They loved Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith and Heath Shuler coming into their drafts too. This is all hype and projections. With that said I want Wentz to succeed but this draft thing is anything but a science.
Without question this is the key to the game. After watching MI/ND there is little doubt IMO that the more 5 on 5 that is played the more it favors UND. The CCM line had zero desire to play a 200 foot game yesterday. Their blue line 1-6 is a bunch of Joe Finley's......sorry Joe. Racine is giving up 3 per game......and that's mostly vs. the putrid B1G conference teams. Cam didn't look sharp yesterday. Needs to be better. Disappointed will be an understatement if UND loses today.
5-3 SIOUX
UND should want MI. ND will try to limit time and space. MI will want to try to show they have the better skill. It's obvious what will happen when UND get open ice and time with the puck. UND Dmen >>> Michigan's. I'd expect a 5-3 or 6-3 UND win vs MI.
