Anything less than a sweep would be dissapointing

[Goon]

Anything less than a SWEEP would be unacceptable.

I think we see sweep this weekend....I also think we will see the black jerseys on Saturday.

[geaux_sioux]

WMU is a big strong team so I expect our guys to skate circles around them on the way to a sweep and a conference title.

[gfhockey]

I'd take a split

[burd]

I just hope no one gets injured this weekend.  That can always happen, but WMU plays very physical, and they may not have a lot to play for by late Saturday night.  Not that I remember them being cheap.

That is exactly my worry.  I seem to remember a lot of players going out when we played them earlier in the season.

All we need is one point. But I still want to sweep and maintain the momentum into the playoffs.

WMU has been passable at home, at least compared to their road record, which is terrible. Sweep them back to the 'zoo. I'm sure the upperclassmen remember a couple years ago when the Broncos won a game and Cloud took the cup outright. Keep the momentum building from the last couple weeks. The forecheck has really been on-point lately.

I'll take a point, solid performances from the team, a rest game for Cam, and no injuries.

And sole possession of the Penrose.

Whatever, Sic is clearly saying he's happy with "a point." One of those settler type fans. 

[siouxstudent]

Really need a sweep here to maintain high pairwise rank. Lets just rattle off 10 more wins in a row and we good.

Good question. 

The only game we've seen him was the U-18 exhibition game. An exhibition. Does that count as an official appearance in the eyes of the NCAA? If not, he hasn't appeared in a game this season and thus hasn't burned a year of eligibility.

I would say, no, it doesn't.

No clue why we would pick now to play a 3rd string goalie. As far as Ive heard Rinks is the backup and will be for the remainder of the season barring an injury. Next season he will get his shot.

I've come to the point where I'm 99% sure we don't see Tomek. I was lobbying for it towards the middle point of the year but at this point in the season I would rather have Hrynkiw get more time.  Cam and Matt have proven themselves and need to be ready for the regionals.

My only worry is does Matej consider alternative options in the offseason? I really hope not...

My guess is no. No way he was guaranteed anything other than "he'll get a shot".... it happens. Anyone heard anything of him leaving? Only things I've heard about Tomek have been positive.
