00:00But he's very disappointed in Denver.
00:03They lost in double overtime last night to Western Michigan.
00:05They'll meet BU in the Frozen final on Saturday.
00:11What did you think of that great hockey game, double overtime?
00:14You got the Canucks right as well.
00:16Nice call on that win last night in Roto.
00:19I'll tell you what, Scott.
00:20That Western Michigan-Denver game was legit one of the best hockey games
00:24I've seen this year.
00:25It was like Four Nations face-off type of stuff.
00:28The intensity, a spot on the line in the national championship game.
00:33Denver, the defending champions.
00:35And Western Michigan beat Denver.
00:38It's kind of strange in college hockey, guys.
00:40You can't, like, the conferences are kind of different.
00:43They're all over the place.
00:44So, like, you know, Western Michigan is not a MAAC team.
00:47They play in the same conference with the Denver Pioneers.
00:49It's like an elite conference of teams.
00:51And they beat Denver in their conference tournament, Scott,
00:56in double overtime, 4-3.
00:58And, you know, you and I talked about Boston University.
01:01So, we got that one right.
01:02You know, we get the split.
01:03I hit the under.
01:04I went 2-1 with the college hockey yesterday.
01:06But watching the game, Scott, I don't know if I can get in front of this
01:10Western Michigan team tomorrow.
01:12Like, I saw Andrew Raycroft, who's one of the analysts on the college hockey coverage,
01:17just saying, you know, this is a team of destiny.
01:20I know it's cheesy, you know, but the players start to buy in, bro.
01:23You win a couple of games at double overtime like this against Denver.
01:27And Western Michigan are just unstoppable right now.
01:30That game's going to be a lot of fun.
01:31I'll get the odds up right now.
01:32They didn't have a number posted last night for it.
01:35But really, really good hockey game.
01:37Do you think you took it out of them playing double overtime that they got to turn around
01:41and play Saturday?
01:42No problem.
01:43They're young.
01:44No, I don't think so.
01:46I don't think so.
01:47The only thing is, it's the emotional sort of, sort of like basketball, Scott.
01:51You just knocked off the defending champion, bro.
01:53You brought it up earlier in the week, Houston Duke.
01:56You know what I mean?
01:57That's my only concern.
01:58It's like, all right, you guys just beat the Pioneers twice.
02:01Are you going to be able to roll on?
02:03But, you know, they're playing so well.
02:05They're so fast.
02:06This is like the eyeball test for me watching both games yesterday.
02:10Like, the first game, the Boston kind of stifled Penn State last night.
02:15It was more of a slower type of pro-style hockey game.
02:20Dude, the Denver, like Western Michigan, I think they had 50 shots on goal, Scott.
02:25Like, after the first overtime, the goalie was up to like 47 saves
02:29or something like that on Denver.
02:31Like, he could only do so much.
02:32And then finally they buried him.
02:34But the odds makers agree, bro.
02:36Look, the game is basically a pickup.
02:38Boston University, minus 120.
02:40Western Michigan, minus 110.
02:43Total five and a half.
02:45And it's one of these classic instances, guys,
02:47where Western Michigan's never been this far before.
02:50They've never made it to the Frozen Four,
02:52let alone the National Championship game.
02:54Boston University, big-time pedigree.
02:56But they've been in three of the last four Frozen Fours
02:59and didn't make it to the final either.
03:01So something's got to give here.
03:02But just the way this Western Michigan team is playing, Scott,
03:05I'm going to go with the Broncos tomorrow.
03:07Yeah, listen, I feel like I totally respect that.
03:11I like BU based on that they keep going and falling short.
03:15Now they finally are there.
03:17Finish it off.
03:18Get it done.
03:19Win the title.
03:21And try to take advantage of this team that just played two overtimes
03:24and then has a day to rest.
03:26And BU means business.
03:28I mean, they're there for a reason.
03:30They're a really good team.
03:30I think it's going to be a great game.
