Despite all my pessimism about the team, Minnesota sweeps the first round for the first time since 2023.

Fan of chipmunk-like mascots.
Based on what we've seen from European players in past years returning from the Olympics, don't expect those who competed for medals to be at their usual level during the WCHA Tournament. Some are able to bounce back and regain their form by the NCAA Tournament, but the emotional tank is pretty empty after the Olympics. I'm guessing that the NHL and PWHL players will also take a couple of weeks to settle into their groove.

That makes sense; Simms didn't get any ice time last Thursday, so she hasn't played in a week, McNaughton barely played at all, and Sapo hasn't played in over a week. Physically, they should be ready to go - jet lag notwithstanding. KK and Laila had a more physically demanding couple of weeks.
