I was surprised Hibbing did as well as they did. Marshall did not wow me with their talent, but the defense did a great job of limiting second chances and their superior depth wore down the Bluejackets. Adam Johnson was certainly the most impressive player on the ice, but he couldn't do it alone, and at times it seemed like he was trying to. Before their late little flurry, it was obvious Hibbing was worn down. Still, congrats to them on a fine season.
Marshall may not really stand out in any area, but they have balance and defensive discipline; that's exactly what they'll need if they want to have a shot at Breck. If they play well they'll certainly have a shot at the upset.
Why were you surprised Hibbing did well?
Just curious.
They have a pretty nice tradition.

Marshall won pretty comfortably in the first meeting between these two. And given Marshall's edge in depth, I expected a lot more of this game to be played in Hibbing's end. Instead, it was a very even game. DeCenzo and company did a good job getting all they could out of their top players.

Dang it Karl,
you're a hard guy to argue with. I agree with you most of the time.

Sorry about that. Should I try being more unreasonable in the future?
