Badger Men Advance to WCHA Semi-Finals

The Badger Men put together a convincing 4-0 victory over Michigan Tech last night in the play-in game at the WCHA Final Five. All four lines scored goals for the Badgers in the win, and Brian Elliott tied the WCHA record by notching his 16th career shutout.

I saw bits and pieces of the game, and they guy that jumped out at me was Ben Street. He just seemed quicker than anyone Tech was throwing at him. I happened to catch the shift where he assisted on the fourth goal, among others. The goal was all his hustle and nice moves, complimented by Tom Gorowsky being left alone on the back door and burying the opportunity.
