Frozen Four Title Game

Submitted by thereverend on April 4th, 2023 at 5:50 PM

I was hoping to go to the semi-final, but prices are through the roof. The championship tickets are a little more agreeable. That being said, for those well-versed in Michigan hockey, what are the chances that they make it?

UM is favored but realistically it’s like 50/50.  Quinn iliac is very disciplined and good.  Plus so much randomness is college hockey.  But think about this this way, would it be worth it to you to buy and then take the loss on the ticket if UM doesn’t make it?

Exactly this. 

Do I think Quinnipiac is overrated?  Yes, but they are certainly a very good team and capable of a win against a more talented team in single elimination hockey.  Their 4-1 win over OSU was much closer than the score indicated.  It was a 2-1 game from the first period all the way until 4 or so minutes left when Quinnipiac scored on the PP off of a fortunate bounce and incredible individual effort... then they added an EN goal.  The 3 non EN goals were all rebound goals off of fortunate bounces which concerns me as Portillo has struggled at times with rebound control, and Michigan often gets caught playing sloppy in front of their net.  For the past 25 years the hockey gods pendulum on lucky bounces always swings to Michigan's opponents in the frozen four... so I guess we're due?  

tl;dr - who the fuck knows.

Sorry to thread jack but I have some money to invest but I don’t want to invest in things that lose money, I want to invest it in things that make lots of money.

What are the best things to invest in to make lots of money?

I’ll hang and listen

when I go to ticketmaster, I am seeing tickets below $100 which I certainly don't consider through the roof but I guess we have our own definition of what the roof is.  I am also seeing similar prices for the semi as the final.  What prices are you seeing for the final?

As an alternative, there's always Saint Petersburg and the A's @ Rays game (which I will be at, I booked the Tampa trip hoping PSU would be there but instead I'll just visit the beach & friends and see my 28th MLB ballpark)!

Tickets are VERY cheap for that one!

Sounds like a classic offense (M) vs. defense matchup (Q).  Should be a good one!  I realize that didn't even really address your question whatsoever but, the more you know...
