...Unlike last year's one, game affair, it's a two-game series--not decided by total goals as in the NCAA quarterfinals. Instead, if the teams split the two contests, or tie twice, they will play a 10-minute mini-game. If that tie-breaker ends in a tie, sudden death play will decide who goes to the Boston Garden for the semifinals...

Unlike Breaker Morant, there actually is a right decision and it is only a question of whether the court will make it.
