The series played late last season at the NHC was a route for St. Cloud, especially the Senior Night game on Saturday. Gudmundson got pulled and he looked absolutely shell-shocked that last game.
Gotta agree with you considering Becky lost more talent last year to early-signings and graduation than St. Cloud. I think St. Cloud's early losses this season can be greatly attributed to not having any exhibition games (as opposed to their opponents) and long road travel primarily the first two weekends.
Home-cooking for the Husckeys means 4 points for St. Cloud in the WCHA standings!
