My answer is both.  Once again, CC had a major defensive breakdown tonight.
Missing coverage cost them a few of the goals (I didn't even attempt to keep a
tally) and although they came out playing physically, they gave Wisconsin some
incredible scoring opportunities.  Even though the Badgers didn't have a large
number of shots on goal, most of their shots were good opportunities, and they
capitalized on every one of them.  Four out of the top five scorers in the WCHA
are CC players, but based on tonight's game you would have thought that the
Badgers had better talent.  Also to Wisconsin's credit, their goalie had an
amazing night.  Like Wisconsin, CC didn't have many shots on goal, but they had
a few which should have been sure things, had it not been for Wisconsin's
netminder.
 
I didn't fully expect CC to sweep in Madison, but I certainly
didn't expect an 8-1 blowout.  That makes two Saturdays in a row that CC has
fallen asleep in their own zone.  CC played poorly, but I don't want to take
anything away from Wisconsin--if they played like this every night they would
be in first place.  Rarely have I seen a team capitalize on nearly every
scoring opportunity.
