[GDT] NCAA Frozen Four Semifinals; Providence Friars 3PM - Boston U 6:30PM - TSN 2

[getbak]

Omaha scores, but Providence gets it right back.

Nice.

[Red Menace]

Great play Janko!

[dieHARDflameZ]

Hmmm nice play and beautiful pass by Jankowski for the goal!

How some posters continue to write him off prior to him even turning pro is beyond me... The kid can play, plain and simple.

[GranteedEV]

Is Jankowski 30lbs away from being the next Anze Kopitar?

[MrMastodonFarm]

What a pass what a pass.

[Red Menace]

Janko Unchained!

And you can probably point to the previous two games as well, where Jankowski walked away with only 1 point, but was superb.

Eh, not brushing it aside completely, but Omaha had a pretty easy path to the Frozen four. RIT who they had to defeat to get here was the 38th ranked team in the country according to pairwise. That is the thing with one and done tournaments, bad teams sometimes get far.

And yes, I was singing Jankowski praises the last two games.

Three years ago, Gaudreau made his name known on a national stage at the Frozen Four. This might be the same for Janko.


I wonder if Treliving might be sending two entry-level contracts to Boston this weekend?

[Roof-Daddy]

Heh, at this rate Flames fans are going to be more worried about Janko deciding to go UFA after his senior year, as opposed to being worried about him busting.

(If he goes back for his senior year)

I've heard good things about Jankowski, but it's cool to see him playing so well on a big stage. I'm sure Oiler fans are probably punching their flat screens right now.

Omaha's coach looks like David Letterman.

or three ... depending on how many of their AHL defensemen they bring back next year, there might even be a spot for Gilmour. It's a long shot, but you never know.

[getbak]

4-1!

Great game. Let's hope tonight's is just as good.

[sureLoss]

Finals for the Friars!

Face the winner of BU vs UND on Saturday at 5:30pm ET

Gillies signing will be April 11 at the earliest!

[dammage79]

Providence going to the Finals. Great games by Janko and Gillies.

You know how it is here in CP. When a poster hates the player no matter what he does, he is still a bum. A lot of posters here does not like Feaster drafting Jankowski ahead of the player they wanted so he is a bust forever.

I am for one, I am loving how he develops and how he is growing. I wouldn't even mind it if he sticks with Providence in his senior year.

Friars is going to the championship Saturday wooohooo!!

[Moneyhands23]

Yes!!!!! Love it!!!!

[devo22]

yay!

Playing physical like Colborne? I'm a fan of his, but Colborne doesn't exactly epitomize a physical player. Hopefully our prospects aspire to more physicality than that.

Hickey and Boston University up next!
