Laurila was on the ice a bunch when UND was trying to hold onto the lead in the 3rd against Merrimack. Seems like he's earned some pretty good trust from the coaches and has played very solid down the stretch.
He only showed up with one assist on the scoresheet last night, but I thought Mac had his best game of the season last night. He was all over the ice making things happen.
Should be an ESPN decision based on which match up will be higher rated. I've gotta believe a UND-Wisconsin game has a good shot at getting the night game.
Would a potential Michigan-Denver match up move us up to the early game?
For those of you in town with time to kill, I recommend checking out Midco Arena on Augustana's campus. I stopped by and was able to walk in today. It is fabulous. It's no wonder Raboin wants to stay in Sioux Falls.
I also wish we could go back to the original format. The current structure with a day in-between makes it a lot more difficult to travel to the regional.
