Miami Redhawks
Went to the semis yesterday for the Frozen Four with Dean. Watched Miami beat Bemiji State 4-1 and then had the pleasure of sitting with some BU students as they expressed their inferiority complex with BC as they played Vermont… I like it when the fans get into it as much as the next guy, but lets try and alter our chants when BC is nowhere to be found.
Anyway DCist has some photos up here.
So anyway we will be back this evening as Miami tries for their first ever national championship. Go Redhawks. Now NCAA, about some beer tonight…
How the RedHawks win:
They must do what Vermont and New Hampshire weren’t able to do before them. Both the Catamounts and Wildcats caught BU slacking for a period of play (each time in the second frame), and while they both capitalized on their chances, they weren’t able to stem the tide when Colin Wilson and company turned it back on. Miami needs to turn BU mistakes into goals, and, more importantly, stop the Terriers from doing the same to them, especially in the BU end of the ice.
“They’re the number one team in the country for a reason,” Miami coach Enrico Blasi said. “They have a d-core that jumps into the play all the time, they have a d-core that sometimes initiates the rush. They’re very big, strong, they possess the puck well. They’re obviously well coached. It’s going to be a big challenge tomorrow night. Their puck possession game is very similar to our puck possession game so it’s going to be an interesting night. At the end of the day you have to play and see what happens.”
