    Wasn't that the same scenario in 2015/2016 where bc's high risk, high reward offense was forced into turnovers and exposed by Clarkson, and especially Minnesota, in that Frozen Four?

      I had a dream over vacation that BC beat Wisconsin 6-5 in OT in the semifinal. I remembered it especially well mostly because of how likely that final score is haha

      Eh idk about that. We only gave up two goals to Clarkson. I don't recall either of them being off turnovers, but I barely remember the first 50 minutes of that game anyway lol. As for the Minnesota game, that game felt so abnormal after giving up the first goal like 4 seconds in. I pushed most of that game from my memory

        Pretty close to me! A+ offense, C defense, B+ power play, D+ penalty kill, B+ overall.

        It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to see any of the top 4 teams win it this year. Wisconsin is the favorite but you can throw a blanket over 2-4, and they aren't that far behind Wisconsin talent-wise, IMO.

          As you should...And you probably should prepare to do the same this year for precautionary purposes...We wouldn't want to see you short circuit and have a meltdown at Ridder.

              BC may have more talent @ F than UW. One would think with all the experience Burt > Campbell, but the numbers say otherwise. I have no clue on D.

                BC's top 3 forwards are considerably better than Wisconsin's top 3, but the Badgers are likely a bit deeper. The blue line is similar, in that the top couple of D for each might be a wash, but after that, Wisconsin has the advantage. At this stage of their careers, I would go with Burt over Campbell. The numbers for Campbell are largely a product of the team in front of her. She isn't asked to save two or three shots in a row like Burt is.

                  Believe me TTT, NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY sat in their seat longer than I did after that one...which was still only half as long as I sat after St Louis last year.

                            One of my New Years resolutions was to quit making Watts puns. Yous two are obviously going to make it much more difficult to turn that off.

                              Sounds like your current resolution might need to be rewired somewatt!

                                Apparently the key to her success is that she's really big into yoga and meditation, and can be heard chanting her mantra before every game, "Ohm, ohm, ohm...."
