Re: Midwest Regional, Miami vs. Alabama-Huntsville, Bemidji State vs. Michigan
This season, BSU still has the CHA logo. Until the first puck drop next fall, we are a CHA team. Period.
The best thing about BSU is that the play smart defensively... As previously stated, they don't get caught in odd man rushes often. They take smart penalties, control the puck and win faceoffs. They don't take a ton of shots, but more often than not, the pucks go in. And, most especially, not a lot of shots find their way on net in their defensive zone. The stats where they are grossly outshot is typically when the other team is dumping the puck on net. The team is amazing at blocking shots.
I watched BSU's win over Miami in November. Realizing it was still early in the season, I couldn't help but find myself saying "This is the #1 team in the nation?" I was waiting for the big red machine to show up. I never saw it. I doubt that will happen in the tourney. I will say this much: I sincerely hope Miami doesn't overlook UAH!!
This will be a good regional, no matter what the haters say! There will be three well played games this weekend. I am certain that Bemidji State will play well and be competative. Am I 100% that they'll win? No. Will they get up to play? I have no doubt in my mind!
Let's go Beavs!!
