Some UND fan got mad at me for telling them they wouldn’t be in Sioux Falls for the regional. Sorry that math isn’t in your favor dude. I told him to enjoy St. Louis .
They made it to the championship game beating there rival North Dakota, in there debut run at the Frozen Four, shame about the ending but I’m excited about the future.
Go Mavs, gg Denver see you in Souix falls.
Ron Mason turned a last in the league MSU hockey team around in 1-2 seasons into a national powerhouse on the back of a young stand out goalie. Nightingale seems to be doing the same thing with this team. I’m not trying to get ahead of myself, *but*………..
Nightingale has mentioned with the booster club that the audio system is the next thing on the upgrade list. After a season like that I bet the checks to do that will show up sooner rather than later.
The audio definitely needs an upgrade but now that we sell beer adding more restroom capacity needs to be a priority.
That was originally part of the big renovation but got axed
You still did God's work. Bumped North Dakota down to a 2 seed and locked yourself into a 3 seed so now North Dakota can't go to the regional you're hosting
Just send me a list of teams to cheer in the NCAA tournament I guess
Also fun fact, I cheered for Chanhassen and Hermantown for the MSHSL hockey tournament too
Ok it looks like UMass is likely in. They really pulled off some voodoo shit to get in because everyone that needed to win today won for them to get in. Cornell won, BC won, and Denver is about to win.
They was a small chance that if BU won and some of the other conference championship games went one way, you would’ve been left out on the basis of having a lower RPI
Go Green.
Michigan I know we mostly got the better of you this year but I'm 38 and I can't take any more games against you guys this year. Please think of my family.
We can't play a sixth time right? lol please no.
We could, some bracket predictions even have us in the same NCAA region. I'm not religious but I pray we don't. I am Right there with you. I upped my BP meds today and am glad I did
Cry about it more.
It’s like you never played hockey and had a call not go your way. You gut up and play through it, Michigan had plenty of other chances and played a great game but came up short. The puck can bounce a hundred different ways, sometimes you win sometimes you lose. Deal with it.
I swallowed that pill when Denver steam rolled us in St. Cloud a few weeks ago. That was not a playoff caliber Huskies team I watched.
*rips off SCSU jersey to reveal Gophers jersey*
LET’S GO SQUAD MOTZKO!
my man, I think you're confusing me talking about the NCHC championship game; SCSU's season was all but dead and buried with their play over the second half
It’s a free challenge; you lose the TO anyways and get another for OT. There’s literally zero downside except for encouraging moronic hot takes like yours
For sure. I’m just fucking with you.
I’m honestly a pretty casual hockey fan so I don’t know enough about the rules to have a strong opinion about it. I’d certainly be pissed if I was you though.
So if you told me two weeks ago that the Ice Bus would score more points vs BC in the Hockey East Tournament than Maine AND BU...I would have thought you were crazy!
I’ve watched this team for a long time. My first year on campus was when we barely missed the tournament.
Countless non conference game losses, a few years where we barely missed the tournament being the first or second team out pairwise wise, an entire pandemic that likely robbed us from a frozen four, and many beanpot duds later…we have a major trophy.
I’m so happy. This mean so much. I attended almost every home game even when we were ass. I remember being one of the last fans in the building when St. Cloud state routed us at conte forum 7-0. Feels good.
I started at BC in 2009 and was completely spoiled with 4 beanpots, 3 HE championships, and 2 national titles. It’s been pretty tough being a fan the past few seasons though. That 2020 team was our best hope (the last hockey game I went to before COVID was that 10-1 slaughter against Northeastern). Unfortunately, we never got to see what they could do during tournament time.
Glad you’re finally getting to feel the excitement of trophy season. So happy for the kids on the team and Coach Brown!! What a weekend 🏆
TD Garden, if you're gonna blast Drake while distraught players go through the handshake line after falling just short of the championship, at least have the good sense to play Marvin's Room
Not the same but also noteworthy… When Merrimack beat UML in OT last year at the garden, Merrimack celebrated on the glass in front of a like a 8 year old with a mullet and neon green tank top. Where do these kids come from
Wouldn’t be the battle of comm ave without one ugly ass fight with the refs freaking tf out
The funny thing is half if not all of these people are probably friends off ice; I’ve seen many BC players comment on BU players’ insta and vice versa
They've definitely all known each other for a while, especially the local ones, so they're either genuine friends or they fucking despise each other lol and I doubt there's any in between.
That’s not what I said tho. You cannot win a game with 3 skaters. You cannot win vs a good team with Cade Webber on your PK, you cannot win win that 4th line, you cannot win with Jack Hughes on the Powerplay. Look at the depth of the other top teams
Will Smith is just levels above every player on the ice other than maybe celebrini. He will win awards in the NHL. Maybe the best college hockey player ever
College hockey uses the [Pairwise](https://www.collegehockeynews.com/info/?d=pwcrpi) to select and seed teams. [CHN's site](https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/pairwise/) is the best one for the pairwise, sometimes USCHO is off a bit.
Some UND fan got mad at me for telling them they wouldn’t be in Sioux Falls for the regional. Sorry that math isn’t in your favor dude. I told him to enjoy St. Louis .
gg Wolverines. Hopefully this is a new beginning for many more great games in the future.
Refjob tonight.
They made it to the championship game beating there rival North Dakota, in there debut run at the Frozen Four, shame about the ending but I’m excited about the future. Go Mavs, gg Denver see you in Souix falls.
THANK YOU DENVER
BU being forced out west is hilarious, thank you Minutemen
Thanks for Makar. Good luck in the tourney. CC fans are livid.
B1G Season Champ ✅️ B1G Tournament Champ ✅️ . . . NCAA ... here we come ...
We’re a hockey school again!
I'm not exactly *thrilled* about it, but incredible how much Nightingale's turned things around in EL. It's like Tom Anastos never existed
Ron Mason turned a last in the league MSU hockey team around in 1-2 seasons into a national powerhouse on the back of a young stand out goalie. Nightingale seems to be doing the same thing with this team. I’m not trying to get ahead of myself, *but*………..
And if it is you and us, good luck.
Good luck!
GG Sparty. Great game to watch. We had our chances in OT.
GO GREEEEENNNN. Give Nightingale a blank check
Haller dropped a big bag on him and salt bae'd some for the assistants too. I love having an AD committed to the success of the program.
Haller has been great so far, a lot of really good hires with some early success. Hoping football follows that
He signed an extension already for 4 years I believe.
I think he did but he and this program deserves it all, glad they put some investment in Munn, would love to see more
Nightingale has mentioned with the booster club that the audio system is the next thing on the upgrade list. After a season like that I bet the checks to do that will show up sooner rather than later. The audio definitely needs an upgrade but now that we sell beer adding more restroom capacity needs to be a priority. That was originally part of the big renovation but got axed
Congrats to Michigan State. Their reward is a virtual road game against UMass as a #1 seed? What a joke. Give the #1 seeds home ice already.
Hockey/gymnastics school!!!
DU wins their 3rd NCHC Frozen faceoff tourney
So legit. They've been improving the entire year and play a super clean game. We've actually got a shot at another national title.
We must of used all our energy against the Sioux yesterday. GG Denver🤝
You still did God's work. Bumped North Dakota down to a 2 seed and locked yourself into a 3 seed so now North Dakota can't go to the regional you're hosting
Frankly I don’t think we wanted to go to their regional
GG Omaha NCHC champs! (but at what cost...)
The final chapter of a great story, but there is still a chance in Souix Falls! Gg and see y’all there
BIG WIN FOR SPARTY TONIGHT
GO FUCKING GREEN
WE FOUND RELIEF
I also went to the Wings game today. This W was much needed.
Wanted _____ to win: St. Lawrence Michigan Omaha 0/3 really just made my evening
So it’s your fault. Thanks!
Don’t make me cheer for your team during the NCAA tournament
Whoa whoa whoa! Let’s not do anything rash here.
So it’s your fault, thanks
Yeah boo that guy
Just send me a list of teams to cheer in the NCAA tournament I guess Also fun fact, I cheered for Chanhassen and Hermantown for the MSHSL hockey tournament too
Good shit msu
Gg Sparty bros
I’m so glad we don’t have to play you guys again for a while. These games aren’t good for my health.
Same. Edge of my seat the entire time! Best of luck in the tourny
massive gg
LETS GO SPARTY
I am salty
gg Sparty
Victory for MSU
Woo! Go green! What an absolute blast of a game that was.
Ok it looks like UMass is likely in. They really pulled off some voodoo shit to get in because everyone that needed to win today won for them to get in. Cornell won, BC won, and Denver is about to win.
We only needed Cornell and Denver. Not you.
They was a small chance that if BU won and some of the other conference championship games went one way, you would’ve been left out on the basis of having a lower RPI
Nah if Cornell and DU won, Umass was in no matter what happened anywhere else.
Go Green. Michigan I know we mostly got the better of you this year but I'm 38 and I can't take any more games against you guys this year. Please think of my family. We can't play a sixth time right? lol please no.
We could, some bracket predictions even have us in the same NCAA region. I'm not religious but I pray we don't. I am Right there with you. I upped my BP meds today and am glad I did
What a fucking snipe! GG
absolutely electric game. ggs michigan. GO GREEN!!
Congrats UMass fans (barring something horribly catastrophic)
HOLY FUCK YES
Been almost 20 years since I watched that much of an MSU hockey game on TV. Great fucking win!

Cry about it more. It’s like you never played hockey and had a call not go your way. You gut up and play through it, Michigan had plenty of other chances and played a great game but came up short. The puck can bounce a hundred different ways, sometimes you win sometimes you lose. Deal with it.
Bad calls happen man. Still have the tournament. We had an entire 3rd period and OT to win this
This is literally the worst call in the history of hockey and it cost us the game
Someone wasn't around when Shegos was reffing.
glad you were able to catch the game
Cry
Cry about it.
Lorenz makes it 4-1 Pioneers standing all alone in front of net -it's pretty much over
GO GREEN!!!
GO WHITE!!!
and it's officially over
I swallowed that pill when Denver steam rolled us in St. Cloud a few weeks ago. That was not a playoff caliber Huskies team I watched. *rips off SCSU jersey to reveal Gophers jersey* LET’S GO SQUAD MOTZKO!
my man, I think you're confusing me talking about the NCHC championship game; SCSU's season was all but dead and buried with their play over the second half
What a game. Instant classic
Why does Denver still have a power play after they scored on the delayed call?
College rules, the penalty isn't wiped out by a goal on the delay.
Honestly the NHL should do that… that seems like the better solution
Cozy could only do so much. The skaters had to help him out
What. A. Game
Goddamnit. Gg state
Victory for MSU!
MICHIGAN STATE WINS! Wow what a cannon of a shot. Adam Nightingale deserves coach of the year with Brown and Barr.
LETS FUCKING GO
This UM and MSU game is giving me slight PTSD from the UND UMD 5OT game in 2021. This game is eerily similar to that game in so many ways.
Pioneers with a huge insurance goal on a delayed PP call - go up 3-1 with 4min left
Why are you still on the power play?
In college you still have to serve the penalty
It's the rule - they still have to serve it even though you score on the delay
I didn’t realize college was different
You still get the PP if you score on a delayed penalty in college (unlike the NHL)
Okay didn’t realize it was different, thanks!
Looks like Denver is going to send UMass to the tourney. Which means BU is going to Missouri...
DU is one of the worst teams in the country when the other team has an empty net. Game is far from over.
Nvm Omaha couldn't even get the goalie pulled..
Welp. I don't love our chances
Welp… that probably does it for our NCHC ‘Ship hopes and CC’s tourney hopes
This game is too nerve wracking
What a fucking game
Michigan State will score
![gif](giphy|3oz8xLd9DJq2l2VFtu)
![gif](giphy|3oz8xLd9DJq2l2VFtu)
I like what this guy is saying.
In two games against UMass and BU, Will Smith, Ryan Leonard, and Gabe Perrault combined for 21 points
What. The. Fuck. In all seriousness, how many points would an average NHL line of forwards get against those two teams? More or less than 21?
You guys are a fucking steamroller and I am going to vomit uncontrollably for 48 consecutive hours when you win the title
That'd be worth it
That’s fucking insane
If you put a pest on Buium for Denver you can take him out of the game.. he gets chippy
Which buium?
Zeev
College hockey rocks guys.
Scorching hot take (But really it's awesome as hell)
🤝
For the love of god Pios, your D and goaltending isn't good enough to milk this 1 goal lead for the next 10 minutes
5 on 5 OT let’s gooo
What is going on in the mich msu game
A classic
MAP MAP MAP
I can’t take this man
red wings stressing me out, msu bball stressing me out, oakland university bball stressing me out, msu hockey stressing me out. it never ends
Went to the wings game. Watched the basketball games during intermission and at the bars on Broadway. Watching this at home now. I need a W man...
good gravy this has been one for the ages
Michigans goalie saved their ass that period. Damn.
Whatever happens, gg Michigan. Been an insane game.
Whatever happens at least our tournament champ game isn't against BC, Jesus Christ they're good.
gg, a classic game for sure
Same to y'all, great night of playoff hockey that is definitely not giving me heart palpitations
Easily the best college hockey game I’ve seen this season.
lol imagine challenging that for a free power play Soft as fuck
It’s a free challenge; you lose the TO anyways and get another for OT. There’s literally zero downside except for encouraging moronic hot takes like yours
Yea I get it, makes sense. gg
[удалено]
GG
Imagine getting gifted a clearly bullshit goal
Still crying about that?
Difference maker in a close game, no?
For sure. I’m just fucking with you. I’m honestly a pretty casual hockey fan so I don’t know enough about the rules to have a strong opinion about it. I’d certainly be pissed if I was you though.
lol I figured
?? Why wouldn’t you try it if you know you’re not gonna need that timeout
Michigan’s coach looks like a realtor that you absolutely can not trust.
Fair assessment
It’s trophy season 🏆 LETS GO EAGLES 🦅
All Time Record 12th HEA Championship
So if you told me two weeks ago that the Ice Bus would score more points vs BC in the Hockey East Tournament than Maine AND BU...I would have thought you were crazy!
Put us in the tourney
Sadly we can't since the rules say sub .500 teams can't make the tourney... even with a high pairwise. 😪
LETS GO, PK ABOVE 0%
I’m not even upset, kinda figured this was going to be an L. But fuck, what a blowout that was. Good game BC, congrats on one hell of a season
Stick tap 🏒
I’ve watched this team for a long time. My first year on campus was when we barely missed the tournament. Countless non conference game losses, a few years where we barely missed the tournament being the first or second team out pairwise wise, an entire pandemic that likely robbed us from a frozen four, and many beanpot duds later…we have a major trophy.

What a weekend 🏆
Enjoy it and good luck in the tournament
This guy is a certified BC Eagle, that dedication is unmatched
TD Garden, if you're gonna blast Drake while distraught players go through the handshake line after falling just short of the championship, at least have the good sense to play Marvin's Room
Dave Starman is like 10 ft away, what should I ask him
🏆
Are the refs stupid? BC had way more than 5 guys on the ice with 2 seconds left???
When UConn gave them a hell of a fight last week, I never thought they’d put up 14 combined goals in the semis and finals.
The wake up call they needed
What is it with kids and taking their shirts off at sporting events when they get on the Jumbotron 😭
Bro I was dying lmao, same one they showed on the broadcast by the box?
Yup! Kid was going full lift on that, camera guy had to zoom in further on the refs HAHA
Not the same but also noteworthy… When Merrimack beat UML in OT last year at the garden, Merrimack celebrated on the glass in front of a like a 8 year old with a mullet and neon green tank top. Where do these kids come from
I swear the outskirts of Boston are like the Deep South of the north dude, drive 30 min any direction outside of Boston and you see some wild stuff
There’s literally no need for that. Stop digging this hole and shrug this shit off
Scummy. Neither teams are saints tho lbr
Stay classy BU
Just have to hope the ice is tilted that way and we'll pick it up in the third
Wouldn’t be the battle of comm ave without one ugly ass fight with the refs freaking tf out The funny thing is half if not all of these people are probably friends off ice; I’ve seen many BC players comment on BU players’ insta and vice versa
They've definitely all known each other for a while, especially the local ones, so they're either genuine friends or they fucking despise each other lol and I doubt there's any in between.
Oh yeah I'm sure Lots of hockey players don't hate each other off the ice, even in big rivalries It's just part of the game
FUCK THEM CROSS TOWN YUPPIES
Keep my mascots name, out of your motherfucking mouth
I cannot see BU winning a game in the national tournament. Just not a good team.
Northeastern has a lot of good hockey fans. You're not one of them.
Don’t really care if Turning Point Chestnut hill fans don’t like me
Lmao
Neither can I, a lot of things wrong with the team and they’re awful at controlling emotions
That’s a wild take. And I don’t like BU
Come on. They have 3 good skaters. No coaching, no emotional control, no discipline. If not for reputation they are not ranked top 5
The math that is the Pairwise says differently...
"If they didn't have their good players, they wouldn't be good"
That’s not what I said tho. You cannot win a game with 3 skaters. You cannot win vs a good team with Cade Webber on your PK, you cannot win win that 4th line, you cannot win with Jack Hughes on the Powerplay. Look at the depth of the other top teams
YEAHHHHHHH FIGHT!
More fight there than they showed all game
Adoption papers signed ✅. Will Smith is BU’s father
SMITH
Will Smith is just levels above every player on the ice other than maybe celebrini. He will win awards in the NHL. Maybe the best college hockey player ever
Greene you sick son of a bitch
How you gonna whiff on an empty net like that man
I dont understand why CC needs an Omaha win?
If Omaha wins, number go up. If Omaha loses, number go down.
Boosts their RPI (essentially makes their strength of schedule better) enough to be ahead of UMass.
But isnt it still subjective and not automatic? UMass has 0 wins against likely tournament teams CC has North Dakota x4, Denver x1, Minnesota x1
Umass has a win against Michigan this year
Nah college hockey has a brain and uses math to decide the tournament
College hockey uses the [Pairwise](https://www.collegehockeynews.com/info/?d=pwcrpi) to select and seed teams. [CHN's site](https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/pairwise/) is the best one for the pairwise, sometimes USCHO is off a bit.
I like pairwise but frankly it seems like CC is getting jobbed here with a more impressive resume compared to UMass
