GDT: 2024 NCAA Regionals/Frozen Four Discussion

[No Fun Shogun]

Is it usually 2 weeks of a gap also? Thats absurd

Yes. The NCAA doesn't want the Frozen Four and the Final Four to counterprogram each other.

And by that, I mean for the Frozen Four to be ignored.

lol, as someone who loves both hockey and basketball I know from my many decades in hockey locker rooms that I am a very rare breed. Can probably count on one hand and still have fingers left over the number of basketball fans I've met at ice rinks.

It's not so much that. I used to be a fan of basketball. Loved watching the sport growing up during the Jordan era. It's just... the sport has kinda gone to absolute shit over the past 10-15 years. It's soft, and there's zero defense for 95% of the teams, and it regularly just becomes a "who can make more 3's" contest. It's difficult to watch most the time.

I should've prefaced that by saying "except during the Jordan era" Everyone followed the Bulls back then, even us cavemen hockey players.

Yea the game has changed a lot and not for the better. No argument there.

BU(Ryan Greene) vs Denver(Aidan Thompson) at 4pm central today.

I have not watched much of Thompson this season but have watched Greene a lot the past two years and he seems to be playing his best NCAA hockey in the last 1/2 dozen games or so.

Both listed as second line center on the line chart.

Looking forward to the games today

 

[Pez68]

What a shot.

 

[Larmer83]

Lane Hutson trying to be too cute and it's tied at 1.

 

[TLEH]

Aidan Thompson just got robbed.

 

[WarriorofTime]

That’s the story of Thompson’s season. So snake bitten.

 

[TLEH]

Thompson has been good tonight

 

[WarriorofTime]

Do nhl teams hire ncaa coaches directly? I like David Carle. Coaching rising star imo.

 

[ChiHawks10]

This OT has been crazy.

David Quinn and hakstol

Denver might actually need to kill someone to get a penalty called against them.

 

[Mrfenn92]

DU to the championship

Ryan Greene watch is on

 

[ChiHawks10]

That's a bad goal to lose on, IMO.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Refs didn’t have much control over this game. Sad the game was officiated that way. But…..Denver is a solid team as well. Next game should be a banger.

[Hattrick Kane]

Michigan coach must have had to put his pettiness aside and play his actual top centre as the top centre. Ridiculous how Nazar has been used this year.

 

[TLEH]

I’ll bet Greene signs.

 

[hawksfan50]

Greene and Thompson no.points..2 shots on goal each on 3 shot attempts each ..Greene -1...
Both under50% on draws..

=nothingburgers..


Macklin Celebrini 8 shotsvon goal outvof 16 shot attempts...No points...but 15/22 on draws.

Obviously 16 shot attempts=ice tilted on his shifts...puck gets into o-zone when he is out there..but could not beat tge Denver goalie tonight.

 

[clydesdale line]

I can't see Michigan beating BC but I hope like hell they do.. and this is coming from someone who hates Michigan.

When he was centering the third line, that was horrible. Outside of that, it's mostly been his PP usage that's been annoying this year. I never minded Nazar basically anchoring his own line.
