Saturday.....Shocked the band was at the game; loved it. Complete domination by UW over all 3 periods, though all the goals were scored by players not the big 3. The crowd was big but a little flat.
Sunday.....UW got off to a slow start, shots were like 8 to 5 in the 1st. MSU had 2 pp's, there was a 4 on 4 and I think the Sr. day deal got them off kilter. MSU got as pp goal, a longer shot from the halfboard that somehow eluded ARD, easily the longest shot I have seen her allow, maybe she was screened? At that point it was 1-1 and I will admit I was a tad worried after seeing the first period. Then in the 2nd UW got a few pp's and popped one and had 1 disallowed due to a high stick. Shots were 18-5 in the 2nd period, so I felt pretty confident. The 3rd period was awesome. UW just unloaded on them scoring 6. I do enjoy a good old butt whipping. What a great way to crown the champs with the crowd whipped into a frenzy. It was really cool they presented the trophy after the game, I had never got to witness that before.
When MJ started Walters, I was also worried, but she had worked hard for 4 years and it was nice to see her get the start in Sr. day. I sure felt better then ARD game into the game. I would have hated to not win this game and go to rodentsota next week and have to win one for sure. Now they can go there loose and free as can be and make a statement.
Miller had some sort of leg controlling brace with crutches, she must have had surgery since she was walking around the previous few weeks but not dressing. Rolfes did come out with full gear for the trophy/pics, though I doubt she'll get back. I wonder of she could use a medical redshirt this year, she only played 10 games.
