Marto attributes his personal turnaround to a more positive attitude and better effort in practice. Says everyone on the team has come to know his role. We need to play Tech the way we played Minnesota.

Hennessey just told a cute story about a sand truck driver in Houghton who led the Sioux team bus up and down Houghton streets and hills, sanding ahead of the team vehicle both last night after dinner and tonight over to the rink. Yoopers rock!

Who's hot? Marto who was a -9 after 14 games. Now he's got 1 g, 4 assists and leads team with a +10. His dramatic improvement corresponds with the Sioux streak of 8-2 in the last 10 games.

From Hennessey's pregame: 232nd meeting between the teams Hak's game plan--after Saturday's win over Gophers, we looked to the series with Tech, who'll play us tough. It's tougher to play open style against these guys but we'll go for 60 minutes, with urgency mixed with patience They'll clog lanes and the front of their net. We're counting on our senior guys. We're not over the miserable loss we had 3 weeks ago, so we're trailing in our season series with these guys and looking to turn that around. We can't be robotic on PP; need crispness and sharpness against their PK. Expecting a hard-nosed game. Hockey is a cruel game in which a fluke shot in a drill takes out Koz for this series, maybe a few weeks. It was a cut to the back of the leg that could have been worse. Lammy will be in for Koz.
