I agree with many of you out there, it's time to forget about the seedings and
talk hockey.
To answer some questions about UML F Neil Donovan, he sat out a weekend in the
middle of the season due to a wrist injury.  I've seen him around outside of
hockey and he's been wearing a small brace on his wrist.  This is not to excuse
him losing his scoring touch or that Crowder may be sitting him for something
else (not hitting, but I haven't noticed Neil avoiding checks).
 
I think the UML-MSU game can be summarized like this: Lowell has too much depth
for MSU to handle.  MSU is a good defensive team, Lowell a good offensive team
and can provide three lines that can score.  MSU won't be able to hold off l
Lowell for 60 minutes.
 
If Lowell, advances (or even if MSU advances) I can't help but wonder how much
Colorado will be affected by the layoff since their last game.  Yes, Lowell
and MSU could be tired going into their 2nd game, but it takes some time to
get back the timing that is crucial in a fast-paced sport like hockey.
 
Finally, if any of you have web access, USA Today's College Hockey pages are
excellent.  Loaded with stats, rosters, match-ups, etc.
 
        Go UML!
