Ohio State swept Minnesota-Duluth last weekend to advance to the WCHA Final Face-Off. Their reward for their work in Duluth? They get to face 36-0 #1-ranked Minnesota. This will obviously be a tall task, but Ohio State played two competitive games against Minnesota last month so confidence shouldn't be an issue. The big question mark for this one will be execution, both offensively and defensively. Will the Buckeyes be able to execute Friday the way they did in the Duluth series? We will find out Friday night. Wish I was able to make the trip!

Over-confidence is bad!
So far the latter has not been a problem.Minnesota Golden Gopher Hockey

Originally posted by osualum86 View PostThe Gophers are definitely on a roll, an unprecedented roll, no question about that. I've said on other threads, no matter what happens Friday, I feel like Ohio State's program is moving in the right direction with Coach Handrahan and his assistant coaches.

For OSU to win. Knapp would have to have the best game of her career and possible as I'm sure shots will be 2-1. If the Bucks get into penalty trouble it will be a long night. Hoping for a great game!
