The key is obviously to play our game then opposition adjustments won't matter. Sauer is highly unlikely to stand on his head and beat us but Michigan has scoring depth on their lines moreso than we do. If we do not take pressure off of the DOT line by getting goals from our 2nd-4th lines, we're beat. (We roll when they score, simple as that) PL will give up a couple soft goals in this game but they will happen because of Mich pressure. Defense needs to play smart. I also think that if we have PP advantage in this game, we have a good shot at knocking them off. Mich is not as effective as ND on special teams.
You are very wise. That's pretty much exactly how I see this game. NHL ice and last change, Make this a much closer game than it would be at say a World Arena or some place with Olympic ice. I think the Sioux might be the best team in the country on Olympic ice, When the DOT line has time a space to be dangerous. That said, Michigan is not a team I would want to play on NHL ice as a skating team, Which I believe the Sioux are even more so than the Gophers. The longer this game is scoreless or low scoring, The better chance Michigan has of winning (that goes for AFA as well).

All I can say to the Sioux is PLEASE do not overlook Michigan.
You will need a good game to beat them. They are a dangerous 2 seed. Having the last change will really help them *try* and contain the DOT line.

I think Minnesota is a big Michigan fan right now.
I'm a big fan of multiple overtimes. 9 or so would be good.
No seriously, I really don't care who the gophers *could* play. I'm going to concentrate on AFA for right now. The Sioux have a very tough first game as well. Really UND/Michigan would not shock anyone no matter which way it went. Good Luck until you cross paths with the Gophers again.

In NCAA play the higher seed always gets the early game, For the added benefit of a few hours of rest.

New tournament this weekend, and you can bet our boys are going to want it. Nothing like being shown your vulnerable to make you smarten up.
I believe that too a degree. However, Sometimes when you have been as hot as the Sioux it only takes one loss to cool you off. I curious how Sioux fans see it, As a case can be made for both.

MN employed the defensive style to beat us last night.
While I agree Minnesota did employ a defensive style to shut down the DOT line, They did outshoot UND nearly 2-1, So it's not exactly like they were totally defensive. Personally I think it's pretty strange, But I think the Gophs are better suited to the NHL rink than the Sioux. Minnesota has lost one game this season on NHL ice.

I don't have a problem with the logo off the ice. As stated somewhere, this is about hockey at it's finest, not our logo. There's a time and place to fight for our rights to wear and display the Fighting Sioux name and logo. I don't believe the regionals nor the Frozen Four are the right venues for that fight.
See ya in court NC$$.
The always remove the logo at any arena during NCAA events. The was no M at Minnesota last year, Just an NCAA symbol.
The actually cover the advertisements on the scoreboard and boards too.
Congratulations Fighting Sioux! 2010 Broadmoor Trophy Champs!

Congrats Sioux!
I was actively pulling against you and will continue to do so next weekend, but you earned it this weekend. Nicely done.
