The first thought that came to my mind yesterday afternoon as I watched the RIT-Wisconsin game was, “at least BSU made a game of it last year!”
Now, that’s not fair to RIT…or BSU for that matter…to compare to games against four different teams. But, the premise is still the same. RIT was playing in their first Frozen Four. BSU was playing in their first Frozen Four. For a while yesterday it looked as if Wisconsin was trying NOT to score. That’s the one good thing about hockey…it’s hard to say that a team ran up the score. You just play the game. Now, you may not have your top power play unit out there if you’re up by six goals (which Wisco didn’t)…but other than that, you just play the game.
As for the second game, it was a closer game than the 7-1 score (I really do hate that phrase) but Miami looked stunned to get blown out.
I’m expecting a 6-4 game Saturday…both of these two teams can score at will, it seams. I’ll take Wisconsin to win it (with an empty netter).
