One year later, it feels like we are back where we started. The No. 2 Wisconsin Badgers will take the ice against the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes in a rematch of last year’s championship game after the Buckeyes took out Clarkson in the first Frozen Four matchup.
The Badgers (35-5) advanced to the title game by taking down Colgate (32-7-1) Saturday night. In a game between two of the country’s top offenses, it was the defense that controlled the tempo. Both teams feature elite power play units but combined to go 0-for-9 with the advantage, thanks in large part to inspired performances by both goaltenders.
