Quinnipiac vs. Michigan: 2023 NCAA Frozen Four semifinal highlights 

He was def exposed this game....Ouch

😂

He made good saves during of the first but rebound recovery is a huge weakness

Q is mostly foreign and a professional foreign team at that. So much for "collegiate"...........

Congratulations Quinnipac. Saturday’s game will be fun. Go Gophers

It’s not even Michigans fault they are playing 25 year olds and they are all only 17-20

Banking, and "throw it at the net" shots are lucky....but that's the game.

He did lose it for Michigan, but not due to his aggressiveness, but his lack thereof. Standing their like a statue with your back turned to the puck doesnt seem like a good defensive strategy.

I think QP was the better team.

@@johngalt6838 he wasn’t even on his post for the first one didn’t even make an effort to get over😂

Portillo let in a couple weak goals but made a lot of good saves as well. I didn’t see Qpac giving up any breakaways or 2 on 1s. Even if Portillo had saved the bad ones it most likely would have ended the same way. Qpac had a shit ton of breakaways and 2 on 1s. Michigan just played shit defense all night they were gonna lose eventually

When the puck is behind the net, you can't be out and give them a target of your back or other area to bounce one in. He has a real weakness there.

Luckily the Sabres woke up and shipped him out! Welcome to the Sabres Levi!!!

He really is. I’m amazed he’s playing d1

They are......you kind of throw it at the net and hope it goes in.

I wouldn’t really call the first one blind luck that was a intentional bank shot And it was good

Michigan was the better team? Were we watching the same game?

@@AJ13688 3 shitty goals. If Portillo was any other goalie it would have been 3-1

I don’t have stats to reference exact numbers, but I guarantee Quinnipiac had way more offensive zone time than Michigan. Changing the goalie fixes nothing until they address their defense. I cannot believe the amount of odd-man rushes and breakaways Michigan allowed. If you want to live in fantasy land and believe Michigan wins this game 3-1 if Portillo is not in net be my guest, but the lack of defense and the incredible Quinnipiac offense would still be there. Plus, if you watch Quinnipiac’s postgame press conference you can tell from the coach’s comments just how much they prepared for this game, so I’d fully expect Quinnipiac to change their game plan if Michigan had a different starting goaltender. Just like their football team back on New Year’s Eve, Michigan was out-prepared and outcoached. Once Michigan gets past their cockiness and actually starts preparing for these “lesser” teams maybe they can win some national championships. Until that happens I’ll keep enjoying their choking in important games.

lol

We can't seem to get it done......same thing every year. Load up with great players, make the frozen four, and get eliminated.

@John Galt having 12 freshmen going up against experienced, older teams plays a factor too.. you could tell Michigan was way more loose with the puck vs Quinnipiac, little lapses in discipline make all the difference.. also a side note, the one game elimination format is absolutely ridiculous for hockey

@@aaha100 Agreed....but you have to win at least one of those years....c'mon. Can't finish in football, basketball, baseball, or hockey.

@@toddjohnson271we were able to finish in football this season :)

Nah....UM beat Penn State

We did it in baseball too......super strong but we can't finish.

Michigan does excel at that

Yes, they’ve never won an NCAA Championship, but they’ve consistently made the NCAA tournament in recent years and were finalists in 2013 and 2016.

Warde Manuel does need to be fired, and so does J. Howard, but its due to ineptness on the job.
