2014 Frozen Four Tournament (and conference championships)

[sureLoss]

Sigh... Stephen Johns doing everything for Notre Dame. Chicago got another good one.

[Scoutski]

And LA have Brodzinski from St Cloud, he is the only really notable forward this game for them. Those teams do some serious drafting...

EDIT: LA also have Nic Dowd... the guy who just scored the game winner -.-

[Vulcan]

So Notre Dame is out, good.

[Alberta_Beef]

According to the Boston College website Arnold is now only credited with 3 points yesterday, he originally had 1 goal and 4 assists, but 2 of the assists have been taken away.

[GreenLantern]

Billy Arnold is like Batman, he doesn't do what he does for the recognition. He does it because the world needs heroes.

No game today? When in the next BC game?

Today at 3PM Mountain

Hopefully BC loses. If not we won't see Arnold and Gaudreau after the Frozen Four April 10th or 12th.

[Calgary Highlander]

I want to see Gaudreau / Arnold win an NCAA championship. I want our prospects to be winners and be able to draw on an championship experience that they were the main part of. Hoping that they lose so they can rush to the NHL is Oiler-esque thinking. Gaudreau won't suddenly have a better career because he played in some meaningless games to close out the season. If he has the ability to become an NHL player, he'll get there. And if he doesn't, a 5 game look-see won't make a difference (see Cundari, Aliu, and - to a lesser extent - Hanowski).

[8sPOT]

That's true. But I'm selfish, I want to see them right now, I want to see them in Flames colours. Me, me, me!

[jg13]

This could happen in the next couple days.

Does anybody know if there is a way to watch the BC game online (legally)?

Assuming you're in Canada, if you subscribe to TSN and have either Bell or Rogers as your cable provider, it should be on TSN-GO.

Otherwise...It is airing on ESPN-U in the US. Do with that information what you will.

[FlameZilla]

As much as I'd like to see those 2 on the Flames this season I'm still rooting for BC to win.

[sureLoss]

Looking forward to the Gaudreau show beginning in a few minutes.

[dammage79]

ESPNU again?

[J epworth]

I'm rooting for BC to win, but honestly I think UMass-Lowell takes this. They just match up well with BC, much like Notre-Dame did in the Conference playoffs.

Well, they've both won an NCAA championship, so that's been done.

It's not Oiler-esque thinking at all. These won't be meaningless games down the stretch for these players, these game be meaningless learning games for guys like Agostino, Van Brabant, Arnold and Gaudreau. It could be an eye opening experience. I don't know what Cundari and Aliu have to do with it, I am sure getting games in the NHL towards the NHL was good for them but no it won't be a make or break situation.

The experience seemed good for Hanowski, he knew what a change was for him and gave him a leg up coming into training camp. He knew what the NHL was before fall 2013.

[AC]

The game is under way.

Best case for a greedy Flames fan is a 7-6 loss with Gaudreau and Arnold tearing it up again?

[Lanny_McDonald]

Gaudreau makes two solid passes to Hayes in the early going but the big man fans on one in the slot and loses the puck just over the blueline on the other.
