Apples to Oranges argument anyway I admit, but there I am sticking up for my school - even with the 2nd lowest academic ranking in the Big 10.
But on the subject of hockey, it looks to me there's a couple prolific scorers for NMU flying under the radar, they've been deadly against MSU the last 3 seasons at home, and there's some debate about who should be in goal.
As for us, the rest of the league + some WCHA heavyweights realized how much better MSU is this season and we can't sneak up on anyone anymore, as was the case in weeks 3 - 6. Freshmen now really need to play on a higher level. Eliminate mistakes and be more alert and sharper on the power play and good things can start happening again.
I like an even split of 6 points this weekend - whether by conventional means or shootout(s).
