Re: UND @ MN: Jan 15-16: Overly Hostile vs Underachieving
Nope.
Sioux come out with a quick start on Friday and, for a nice change, play 60 minutes and win 4-1. Saturday will be a close game, so both sides behave, at least as much as can be expected in this rivalry. Gophers win 4-3.
It's Thursday, to time to bury the hatchet (something the Sioux never knew how to do):
I think UND is gonna absolutely level Cepis (legally, not in a dirty/cheap/questionable way) at least once to quell some of the "hype" surrounding him, and to welcome to the WCHA/this rivalry. That would send the message that Cepis won't cure the Gophers' ails, since he can't even take a hit, etc.
I think MN overdoes it on not getting into the checking game, to avoid possible stupid penalties or dust-ups, on Friday night, but Sat it will be back to the grinder series the teams are traditionally used to.
I'll reiterate my thoughts that I think MN surprises everyone, including themselves, and sweeps the Sioux. I'll say 3-2 Fri, and 4-2 Sat.
