Gerbe, Eagles fly a mile high for NCAA title

Congratulations to Sabres prospects Nathan Gerbe and Andrew Orpik who get to celebrate an NCAA Championship with a 4-1 win over Notre Dame. With a pair of goals and assists in the final, Gerbe powered his way to a total of eight points at the Frozen Four in Denver en route to being named tourney Most Outstanding Player. He ends his junior season with 35 goals and 33 assists in 43 games. The title is the third in Boston College history, and the program's first since 2001. Both Gerbe and Orpik were part of two national runners-up in 2006 and 2007 before tonight's big win.
