GDT: 2022 Frozen Four -- Thurs. April 7, 5:00 PM & 8:30 PM, ESPN2/ESPNU

Wolverine woot!

Great goal by Lambert.

All tied up

[Jävə Keith]

Love Portillo's vocal leadership - skating over to the bench during break to speak directly to the team, inspiring & giving strategic insight.

[freester]

Portillo keeps giving up juicy rebounds. Power needs to hit someone.

He does need to get more physical/better on the boards. Nothing some NHL strength conditioning can't fix though.

[WildCard]

Power reminds me a lot of early Dahlin. The offense is there, the defense is just a lot of reaching with the stock and sun-par board play. Nice to have Dahlin show him how to improve on that.

Power may not be very physical at this stage, but he’s consistent in making the smart play with the puck. Plays with a ton of poise.

[nfreeman]

Portillo mis-played the puck behind the net on the goal against in the 1st, and gave up too many rebounds in the 1st, but played pretty well in the 2nd.

Granddaughter finally asleep. Watching third on mute. Go Blue!

And made up for it with that save.

Does Melrose actually know anything about hockey?

Power needs to step up

He called stamkos a bust so no.

Whatever he did know, he's forgotten

I feel like he hasn't been relevant for a least a decade...maybe longer.

Seriously, calling a goal on a rebound and a goal on a tip from a point shot the same thing is hilarious.

Gotta admit, Denver plays a great team system... really minimizing Michigan's quality opportunities.  Michigan may have more raw talent, but Denver is really fast and disciplined.  

TIE GAME

[bob_sauve28]

Nice! Wow 

[GASabresIUFAN]

Huge goal.  Really good game so far.

[Norcal]

Great block before the goal

One thing I liked is how easy his tall frame got down on a knee to block a pass and right back up. Not always easy for tall guys to get down and get leg flat on ice like that. 

[Carmel Corn]

There's something extra exciting about single-elimination playoff games...love the desperation as there is no tomorrow for one of these teams.

[Norcal]

Power 💪

[ubkev]

This 3rd period is fun as hell. 

And Denver has the best unis in college hockey, right now. Those are great.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Did you notice that Portillo covered the entire bottom of the net when doing the splits

[Norcal]

Portillo showing his length and flexibility there

Yep

[bob_sauve28]

Well, that is a penalty
