The new Phil Kessel? Just kidding!
Seriously, this was a gut-check win for this team tonight. You know what they say about winning big games...you get to play MORE big games.
One single positive play over the course of a season wouldn't a Hobey award winner make, so why would a negative play mean an automatic DQ from the race?
Yes, I'm aware they played. I'm only re-capping the Wooger's comments that they'd be more than ready for Air Force and wouldn't even come close to letting an upset happen this year, which obviously wasn't the case.
I'll tell you why...the NCAA would prefer to have an eastern-western mix of teams as opposed to have a WCHA reunion at the Frozen Four. They'll never allow what happened in 2005 to happen again.
