Re: It's a Great Day for Hockey* - Michigan Tech at Wisconsin, Friday, Dec. 4
Lineups are as indicated earlier today in the series thread, other than to say VanWagner may not play due to the "nagging injury" he sustained earlier in his career, in which case Brown would step back to the blueline.

Apparently Van Wagner might not play which means Rohn would get some ice time tonight...(if you're asking how that works, we're playing 9 defenseman tonight, so Tommy Brown would get moved from forward back to defense and then Rohn would fill his forward spot...)

Russell:
-Last two periods in Mankato on Saturday we played well
-Much better disciplined, fewer penalties
-Great work ethic
-Had more scoring chances, need to finish better
-Worked with D-men one-on-one a lot this week
-Trying to defend the rush better
-Wisconsin is a big, mobile, defensive team
-Very solid at the blueline
-Need to make sure we don't get beat up ice
-Adjust by playing a bit more conservative on the forecheck
-Passed up too many shots against Mankato last weekend
-Too many "pretty" plays, not enough rebound chances
-Short bench tonight
-Don't have the depth
-Too many injuries, 4th line is pieced together (hinted they won't see a lot of ice time)
