I think the main thing is to make sure you counter with experienced players who have played with and against them in practice and know their tendencies well.

      Whatever the match-ups turn out to be, it sure will be interesting to watch.
      Good point on the ice time. Think the Gophers' depth will likey win out in the end of this match up for now. Looking forward to it tho. Adding another truly competitive team to the WCHA is a benefit to women's hockey. Looks like Coach I is also trying to figure out his lines as they have been varied.

          I would guess he will match the Kortum, Davis and Terry line against the Lams. I think Terry may be a bit of a liability in the defensive zone, but I think Kortum and Davis can pick up the slack. I would be surprised if the first line matches much because they seem to be more of an offensive line.

          Now an off topic note, let's keep this board just on Gopher hockey not this other BS.

            Series preview from Gophersports:

            Obviously, The Sioux will be playing all out for the upset in each contest this weekend, and putting an end to their 28 game(?) losing streak vs. Minnesota. However the Gopher lines are configured this weekend, they'll need to play well in all three zones. Containing the twins is big but I think there's more to beating UND as they have others who can score too. Appears they're getting some solid goaltending. I always feel good about our chances with Raty & Grogan...I think the Gophers will generate enough scoring chances...but I believe they'll definitely need to convert more that show up on the scoreboard than they've managed the last two times out to be successful this weekend. If they can't...it will be trouble.

            Thought UND showed some real team speed in the video snippets viewed vs. UMD.

              At this point and assuming that West will not be available I would say that the two best DEFENSIVE forwards are Erickson and Schoullis.

              How and even if that translates into match ups will be revealed Friday and Saturday.
              Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

                It is too early in the year to put too much effort into matching lines. I think he will start out by just rolling his lines, and if an advantage/disadvantage shows up along the way, then he may adjust.

                The question came up in the interviews regarding what type of reception the twins will receive from the Ridder crowd. My wish would be that the fans give them a nice ovation when they are first introduced. They each gave us a great year when they played here, and they deserve some thanks for that. Would we have rather they played a year in Madison and then transferred to Grand Forks? No. So it isn't like we were horribly wronged here. Their lives, and they can decide how to live them. After that first introduction, then I'll view them the same as Knight, Irwin, Spooner, or any other great player on a team we are trying to beat.

                    Probably just as well that I'll miss Friday's game, then. I'll be chatting on the live game blog, though, so I'll be keeping up with the game.

                      I feel I gave them their due appreciation while they played at Minnesota. I'll remain silent as I am during all opponent player introductions...no boo birds, but it's unlikely I'll be giving them an ovation. I wouldn't endorse any expression of contempt from Gopher fans but I'm curious to see if any such expression occurs. I hope not...the twins contributed greatly to the Gopher program while enrolled at the U.

                        Hey Gopher Fans!

                        I'm taking in the Sioux/Gophers game tomorrow night and I've never been to Ridder before (I am a Sioux fan, so this is understandable) and I have a somewhat silly question. I know Ridder is a smaller arena than a lot of the arenas I've been to like the X, Mariucci & REA ... and I was wondering if it gets SUPER cold in there like high school arenas and some D3 arenas? I want to know if I need to bring my mittens. I want to be prepared!

                        Thanks! Looking forward to the game tomorrow!

                          In my opinion it doesn't get super cold. My daughter feels the ice is one of the softer ice sheets. But I don't want to be responsible for your fingers. So maybe you should bring your mittens just in case.

                            It's quite comfortable at or near the top of the seating areas...or standing at the rail above the seats. Gets pretty cool down near the ice. I'd bring mittens...hands tend to get cold when there are no opportunities for clapping.

                              Hands tend to get cold here while having too many ice cubs with drinks. Have to avoid that mistake during webcast.
                              It will be 2AM Saturday here when puck drops down.

                                Glad to see that she's playing tonight vs. UND. Whew. Not good if she, too, was out for an extended length of time.

                                Any definitive word on why Noora didn't get the start tonight? (I heard from others that she's not even dressed... )
