The big ice should favor the Sioux, especially the Watkins-VV-Kaip line who should be a bit faster than their opponents. I look for the DOK line to notch a couple as well, as Duncan is great at finding the open spot, Kozek has the cannon, and no one can seemingly stop Oshie's stick work with the puck. He is amazing to watch.
With another stellar performance from J-P between the pipes, it's quite possible for the Sioux to take home 4 points from next weekend.
That being said, I'd be much more comfortable to see the team forecheck a whole lot better than last weekend, and not play as flat in the neutral zone either.
Let's go Sioux! 4-2 (empty net), 3-1
Sweep!
Oh...one other thing.... Gophers suck!
