It’s official. The men’s hockey Buckeyes are headed back to the NCAA tournament. Ohio State will be the No. 3 seed in the West Regional in Fargo, ND. The Scarlet and Gray square off with No. 2 seed Denver in the opening round.
Ohio State and Denver are eerily similar teams on paper. Both have a core of quality scorers. Both boast a pair of capable netminders. Statistically, the comparison is about as close to a draw as you can get. OSU has experience on its side. Denver has a little more scoring. This should be a really entertaining hockey game.
