action in the last minute, especially the last two seconds: a hit post.

Ouch. So, that sorta sucks. BC has a good 2 years coming up though, with a lot of sophomores and some great freshmen on the team.

Congrats to the Badgers with a 2-1 win.

 

BC had to overcome a lot of penalties.

It was just that Wisconsin was really good. BC is known to do well with shorthanded goals and killing powerplays, so I don't think it was as big of a problem as it's made out to be. What really sucks is that they lost 2-1, and with about .9 seconds left in the third period, BC shoots the puck and the puck slides in and bounces off the post. Talk about tough luck...

BC played a great game and really the fact is they overachieved all season with such a young bunch of guys. Even Jerry York said that he was surprised his team went this far. They definitely be back here in the next few years and maybe even win it.

I don't think they "overachieved" all season. They had a disastrous record against BU and almost blew winning the conference. They have a ton of talent, and they will definitely be back. My cousins were pretty bumbed out about last night but they are definitely confident that they'll be back and win it within the next 2 years. I think I heard on ESPN last night that 30% of their goals on the season came from freshmen. The next few years looks pretty good.
