edpaffjr.comAs I mentioned at the end of last week, we had tickets for the championship game of this years Frozen Four. We watched the earlier wins for both Boston College and Notre Dame, and knowing that this was Notre Dame’s first time in the Frozen Four, we were hoping they could go all the way.
The game was great and started off with an even match-up, though the Irish had to play physical to slow down a quicker and more talented Boston College team. Eventually the Eagles were too much and they climbed to a 2-0 lead. We thought that Notre Dame was going to bounce right back into the game, but the goal they scored was reviewed and later determined to be kicked in, thus negating the goal. You see, a goal can go in accidentally off of the foot, but it cannot be kicked in. Shortly after the decision was made by the official, BC snuck in another goal and went up 3-0. So instead of a close 2-1 game, we watched it become more and more one sided. The Irish did score eventually, but so did BC. Final score was 4-1, but we still really enjoyed the game despite the end result not being what we had hoped.
I think that overall the tournament did great things for the city of Denver. As the girl from Maine sitting next to me said, Denver was the best city she had visited for the tournament, and I’m sure others felt the same way. I’m sure she, along with her dad and loads of others in attendance, has been to her fair share of cities for the tournament. Up next year is Washington, D.C. Who wants to take a road trip?
