Hopefully the boys had a great night sleep dreaming about jumping skates, snicking passes, and holding cups aloft.
Yeah, it would have been nice to get the stick salute in our last WCHA home series, but it ain't happening, and we need to lace up the skates, get out there and get the job done.
We have the horses. Our goaltending is fine. We need our d-men to play with some purpose, and by that I don't mean getting skated past and then dragging down the attacker. And our goal scorers need to start goal scoring. Our passing really needs to improve. I am used to seeing sloppy or poorly timed passing with Sioux squads, but not after the break. That has been Hak's MO - come out hard and tough after the break.
Finally, the officiating is really disgraceful. The WCHA should be absolutely embarrassed by this ref crew's performance. The fact that it is happening in the playoffs is really troubling. But it is what it is, and we need to get out there and play OUR game, and win this series. That means playing smart as well as hard.
