UMich coach Red Berensen had the best prediction on the final game, he said (accurately so) that it would be boring. He was right, it was EXTREMELY boring. Slow. Lot's of stops. Not well-played after the first period and not all of that cuold be blamed on the officiating. Some will point out that LSSU had 11 power plays but will avoid the fact that UW had 8. UW looked really good in the last 15 min of the first, especially their agressive penalty killing unit which obviously tired in the second. UW outplayed the lakers at even strength in the first. There was hardly any even strength in the second. LSSU outplayed UW at even strength in the 3rd. I don't think the officiating was THAT terrible (with the exception of a few calls) nor was it discernibly favoring LSSU. Derksen looked awesome in the first period and decent (considering) in the second but the game-losing goal he allowed was certainly a tough one. All in all, he looke more solid and confident that Madeley. What are their draft statuses? -------------------------------------------------------------------- BRI FARENELL CLARKSON '95 [log in to unmask] "It's a great day for hockey." ---Bob Johnson 1931-1991 PROUD TO BE A FAN OF USA HOCKEY AND US COLLEGE HOCKEY.
