Boston College defeated the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame 4-1 to win the National Championship. It was BC third trip to the Championship game in the last three years. they lost to Wisconsin in 2006 and to Michigan State last year. Nathan Gerbe had another outstanding game adding two goals and had two assists. Notre Dame got robbed in the third period when it was 3-1 at the time. They scored to make it 3-2 after the puck deflected off a Notre Dame player’s foot. After a long review, the goal was disallowed. 35 seconds later BC went up 4-1. It was clearly not kicked in the net. That changed the entire momentum of the game. Either way it was a great game.
Nathan Gerbe (BC) is an exciting player to watch. He was named the Most Outstanding Player ofthe Tournament. His performance could get him the final forward spot on Team USA for the World Championships. John Muse Boston College’s freshman goalie was named to the All-Tournament Team. He played in every game this season. This was the same kid who thought he was going to spend the year with the Indiana Ice of the USHL this season. That all changed when Cory Schneider signed wit the Vancouver Canucks. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets drafted this summer.
Congratulations to Michigan forward to Kevin Porter who beat out Nathan Gerbe and Miami (Oh) forward Ryan Jones to win the Hobey Baker Award. The Hobey Baker Award is the Heisman Award for hockey. Porter is a Phoenix Coyotes draft pick and had 63 points including 33 goals.
That's My Take
