In the first two regional finals of the NCAA Men’s Hockey Tournament, two storied programs came out on top in a couple of fantastic games, punching their tickets to St. Paul on Saturday.While the dominant Denver offense was limited for the second time in this tournament, they did enough on Saturday against Cornell. Thanks to a couple of key saves late, they advanced to the Frozen Four with a 2-1 win.
The second period was very even, as Cornell did a great job of limiting the country’s most potent offensive attack. However, a penalty late in the period by the Big Red ended up coming back to bite them, as Detroit Red Wings draft pick Shai Buium took a point shot that looked to have been stopped by Cornell netminder Ian Shane.
DU is heading to the Frozen Four for the first time since winning the national championship two years ago, and the team is looking to win a record 10th national title in St. Paul.In a rematch of last year’s national semifinal, the Boston Terriers were hungry to put their demons to bed on Saturday night. They did so by eliminating the Minnesota Golden Gophers with a 6-3 win.
Late in the period, Philadelphia Flyers prospect Bryce Brodzinksi ripped a shot over the shoulder of BU netminder Mathieu Caron for his 14th goal of the season. However, the Gophers’ lead was quickly cut in half just 14 seconds later. Quinn Hutson put a weak shot toward the Minnesota goal, but the puck was misplayed by Justin Close, sneaking by the Gopher netminder to make it a 2-1 game after one.
