Denver Hockey commanded No. 1-seeded Boston College Hockey early on, taking the first two goals of the match late in the first and early in the second period.
Boston College would only be able to answer one of those, and despite a long battle in the third period, a Zeev Buium goal iced the game, sending Denver to the Frozen Four.
Despite shots, defends and big hits being traded consistently on both sides, this was Denver’s game throughout, as a frustrated BC Hockey couldn’t find answers when they needed them and fell 3-1.
Be sure to check out the full recap from Boston College vs. Denver Hockey below.

Time is running out for No. 1-seeded Boston College Hockey, but before the last few minutes, the officials have called a break to fix one of the goals.
The Eagles have controlled the puck this period, tallying up 12 shots attempts against Denver’s single attempt.
Only a few minutes left on the ice.

The second period is over, but not before the last few seconds witness even more big hits.
Both teams are sure to come out of the break with fire in their eyes, and a drive to end this.
