To be honest with you, western is a far more physical than we are. Which makes sense as their guys are huge. In that scrum they were man handling our guys but that made sense given the shear size of the players on the ice.
But to that wmu poster, they may have won the physical side of things but we were far more skilled. Did they send a little message? Sure, thy can knock guys around. But we can hang in those games and use our skill to win the game. Which is the objective obviously.
