Coming off a pointless weekend at Wisconsin, it is paramount that we take care of business and get six points this weekend. I don't normally predict sweeps, but we have to get six points this weekend and maintain our spot in the top four. It is crunch time, and we cannot afford to leave any points on the table against teams below us in the standings. We need to come back with a vengeance this weekend, and I am sure our team will be up to the task.

Yup. It figures to be a down-to-the-wire, sprint to the finish. Holding anything back just isn't an option. Definitely looking forward to this weekend's games!
Note that a bit of to do has been made of Wisconsin taking over second place. While it's true they now hold second by 5 points, they've also played two extra conference games. Two wins = six points. So the reality is that it's essentially a dead heat, with UND & UMD threatening to join the party.

Re: Ohio State vs St. Cloud 1/18 - 1/19
The standings could be very interesting and seriously tight with the right results this weekend. Results entirely plausible IMO. I would expect, or predict the Buckeyes get 6 pts. on the weekend. Don't tell anyone I said so...but I expect UMD to get 6 as well. Then if UND can sweep...well, you would have a regular log jam. Among those series...the UND sweep has the better chance of not happening, but if it did turn out that way... As Jimmy Dugan might say...game's gettin' pretty interesting.Minnesota Hockey

That said, this weekend's games with the Huskies are no less important simply because they "aren't Mankato." Nobody in the "horse race" can afford to leave any points on the table, especially at home.

UMD, UW, and UND struggled in October. All have gotten much better since then, and they've proven their bones in prior seasons. It's not that people disrespect your team; we're all skeptics, and a team has to prove themselves before we're truly going to believe they will be around at the finish.
Good luck to both teams today. I hope they put on a good show."... And lose, and start again at your beginnings
