I, too would add an argument to that notion.  No discredit to UNH at all, as
they are a fast team that finishes well.  I would say that they may have
been the better team, but this one hinged on no less than six breakaway
chances that CC gave up (three for goals).  CC was forced to work hard for
every goal (credit UNH's defense and goaltending for that) while a
significant number of UNH's chances were handed to them on a silver platter
(again, credit to UNH for finishing these chances well).
