Candace and I both predicted Miami to sweep Western Michigan this weekend in the teams’ NCHC first-round playoff series, but Western forced a Game 3 with a win last night in Game 2. Ahead of tonight’s series-decider, here are our updated predictions.
Candace: Western Michigan has made this series very hard on the RedHawks, and could have swept had it held on Friday. I still think home ice matters, though. Miami 4-3
Matthew: I have to admit I’m impressed with the Broncos, considering I thought Miami would have the easiest time of any of the favored teams in the first round. I still think Miami goes through, though, but tonight’s game will be another tight one. Miami 5-3
