Trailing 3-0 after an eyebrow-raising first 13 minutes of the first period, the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs could have perhaps easily accepted that Saturday night at Denver's Magness Arena was not going to be 'their' night.And truthfully, there would have been no shame in it. After all, to even tie the game at that point would have meant scoring at least three times against a goaltender — DU's freshman...
