WCHA Playoffs Begin Tonight

Denver faces Minnesota Duluth tonight to begin a best of three WCHA playoff series. DU still must win this series to qualify for the NCAA playoffs, so there's plenty on the line. UMD on the otherhand, has stuggled mightily since Christmas, so it would appear to be a walkover for DU, on paper at least.
Its the same story for DU every weekend. Play stiffling defense, wait for Power Play opportunities, try and get something going 5 on 5 and hope the goaltending holds up. So far the formula has worked pretty well, but when the PP doesn't score, DU loses.
This is the time of year when DU has stepped it up defensively in the past two seasons. We'll see what happens tonight.
