Between this and the amount of people picking Marian in the Pickem' thread, I'm going to say..."not so fast!"
Stout is young, but still has a lot of talent out there and I don't think it can be dismissed as easily as some are doing. I'm still not sure if Marian is going to have the video feed up and rolling, but I hope so. Should be a very interesting game...
...... I'd say 5-1 Marian......I say 3-3 tie,....... if not 3-1.......... or 4-2 Marian.
If this were the first game of the season for both teams, I'd say 5-1 Marian. But you gotta figure Stout will be better than they were Friday night. Hopefully Marian doesn't think this one is over before it begins based on that showing. There hasn't been too many opportunities for MCHA teams to feel like the favorites when facing an NCHA foe, so it'll be interesting to see how they handle that. If Stout can hang on the olympic sheet I say 3-3 tie, if not 3-1 or 4-2 Marian.
There will be no broadcast from Marian, no live stats available tonight either.
