My gut feeling is that it will be one and done for UND. Just seems like this team is lacking heart. Getting swept by Denver losing to Duluth on Friday. Johnson is letting a lot of goals in lately seems like the scouting report is to keep puck high on him. Defense has to make the other team earn them goals.
IMO the NorthEastern game is the most important one on the road to Tampa…not just because it’s the first one…but because it’s a great measuring stick against Hockey East. This is a team that won Hockey East with wins against BC and Umass-Lowell that’s impressive…it wouldn’t surprise me if we lose traditionally we have struggled against Hockey East, but this teams different…it’s build more like a BC team with more speed and skill than tree trunk D-men…and our D is very offensive minded. So with that being said, when we when there will be no excuse for winning it all. Mich might put up a good fight but BG10 hockey is about as bad as BG10 BB over inflated numbers…other side of the bracket will be Duluth or another Hockey East team so we can beat them…honestly our first round frozen 4 match up against DU or ST. Cloud will probably be the toughest game…all however are winnable for this team.
