There were a ton of meaningful hockey games on Thursday, leading to even bigger ones on Saturday ... and not just in the NHL.
The NCAA’s Frozen Four is now whittled down to Saturday’s ice hockey national championship game, as Quinnipiac will take on North Dakota.
Quinnipiac did so by beating Boston College 3-2 while North Dakota defeated Denver 4-2.
To whet your appetite, here are some relevant images and GIFs:
