  • North Dakota, Notre Dame in Frozen Four

    North Dakota Crushes Another One, This Time it’s Denver, 6-1 Yesterday six goals by six different North Dakota players buried Denver and sent North Dakota to the Frozen Four.  It started out looking like much more of a contest.  In the first, the teams held each other off until fifteen minutes into the period when North Dakota’s…

  • UMD, Michigan to St. Paul; UNH over Miami

    What a weekend!  Three of the four top seeds are out, two of them in the first round.

  • Tigers Maul Eagles; Eagles Lay Rotten Egg

    For a little change of pace from the earlier defensive battles, how about a dozen goals, and a good, old-fashioned demolition on ice? Boston College scored only 19 seconds into the game, but was either too busy reading their own PR from that point on, or else Colorado College just stepped it up about six…

  • Minnesota Duluth, Michigan, Yale Advance

    UMD Comes Out on Top in Defensive Battle, Shuts Union Out 2-0 Minnesota-Duluth seemed to shake off its end of season lull today with a stout defensive performance, shutting out Union College 2-0.

  • NCAA’s Set: NDk/BC/Yale/Miami Top Seeds

      For the most part, the top ranked teams did what they were supposed to do, but there were a couple of real squeakers along the way.  With so many games that took place, I’ll just give the scores/outcomes of the conference championship games . . . Atlantic Hockey:  Air Force beat Holy Cross 3-2,…

  • Union, BU, UNO, All Out Of Tournaments

    Three upsets highlighted the first round of the Hockey East and WCHA tournaments, and the second round of the ECAC tournament.  Last week’s #4 Union lost two of three to Colgate, dropping Union to #9, and last week’s #12 Nebraska-Omaha was swept by Bemidji State, dropping UNO to #14; both teams will probably make it…

  • BC Sweeps UNH; St. Cloud Splits w/Denver

    The top story this week would have to be the sweep by #2 Boston College of last week’s #7 New Hampshire; it was a real show of strength by BC to end the regular season, shutting out UNH 4-0 in the first game, and winning the Hockey East regular season crown along the way.  BC…

  • Merrimack Monitored; St Cloud Traps Wisc

      Last weekend was another eventful one.  Right off the bat, last week’s #4 Merrimack ran into a buzz-saw called Maine, and was swept violently at the hands of the Black Bears; Maine scored eleven goals in two games, and surrendered only one.  Merrimack dropped to #9, and Maine rose from #16 to #14.  Elsewhere,…

  • BC Tangled Up In NU; North Dakota Now #1
