Yes, Mush was interviewed between periods during one of the games--I think
the Ohio State game.  And yes, he did say that travel planning could have been
better.  He suggested that next year, perhaps the team should re-assemble in
Orono for a skate before heading south, and then travel together to allow at
least one skate in Florida before the game.

In fact, before the team left for Florida, Tim acknowledged that the team
might be a little rusty, inasmuch as the schedule allowed for only one pre-game
skate in Florida, compared to two the year before.  I suspect that all of this
will be taken into consideration when travel plans are determined for next
year's tournament.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that for half of the team, the Ohio State game
was the first time they had been on the ice (at least with the rest of the
team)  for a week or longer.  That's not good for timing, endurance, or other
aspects of the game.
