Well folks, after a quick bite to eat with WQOW-TV 18 sports director Bob Bradovich and his lovely fiance, it's back to hockey here at the Alliant Energy Center where the Eau Claire Memorial Old Abes prepare to take on the Superior Spartans in the second WIAA boys hockey state semifinal.
Memorial already owns a 6-5 victory over Superior this season. Brady Sand struggled in that game, making only four saves on eight shots in the first before being pulled in favor of Aarin McLaughlin who let in only one goal the rest of the way. Sand would love to redeem himself today.
Superior needed an extra frame yesterday, but pulled off the 6-5 win over University School of Milwaukee to advance. John LeDoux scored the overtime power-play tally, his second of the game, to power the Spartans.
The winner will advance to play Madison Edgewood in tomorrow's state title game at approximately 2:30 (though probably later, let's be honest here...the trophy presentation for the girls game prior to the boys game will take longer than expected. And unlike the Oscars, there's no music to push people off the stage.)
We're about 15 minutes from game time right now but be sure to check back later for live updates of all the scoring and a few insights as well.
