Gotta disagree. Yale last year, Duluth in 2011, MSU whenever they last won (2006?), Wisconsin's last win. None of them were the best team in the country over the course of the season but got in the tourney and won 4 games. We can too! Just get in and see what happens.
I don't see Miami as a hot team. Yes they beat SCSU twice (by one goal each time) last weekend, but they are 4-8 in their last 12 games. As long as the Sioux play a 60 minute game, they win.
I think these lines work well. Panzarella brought hustle and physical play on a level above Mitch. But can somebody have a couple of words with Luke?? And LaDue? What is it with Luke taking a stupid penalty every game? And LaDue - most of the time plays great but nearly cost the team the season - freshman mistakes I guess.
I sat in the first row behind the Duluth bench for one period when they won the FF in St. Paul. Crappy seats - I was looking up at the scoreboard so I could see what was going on instead of watching the ice since I couldn't see through the coaches. But it was interesting to see and hear what was going on in the bench area.
