2023 Frozen Four

[Trotsky]

SOG 13-1 Q in the third.  They tie it with the extra skater.

[Dunc]

All tied up going into OT!

WOW RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE

Q won it 3-2 in OT

Someone should make sure Bearlover doesn't have access to sharp objects.

Transitive property, we're number 1, amirite?

I thought Q looked waaaaay better here than they did in the various ECAC games I saw them play.  Speed was remarkable and not what we saw against Cornell.  Does that mean we played them, better than Minnesota, are better coached?

We beat this year's champion and last year's champion. Not bad.

Seeing our rivals win national championships over and over before we even come close is painful, but it actually hurts less every time.

Shut them both out.

Half the league members have won it all now.

It takes a worldwide pandemic to stop us!  Seriously though, these games are all so razor's edge, you'd think one of these years by being in a position to win, we'll actually get over the top.  Since 2002, we've lost five regional finals and a national semifinal by one goal each.  Including two overtimes (one triple).  Oy.

If you say "rival" to mean "a strong team in the conference," sure. But I would rank that team near the bottom of our biggest rivalries, at least at the time of this writing.

Now if someone brings this post back up in 20 years, I'll happily reevaluate.

Quinnipiac (2023) joins Harvard (1989) and Yale (2013) as the only ECAC teams to win the NCAA's without also winning the league tournament. (1954 doesn't count since there was no ECAC for Ned's RPI to win.)

Q and Y have as many national titles as they do Whitelaws.

Funny world.

i'm sorry if you can't enjoy the gophers losing 10 seconds into OT what are you even doing rooting for any school that isn't minnesota

RPI tied SLU for the Tri-State League Championship in 1954. https://sports-chronicles.com/tslh/pages/champions
