[GDT] NCAA Finals; Providence (Jankowski, Gillies, Gilmour) vs Boston (Hickey) 5:30 - TSN2

[868904]

I want to see Jankowski play his great 200 foot game and put up a ppg. He's still a really young kid with a late birthday. He's not done developing in college yet. Put up the points and do all the other great things and then he's ready for the next step.

I think the Flames have really started to do their homework on character after the whole Erixon thing. I don't think Jankowski will pull a Schultz, even if he explodes offensively next year.

[The Original FFIV]

Mods, how about a poll? Should Jankowski return for his senior year or turn pro? Going to be a lull with no games tomorrow and playoffs not starting until Wednesday? We will need something to argue about in the meantime.

I like that they cut up the net like they do in the basketball tournament.

I guess the Bruins won't be needing it.

Nate Leaman on Jon Gillies: 'He's our Eichel.'

I wonder if Burke was in Boston watching his alma mater win its first championship.

They mentioned during the broadcast that he was watching it in Toronto

At the start of the third, they said they received a text from him that he was watching the broadcast from Toronto.

Wow.

Edit:

This pic is from the goal he got in the semi's, great look at the back of his helmet

That's so awesome! We used to do the same thing in Tyke (the only time it should be acceptable to put stickers on a hockey helmet)

No. They showed the replay numerous times (including frame-by-frame), and it sneaked between Gillies and the post.

Gillies on the big save with a minute left...

“I initially thought it went in,” Gillies said. “I didn’t feel anything and no one reacted. Then I saw the puck over there [near the corner of the goal crease] and I was like, ‘Time to dive.’ That’s when being 6-[foot]-6 helps out a little bit.”

Looks like winning the Championship has put John Gilmour on the path to becoming the Joker from Batman:

What the? Reading all the posts, I thought he was killing it in the faceoff department. Haha, just people seeing what they want to see. No doubt Janko played well though, still have hope for him.

I always laugh at how lousy the NCAA makes their championship trophies

Well they don't have enough money to pay the players so obviously they can't afford nice trophies

also surprised to see his FO stats from yesterday, thought he did better. FWIW he won 58 percent over the whole season.
