Badgers hold on 2-1. Headed to the final.

On Wisconsin.

I assume Bucky is not opposed to this taking several more overtimes

I was hoping for 3 overtimes, and I wanted Denver - for old times sake.

Denver's gonna be tough with that goalie. Only gave up 3 on 52 shots. In contrast, Michigan's goalie gave up 4 on only 25 shots.

In playoff hockey, as your netminder goes, your team goes. But that was yesterday. The game is played tomorrow. Goalies are weird ones (former goalie speaking), and there's no guarantee that last night's performance gets repeated, especially if double overtime takes something out of those skaters' legs.

6 OT's would have been fine with me.

I love hockey. But sometimes you get to a point and you’re just like “the big key is who scores move goals?”

Bucky played like its hair was on fire yesterday. Doing that again would be cool.

Yeah, but how is that different from any other sport? I guess the traditional Olympic sports (who runs the fastest, lifts the most, wrestles the best) have a little more application to surviving in a dangerous world, but...maybe not? Teamwork is a real key to survival.

American footballs, on the other hand, are as rational as they come. Starting with the name.

Denver is 15-0 with this goalie. Kid is amazing.

From my reading, the Badgers can outskate Denver and can be more physical. That's what it will take to win.

Hopefully the officials are different than the ones who did the last Badger game.

Badger men last won an MNC in 2006. The women also won in 2006.

The women won this year.

Now 20 years later - DO IT!

It's a low-scoring sport that's extremely bounce-reliant and the structure is incredibly free flowing. 

It's sometimes intersting to guess on matchups, but those can swing too.
