My take-
Merrimack has been riding a hot goalie, winning low scoring games. They block a lot of shots - 2nd in the country. All that means the opposition spends a lot of time in Merrimack's zone, peppering their D. Our speed at moving the puck, screening in front of the net and sniping ability blows all that out the window. They haven't seen that level of constant pressure from four lines in the Big East. We'll beat them with speed, we'll be them on the boards, we'll beat them at center ice, we'll beat them with sharp shooting.
