If Prpich doesn't play, how do the lines get formed? Does the Senior line get broken to fill in? Will Bina move up to forward? Who will get to play that didn't play last night?
You would have to be crazy not to go if you had the tickets. Just pack a winter survival kit (blanket, chocholate, candle, 1/5 of windsor, Doritos, radio with batteries in case you don't make it to the game, etc)
I think the 4th line play will be critical in this tournament. Partly, they have to get on the ice, which means 5 on 5 hockey. Penalties on both sides limit their ice time. Of course the talent level drops off, but I'd put UND's 4th line up against any other team's 4th line. I'll take that match up all weekend long.
I think it's mathmatical that they will make the NCAA's now. Depending on how they do in this tournament, they could even move up as high as a #2 seed, depending on how other teams do, etc.
