long time since a team with a first round pick has won an NCAA title. DU had none, so that streak appears to be intact. They do have a dozen NHL picks though, including four 2nd round selections, so it isn't like their roster looks like it belongs in Atlantic Hockey.
The BC team that beat Notre Dame in 2008 had one 1st round pick, Nick Petracki. His NHL career lasted all of 1 game.
Defenseman Zeev Buium (who made the all-tournament team) has not been through the draft yet, so it's possible for DU to have a first round pick after the fact.
I'm not sure where he's projected to be selected.
has him as a top-4 North American skater and he'll probably be selected in the first half of the first round.
Denver absolutely benefited from loosely-called games. It kept BU's #3 power play off the ice, and gave them a more free reign to play a slow and tight-checking game against BC. There was a lot let go in the first game; I didn't see a ton that was left in the second, but there was a clear hold in front of me which wasn't called.
