National Champions 2021!!!
Re: 2021 HE and NCAA Playoffs
Definitely just became a lot harder, but this team can win one game without their top goal scorer and starting goalie. On many nights, Murray is not a #2 to anyone; and we have a tremendous defensive and team structure. Prior to the breakout at the Regionals, Gicewicz was scoreless in the three Hockey East playoff games (4 shots on goal), and UMass won those collectively 10-3.
It will be harder, and require a total group effort; but I still believe this team can win.

I put the over-under on amount of games watched this season for anyone saying this is game over at roughly 3.5.
UMass Football: 22-3 at home when I was a student.
Leave the A-10!

I’ll take the under.
Who do you think carvel moves up to play with Chau and Gaudet? I would like to see the Lopina line stay together since they are pretty much 1B
Re: 2021 HE and NCAA Playoffs
I don’t know much about hockey but I agree about keeping the Lopina line together.
Whole thing just sucks !!! Should be able to test day of game ,if negative there is no way they are shedding any virus , even if they test positive days later.

Re: 2021 HE and NCAA Playoffs
For anyone looking at going last minute:
- Kayak has some decent flight deals... you can go from Boston to Pittsburgh on Thursday and return Sunday in the $200s, depending on the timing and other preferences you may have (YMMV)
- The NCAA Frozen Four site is now selling what remains of their limited tickets in pairs, rather than lots of 4s as they were last week. Both lower and upper sections are available and the price is for both games
Good luck!

Re: 2021 HE and NCAA Playoffs
lets go boys!!! definitely a challenge tonight. Sometimes adversity can bring a team together. All the cliches. This is a solid team and can rise to the occasion. I do think the contact tracing is an extreme policy especially when they have tested negative and continue to test negative. Carvel is amazing and will have these guys believing!! Thought Barry Melrose was off the wall during the regional weekend. LOL bring Barry into locker room to give the kids a talk. I know the cherry is the championship but this group has done something super special over the past few years. Super proud of them

UMD has a 10 game winning streak in the NCAA tournament. It is time for that streak to end.

2021 NCAA Frozen Four: Bulldogs will be without goaltender Ryan Fanti Thursday vs. UMass due to COVID-19 protocols.
Fanti did not make the trip to Pittsburgh.
Everyone else at UMD has been cleared after three rounds of testing.
(Fanti has been in net for all three of their NCAA games.)
