One interesting addition. On the delayed broadcast (I watched it on Public Television late last night) it showed Jeff Sauer (Wis. coach) going down the Minnesota bench shaking player's hands. Is this common? I don't remember seeing it before. Then he got to about the 5th player, held out his hand that was ignored, threw up both hands in a wave of dismissal, turned around and stalked off with a bad expression on his face. Makes you wonder what was said. This was a fine game. I really believe that Wisconsin is only about 4th best in the league this year at best, but it proves they still have some teeth and might yet manage to grab 3rd by the end. And everyone knows the incredible level of success Sauer's teams have in the playoffs. Who knows??
