    StL gave up fewer goals than Clarkson, it didn't seem to help them against Boston College

        I'm kinda partial to this...

        The Gophers will be lucky to get within 2 goals of Clarkson (if the mid-season Peters shows up)
        At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

          Fixed your post. Now this is some sand bagging on both sides.

            Minnesota fans aren't sandbagging. I can do it with the best of them, but this just isn't the same caliber team as the last five years. They did well to reach the FF. I'd guess either Clarkson or Minnesota is perfectly capable of beating the other. If the Gophers play their best they likely win, but I'm not sure that is in their repertoire. They played pretty well versus UMD in the WCHA semi and still lost. I think Clarkson has been more consistent game in and game out, so I'd make the Golden Knights a slight favorite, like maybe 55/45. But they wear Green and it is St. Patrick's Day, so perhaps nothing else matters.

            The Gophers will have to bank on obscure trivia like being undefeated in the national tournament when starting a junior or senior in goal (20-0).

              While I largely agree...as the most dangerous scorer in the country (and its not really close), Dani C does change the equation some.
              Go Gophers!

                I agree. IMHO she is what tips the scales in Minny's favor. However I did not give Clarkson a chance in 2014 so what do I know. Just hoping this game is as entertaining and competitive as game 1.

                  Given the quality of the ice, I rate this game as a complete toss up.

                    Good luck, but I have a strange feeling about CU.

                      One of those the-better-team-could-win feelings?

                        It really is too bad that the ice conditions are not up to par. But it is the same for both teams so I guess there is that. Clarkson wins going away 5-1...

                            Typical Minnesota multiple turnovers and somehow managed to not score with a wide open net (Schammel).

                              Really worthwhile (for Clarkson) penalty by Taylor Williamson.

                                Nicest goal of the tournament by Minnesota there...It's a miracle they scored!
