Yeah, we protected the lead very well once we got it. The third period ... especially the last ten minutes, we were airtight.
My point is there was puck luck that got us to that point.
That was the least dominating 3 to 0 .... Oops 3 to 1 .... Win I have seen all year.
Hope we didn't use all our puck luck tonight.
Or maybe the hockey gods realized we got the shaft last weekend and smiled upon us.
Either way I will take it.
Now, anything less than a sweep is unexceptable.
I can think of 1.1 billion reasons the Big Ten took in Johns Hopkins.

Minnesota and North Dakota are represented. And I am 100% sure Minnesota would rather be anywhere but Fargo. Put 2+2 together and I would wager two pints that Minnesota goes somewhere else.
This is all moot since Wisconsin will get the Big Easy's Ten's autobid by winning the conference tournament.
