In some ways the start to this year is similar to the first half of the season. They found ways to win, unlike last season when they found ways to lose. But they have not played as well as in the first half. The Friday game against UAH was in doubt until about 3 minutes left in the game. The Saturday game was in doubt until the third period. Last Saturday's win could have easily gone south if not for 3 (or 4) pipes that Omaha hit. So chalk it up to the mystical puck luck?
