Dumb!

[Norcal]

Power nice rush 

[Carmel Corn]

Bad call....looked like a lot of embellishment and clamping of the stick by the Denver player.

[Norcal]

Need a shortie right now

[Norcal]

Blue workin hard on the kill 

[ubkev]

Yo, the Sabres would ***** crush both of these teams.

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.

You captured what makes Power such an elite prospect. There's an intelligence and positioning adroitness that can't be taught. As a youngster he plays like he is a veteran. His teammate, Hughes, has much more offensive flash to his game. But as an NHL player Power is going to be a player who anchors the blueline. The Sabres/GM made the right decision to select him. 

[Norcal]

Denver is all over em 

[Carmel Corn]

Michigan seems out of sync since the PK's.  They should just play for the end of regulation and regroup during the intermission and overtime.

If they can get there 

[Norcal]

What if Power got to that puck before the buzzer.....

[Jävə Keith]

Intense OT

[Norcal]

Hughes had the game on his stick

[bobs0108]

Good game welcome to Buffalo Owen Michigan loses

[Norcal]

Lets GO Gophers!!!!!

[pi2000]

Denver was was the better team and deserved to win. 

[Jävə Keith]

Heartbreaking loss.

Time to heal those wounds and turn pro tomorrow.

[Carmel Corn]

So what does Portillo do now?  Devon Levi II or turn pro?

[thewookie1]

Denver was a hair better but Michigan got jobbed by the refs. 0 PP opportunities... seriously when they gave Denver 3 of them?!?

He's got an AHL salary and a few weeks of NHL salary during a callup next season waiting for him. If he's the first to sign, then he's the first in line to supplant UPL.

With all those high draft choices, that’s hard to believe.

Hopefully work on not giving up rebounds like that.

Not really. Michigan was a lot like the Leafs. A lot of big names but Pearson never instilled a defensive system. In a one and done tournament, defensive teams that can lock it down usually fare better.

I mean it went to OT, one bounce either way could end it and 3 Michigan  forwards over skate the puck at their own blue line and the game is over seconds later.

Beniers and Johnson were basically invisible in 3rd and OT. 

Brisson had one chance. They couldn't get any sustained offense going. 

Denver was hard to play against
