Re: NCAA Selection Show
I agree with the forecheck but a lot of the Gopher fans especially made many comments to the effect of "you wouldn't get away with that in the WCHA". I really thought Clarkson played a different style than the two big dogs in 2014, but in 2017 I thought the teams had very similar styles of play.
I don't recall the physical play being an issue but they stifling forecheck sure was. I remember eeyore pointing out at the time also that CU moved the puck up ice quickly which denied MN the chance to counter attack.
