What I don't understand is why Osiecki didn't play Hjelle instead of Heeter. I guess it was senior night and he wanted to give Heeter the start, but he should have at least been pulled earlier than goal #5. Not that I'm complaining, but it's just a head-scratcher. Hjelle looked good in relief and he got them the win in Oxford earlier in the season. With home ice on the line, I would have thought Heeter's leash would have been much shorter.
Then again, with the way we're playing right now (and the way OSU is not playing right now), it probably wouldn't have made much of a difference. Most epic regular season collapse in CCHA history? It's gotta be up there, at least.
In other news, I'm actually going to be able to get to Oxford for the 2nd Round series. The only other time I saw the team in person this year was the split in Colgate. Booked the flight home a few weeks ago and was holding out hope that we'd manage to land in the top 4. Glad the boys didn't let me down. Miami Hockey, Mac & Joe's, Fiesta Charra, Bagel & Deli, and maybe I'll even check out that Woods place everyone talks about these days. Can't wait!
