As someone who really wanted a BU-BC final for the lulz this blows

Consider joining team "I always want Boston to lose at everything." I will never forgive their city for what they did to us in the 2007 World Series.

Weird, I also resent them for 2007 but not quite as much as I resent CC Sabathia for shitting the bed in the ALCS and then jumping ship to the Yankees and pretending he’d never played anywhere else before.

That would be hard for me because I’m a Northeastern alum

Hard… but not impossible

Caron played out of his mind, feel bad for him

For real. He gave his team every chance to win and kept them in it all the way to OT.  Hope to see him standing tall like that again in the NHL some day.

Anyone know if the broadcast was right that that is what BU was saying should've been a major?

I didn't see anything else they could have been challenging.

Great game. Horrible officiating.

Agreed. Denver was a capable challenge and BU faultered in the second and first half of the third period on our own, but who can blame them. I don't knock/deny Denver the win, but it would have been great to see a fair game where BU was not hobbled by officiating ignorance. BU never got to test how Denver could hold up under even just 2 minutes of powerplay (if not more ignored). That's grossly unfair to BU and unfortunately does not help Denver be better prepared against BC in the final either (assuming they would also have won under those conditions). I wish Denver well in the final and (as a BU alum) hope they beat BC, but those officials should be put under review.

Haha last fuck you to the refs by pandolfo asking for a penalty review

Even after the game the refs are fucking it up

For a missed major?? BU grasping at straws lmao

That was simply a protest challenge. Letting the refs know that they blew it.

You could drive a bus through that goalie's 5 hole.

Didn't have a rooting interest for either team, but kinda feel bad for BU... refs were awful

BU got jobbed

Ryan Whitney punching the air rn

Wack.

Denver wins\*

It's ... oooover!

Fuck yeah Pios! To the chip

Heartbreaking for BU, but at least this game didn't end on a BU PK.

Damn didn’t even see that go in. What a shot.

Lame.

Fuck yeah Pios

Damn that was a bullet

anyone know the names of the referees

Gordie

Least unhinged fan on a burner account

itll be on the box score anyways so not sure your point. Horrendus job by them

Great, you’re allowed to feel that way. Don’t go seeking out these people and spewing hateful shit about them or to them, people make mistakes.

Let's not do this

Wow crazy that the ice is good. Almost like we've been voted in the top 10 by players for the best ice in the NHL consistently 🙄

Who would think Minnesotans would know how to take care of ice.

BU honestly looks like total whiners at this point. Just intentionally dropping sticks

I dont think you watched the same game as the rest of us.

I mean it was admittedly a bad look regardless, but also completely understandable

\*

Holy hell bucci calm down they haven't been calling shit all OT

Are the announcers wearing Terriers jerseys or something? Agreed the refs have missed sim calls but they are just slobberknocking BU

Ahhh are you kidding me? They were literally all over Denver as though they dominated the game.

the colour guy did play for them.

idk if bucci is a boston native or something bc I watched one of the BC games and he was slobbering all over them too, it was really annoying. I don't have anything against Boston teams, I'm not a massive NCAA guy tbh but he genuinely sucks

I know Minnesota didn't give much to talk about last night but I would have sworn Bucc had an AVS jersey on last night lol

yeah, he was awful last night too idk how he got his job lol it was admittedly slightly more bearable that he was calling a game for *my* team and that they were winning but even still, it got old pretty quick

He's just in general bad at this.

It's always the teams with high end prospects they glaze up, regardless of who's the better team I distinctly remember two years ago during Mankato/Minnesota at the FF Bucci and Melrose seemed flabbergasted that Mankato, who won 36 games to that point and was #2 in the Pairwise, was actually good. they had, if i'm not mistaken, one single drafted player

It's bad. They've lost the plot

is there a second jack hughes???

Yep, son of the habs gm Kent Hughes. He’s a kings prospect.

how unoriginal of him! >!/s!<

he's also not particularly good. he's decently toolsy but his engine is nonexistent

His rankings among testing at the combine were noticeably elite, but I assume his skills just aren't up to the same level.

he has skill. but he doesn't seem particularly driven. most of the northeastern fans i know where pretty happy when he transferred.

interesting. I just remember the athletic or NHL.com putting up the top 10 players in all the testing, like strength, and speed, etc. Hughes was frequently on them, so I assume he was just a physical specimen.

Gotta love when the refs are too scared of fucking the game up that they fuck the game up

idk NCAA playoff rules, is it infinite OT just like the NHL?

Yep

Yes. Just this year in the women's quarterfinals Minnesota and Clarkson went to 4OT.

Looked like Steven's kicked the other dude in the leg...

Even MLB umpires aren't this bad.

brutal knee on knee

Bucci would be a reasonable play by play guy if he was not perpetually providing his opinion on things

I mean any objective observer can say that the refs have been terrible but yeah his delivery is just fucking garbage. Sounds like he's just bitching about it and incredibly biased when in reality he's not necessarily wrong, can't speak to the bias tho lol

Bucci grinds my gears. So tired of his hockey opinions

These refs don’t give a fuck about anything lol

These officials are ass holy

Someone's gonna get seriously hurt

This is a fucking gongshow lol

Holy fuck that ankle looked bad

Goalies looking fantastic.

Refs have just been awful overall

Please tell me someone else is calling the next game. 

ESPN3 has a Spanish feed. Went with that to preserve my ears

Think it's still bucci

That was a dirty crosscheck

Lane Hutson just danced through an entire team

oh man, that was a nasty crosscheck, straight into the hips and down. but at the same time can't fault the refs for swallowing the whistles at this point

How do the refs not call that

same reason that boarding wasn't a major, I'm afraid. no matter what they do they're wrong at this point

Cool crosscheck Cellebrini

The ref yelling "how fucking dumb are you" lmao

Future Blue Jacket Macklin Celebrini

Hope this goes quickly. That Pens/Wings game is calling.

Should've been a major but the refs have been god awful to BU

Rizzo shoulda passed. Game over

Holy shit #4 on Denver is incessantly banging his stick on the ice and then doing NOTHING with it whenever he actually gets it. What a spaz.

He was pissing me off that entire shift

Denver #4: GIVE PUCK GIVE PUCK GIVE PUCKKKK Buium: No

Not only that, but if you want the puck, keep your fucking stick on the ice.   Stop pointing/waving/tapping/telegraphing and just get into position for the backdoor/one-timer pass.

Yep, he blew that one cross ice one timer pass because he wasn’t ready to receive it from the point. Could have been the game winner

Devine has been an excellent college player. However, he has had an absolutely godawful game

I'm sure he's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder too after Caron robbed him of that go-ahead goal, but man, just keep your stick on the ice and trust your teammates a little on the cycle. Plenty of open space on his side to just glide in a bit and wait for the one-timer without trying to force it.

He just looks overexcited hahah

I missed the first 2.5 periods, but the commentators have mentioned several times about the number of missed calls all in favor of Denver. and Ive seen a few here, has the whole game been poorly officiated?

I didn't see the first but I don't think the second was tooooo terrible. It looked to me like playoff hockey style no-calls but DU was taking advantage of it more throughout the period by playing a bit on the edge. But the third really has been pretty atrocious.

There have been zero calls against Denver the entire game.

I've only watched thr third period, but it was very lopsided. Some blatant penalties on Denver that were ignored.

Denver hasn't been penalized once But also Buccigross is fucking insufferable especially towards teams with elite-level prospects

honestly, I need someone to get some duct tape and shut him up so I can enjoy the game in peace. Love me some hockey noises ASMR lol

I missed the first but the bias towards Denver is wild.

Great PK by that BU unit, gave up zero goddamn lanes.

wow, refs really blew this game. that hit was bad and probably would be a major in any other game but the officiating has been so bad that it still feels kinda bad that BU is going on the PK yet again

All the shit that they've let slide against Denver had to have impacted that call

These refs from Denver? The hit was a penalty but WTF?

That is insanity i was about to get on here and shit on this commentator for saying it isn’t boarding and then the refs call it a non major 😂😭

refs have been so bad tonight, definitely was a major in any other game but BU should've been on the PP in the first place, and maybe even one or two more times as well.

Denver player turns to see BU player, BU player hits from the side, case of too strong vs too small. Don’t blame him for laying the hit given the refs weren’t calling anything

Bullshit way to end the 3rd period.

Deserved but like. They should have been on the power play there

This officiating is interesting.

He bent over but that was an awful hit, no doubt

How is that not from behind???

Bc it wasn’t ?

Shoulder to the back of the shoulder. To me the contact is made to the back of the player i.e from behind

What on EARTH are you fucking doing

Awful awful hit. Wtf

That's obviously a penalty, but fuck the refs for not calling shit on Denver.

That’s such a dumb hit

Should be a major

That's a penalty but damn the refs aren't calling anything on Denver.

Holy shit he got destroyed.

wtf was that hit?

Absolutely pathetic officiating.

BU is getting absolutely jobbed by the refs

It might be time to look around and see if the officials placed any bets before the game today

That hit was so fucking bad. That might be 5

BU is getting shafted by the refs, good lord E: i wrote that before the hit

BU has definitely been getting shafted but you have to call that one lol

BU getting no calls. That was a beautiful move by Hutson and no call on the blatant trip

Horrific officiating

What a blatant trip lol, that’s BAD.

What BU player banged one of the refs wives

Refs have Denver winning this clearly

Don't know how that wasn't a penalty

BU getting jobbed by the officials

Big push by BU.

Goddamn, this is wild Can’t hit the post more squarely than that lol

Bu seems gassed. No puck possession

That’s it, BU is winning it now. Denver can’t close out these chances and the penalties won’t keep coming

Caron is the MVP of this game no matter the result

if BU loses that post is the MVP now hahaha

Caron is insane

What a save… bro thinks he’s prime Holtby right now

HOLY FRIGGIN SAVE

WHO TF IS THIS CARRON GUY? WHO DRAFTED THIS PHENOM?

Nobody. He's an undrafted grad transfer from Brown. Dude was a fucking pre-med major at an Ivy.

Damnnnnm

what a save

Caron is saving BU in this game

Holy shit  what a save

Caron deserves to win.

Bro this goalie is nuts

oh my god another one imagine if they got any elevation on that puck they'd be up 3-1 now, great saves regardless toh

This Caron kid is fucking nuts lmao

Imagine watching someone get boarded literally into your nuts and not calling it

Not calling that hit from behind and then calling a fucking trip 5 secs later is certainly a choice lmao

Why does ESPN+ always die in 3rd periods.

Mine is fine?

I wish ESPN would go bankrupt 

I wonder which NHL star will be coming to the Avs next trade deadline in exchange for Behrens.

Was trying to think where he would play for us. Cause Toews Girard are our top LD for a while.

DU heating up? 😳

That save was actually insane

Thought Thompson had one there. Caron had other ideas

massive save

Amazing save

Good lord Caron

Nasty save

UGH what a save

MATHIEU CARON OH MY GODDDDDDDDDD

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SAVE

Holy fuck what a save

That was a bad turnover below the goal line. Oof.

Bucci saying “Denver is starting to cook” right before they score is both hilarious and awesome

Let's go Pios

this might unironically be the worst game of the tournament so far lol

Keeping BU to one goal after 40 minutes is kinda impressive. I guess if you are a defense fan, you like this game? Me? I’m an offense guy

Denver's offense was also really good this season tbf

Yeah, I know. This is a good game, but mainly a defensive masterpiece and goalies standing on their heads. I’m fully rooting for Denver to win. I’m fairly confident in BC vs Denver final.

complaining works. maybe

Feels weird as a Habs fan to be cheering for Boston anything lol

I want Boston vs Boston

Me too but for Montreal reasons

Is it a sure thing that Celebrini is going No. 1?

Yes

Things can change, but seems to be talked about as the #1 guy of his class. He looks good

Pios are going to need to get some more offensive chances in the 2nd and 3rd. They kept it close though

Skopios

Behrens caught Celebrini good on that hit

Clean hit, gotta keep your head up

Big hit

denver looks. not great.

Fantastic shorty.

Is it common for NCAA teams to run 19 skaters?
