The Minnesota State University Mavericks travel to the Mile High City this coming weekend. Last season DU went 5-0-1 against the Mavs including 4 one goal wins. The only blowout was a 6-1 win last Nov. 13th. The big question is how are the Mavs getting to Denver? Last year they bused from Mankato to Denver during the playoffs. The Mavs comes in with a 1-3-0 record after splitting with RPI on the road two weekends ago and getting swept by Umass-Lowell at home last weekend.
No doubt that Adam Murray will start in goal on Friday for DU as Juho Olkinuora from Finland will be serving the final game of his 3-game NCAA suspension. Will Gwoz give him the start on Saturday night to get his feet wet in the WCHA? Historically, the Mavs have given DU fits the way they play especially on the road in Mankato. DU has played some of the weirdest games against them. On paper DU should sweep this weekend at home but against this team you never know what is going to happen. Will the Mavs be able to shut down DU's offense? I highly doubt it.
