Over the course of their careers, you want to see if these kids can play dinged up. When it's a week before NCAAs though, it's a different calculus. I suppose winning two more games against the best NCHC teams could get them a 1 seed, which would help, but they are probably not going to slip to 3 with a loss against WMU. Not sure whether there is much difference between a 2 and 3 seed, matchup wise.
