irish vs denver in frozen four game thread

[coolirish9]

haven't seen Denver play this season but have heard that they play really great defense. one key to me is Peterson has to play great in the net and not struggle with giving up rebound goals which is what he struggles with the most from time to time. game comes on at 9:30 on espn2

Denver is by far the best overall team in the nation. It's going to take a heroic effort tonight.

What kind of school is Denver? They seem to have great LAX and hockey teams. Do they play any other sports?

minn just beat Harvard who was favored and who was the nation's highest scoring team this year. point is that if you get to the frozen four it is because you are one of the best four teams in the nation and can play with anybody and our irish can

So far it doesn't look good. Denver is sure outshooting us.

That looked easy

Not much offense for ND thus far. It looks like they are struggling to keep up with the speed and skill of Denver.

The Denver Goaltender might be passed out from boardem.

I think they still have a D1 basketball program. Before all of the realignment they played in the Sun Belt. They are dominant for sure in hockey and lacrosse.

Um, no. They can't. I'm still hoping ND can bring home a national title someday in a major sport. They're so close. The drought needs to go away.

Hopefully it won't be a blowout but not looking good for the Irish...

our irish just can't handle Denver's speed right now. thought they had a chance but it'll be tough coming back against this team down 2-0

4-0 Denver, with a little over half the game played. Denver is good!

Looks like season is over for ND.

Can we just bomb that crappy school from Colorado

Men against boys, but arrow pointing up.

Hey Michigan fan, if the Irish would have been leading Denver, would you have posted the score?

How did Michigan hockey do this year? Never mind, googled (13-19-3).

I love when Michigan has a crappy year in any sport

We always have the Fencing program which gave the school a NC. Please don't overlook that accomplishment. As with all our student-athletes, those young people worked hard and it paid off big time. Congrats to the Hockey and Fencing programs.
