Classic

This was a classic battle between two perennial powers. The Goof's matched Suzie blow for blow. Both teams missed a few scoring opportunities. Both teams took stupid penalties. Both teams were called for the fair share of questionable penalties. I'm sure they were going NUTS over at itsalltherefsfault.com! This is the team we watched during the first half. Got it done with D! Speaking of D, they finally put together a FULL game with no major give aways. Frazzee again looked solid. Does anybody else get nervous with his handling the puck? Every time he venture out to get the biscuit, I cringe.

Kyle deserves the game MVP. He dug and ground the DOT line all night. What can be said about Wheeler? Big time players come up big! Remind you of anybody? Somebody from Suzie's side of the river? Didn't that goal resemble Broten's goal just a tad?

Bracketology. The current selection prognostication is here. It is a shame that they are in the same region. These two teams need to meet in the Frozen Four.

DENVER
1. Minnesota vs. 16. Alabama-Huntsville
8. Michigan vs. 10. North Dakota (to avoid MSU)

GRAND RAPIDS
2. Notre Dame vs. 15. Air Force
7. Boston University vs. 9. Michigan State

ROCHESTER
3. Clarkson vs. 13. Massachusetts (to avoid UNH)
6. St. Cloud State vs. 12. Maine (to avoid BC)

MANCHESTER
4. New Hampshire vs. 14. Miami
5. Boston College vs. 11. St. Lawrence

The Suzie match up with Wolverines looks to be an interesting one. Michigan is 2-1 against WCHA squads. Their only loss was a drubbing by the Goof's 8-2!

Denver is by far the toughest regional. Maybe the selection committee will move them all to Grand Rapids but the field is pretty much set. Have a nice off season Becky!
