Frozen Four is Set

The Frozen Four in Milwaukee, WI is all set. North Dakota will meet BC and Wisconsin will meet Maine to decide who will play for the National Championship.

The WI/Cornell game was a great battle of defenses and goalies. The Cornell goalie stopped over 60 shots in their 1-0 loss to Wisconsin (3 OT and the second longest game in NCAA Tournament history). It is behind great goaltending (Elliot) that Wisconsin should prevail in the NCAA Tournament. Maine is a goal scoring machine though so the big test is coming. Can Elliot make the stops when it counts? He sure did against Cornell. Elliot went 11 periods without letting a goal past. Maine has scored 11 goals while allowing 5 goals against and WI has scored 5 and let 0 past.

North Dakota will also be counting on Parise to stop everything thrown at him. BC is also another scoring juggernaut having placed 10 goals neatly in the back of opposing nets in two games and keeping both Miami and BU scoreless. North Dakota has also scored 10 goals in the first two games but Parise let 3 goals past him. This is going to be fun to watch!
