I was reading some of the opinions of this series from various people on
the list, and today I looked at the actual stats from the weekend.  A lot
of people were bragging on how good the Badgers Power Play looked, but
for the entire weekend they went 1 for 10.  Furthermore, they went 1 for
8 against SCSU on Friday night when SCSU was out of sync.  I think if it
was that good they should have went at least 4 for 8 against an out of
sync team.
 
On the other side of the puck, SCSU went 2 for 8 for the series on Power
Plays.  And of these, on Saturday night they went 2 for 3.
 
Now, I'm not trying to bad mouth the Badger fans or anything, but
statistic wise SCSU has a better power play and penalty killing unit.
(Maybe because they always seem to be in the box for something.)
Personally, I'm surprised that SCSU split the series with the Badgers.  I
was looking at a Badger sweep for my own predictions.
