I'm ok with expectations being low again. Worked well for us last year. Frankly, we shouldn't need the any motivation to play well, but maybe the underdog role better fits this team. *sigh* ... I don't know,
Finally played with some urgency after going down 3-1. Damn shame it took that long because we have found a bit of jump. Lots of pucks to nets. Need to bury a rebound. Come on boys, dig deep.
Fair enough. I'm done arguing about it. I think it does for momentum, chemistry, confidence and oh yeah, the potential to get the No. 1 overall seed and avoid a stronger match up.
I may be in the minority here, but, I don't think so. They were Big10 tourney champs (wait, is that a good thing? ) last year and if it weren't for us, were probably a Frozen Four team. I think he gets one more year.
