Some good stuff last night from the kids.
Sherbrooke were smoked 7-1, but the only bright spot was Roy’s 39th goal and 98th point. Nice shot!
Kidney had a goal and an assist. He now has 86 points.
Kapanen had a goal and two assists in a big 4-2 KalPa win as they tied up their best of five U20 final series at 1-1.

Looks like Smilanic will be moving schools. Interested. From what I read, Quinnipiac is heavily biased toward seniors and it wasn't likely that Smilanic (not being a senior) would be getting enough ice time to further his development as much as he would like. What I found interesting was that usually when you transfer schools, you have to red shirt, meaning you can't play the following year. That isn't the case with Smilanic (or what would be the point?). Some loophole or likewise.

Some loophole or likewise. That used to be the rule but it changed within the past couple of years. Athletes are now entitled to a one time exemption for school transfers. A second transfer would be subject to the redshirt sit-out year.

For a ninth time in history, Denver won the Frozen Four and national championships. That ties them with Michigan for tops overall. Stapley finishes his college career with a goal in the 5-1 win. Will they sign him or not?
In Finland, Kapanen had an assist, but they lost 4-2. The best of five finals are all even at two apiece. Winner takes all next game.

Sochi. That's not that far from Ukraine, is it? Might be a touchy spot to be when the counterattack starts.

Norlinder with two assists as Frölunda won its opening match of the SHL semis. He is heating it up in the post season as he has four points in five playoff games so far.
Olofsson added a goal in a losing cause, as Björklöven is now tied up at two games apiece in the Allsvenskan semis.

Guhle returned to the lineup last night as the Oul Kings opened their playoffs against Lethbridge. The big man had a primary PP assist in the 4-1 win, and it was the WHL highlight of the night.

The Bulldogs also opened their playoffs with a win, 5-2. Another big man, Xhekaj, scored the game’s first goal on the PP.
Vrbetic opened his playoff run in style. He had 26 saves in a 4-1 win, was the second star and also added an assist.
Sobolev was pointless in his first playoff action, but Windsor did win 3-0.

The QMJHL playoffs don’t start until May (last games are on May 1 as the league did shut down for a month and has some games to catch up on versus the other two leagues).
Roy scored his 44th, trailing Dufour by only one point in the scoring race. Sherbrooke lost 3-2 in a shootout to Acadie-Bathurst with Kidney assisting on both regulation time goals.
#12 with the nice primary assist here.
Simoneau had a pair of assists and Trudeau had one in their game.
