Obligatory B1G announcing complaint...

During the first intermission, Fred Pletch noted that the vaunted Notre Dame defense and Cale Morris, after having given up just 1 goal over the first 3 Big Ten tournament games had now given up 2 goals in just one period, almost gleefully pointing it out. Suck it Pletch. Why didn't you bother to note PSU had given up less than a goal per period over their first 4 B1G tournament games, and we more than doubled that with our two?

At the end of the day we held the league's best power play scoreless, and held the NCAA's best offense to fewer than half the goals they normally score. PSU scored 71 goals in the second period alone. Only 4 other teams had managed a period in the 50s. Coming into the game they had managed at least one second period goal in 33 of their 38 games, including 7 in their previous 4 B1G tournament games. Cale was phenomenal in the second period and the whole team was in the final one.
