Though it took three games in some, and a few overtimes, the higher seeds prevailed in all but one weekend playoff series.
Hosts Jim Connelly and Ed Trefzger look at the first round in Atlantic Hockey, Big Ten, ECAC Hockey, and WCHA, as well as the final weekend in the NCHC and Hockey East. Also of note: a couple of pro signings, some controversial replay, and some attendance questions.
This episode is sponsored by the NCAA men’s ice hockey Frozen Four in Buffalo, N.Y., April 11 and 13: ncaa.com/frozenfour
