The Frozen Four in Tampa, Florida is all set with Boston College taking on Quinnipiac in the early game and Denver facing off with North Dakota the other semi-final game today. Unfortunately, the Bulldogs were unable to get by Boston College to get to the Frozen Four. The Bulldogs came close but ran out of time. Fans of the NCHC are happy though knowing that at least one team from the conference will be in the championship game.
This years final four teams seems to be so well matched that any of the four could win the tournament in my opinion. Quinnipiac looked like they cruised in their two wins. I thought Northeastern would remain hot, but the Fighting Hawks quickly extinguished that fire. The Fighting Hawks looked great in Cincinnati. Denver played 200 foot hockey in both games and looked strong. Denver did look beatable against Ferris State for much of the game but finally ran away with the win. Boston College played good against UMD but of the four teams appeared to have the hardest time getting into the Frozen Four.
My pick for the Championship will continue to be Quinnipiac. I am going with my gut which is telling me that Denver will beat North Dakota this time on neutral ice as this game has a lot more mean than the 3rd place NCHC game did in Minneapolis.
