hello fellow hockey-lers!!!
 
   Well as if the regular season wasn't enough... the rivalry between
northern michigan and michigan tech continues tomorrow night in
minnesota.the teams are so evenly matched that their totals goals
against each other were equal, 13-13. this is going to be a hard call to
make, but i'm have my predictions of the wcha tourney at the end of this
posting.
   as for the nmu/mtu battle... we all recall last season, in the first
round of the wcha playoffs, mtu traveled down here to nmu and the cats
swept them back to the copper country... but it's different this year.
they're on neutral ice, but I have to give the nod to nmu in this game.
first, nmu has been playing pretty well the last end of the season and i
do believe the experience of the past couple of seasons will help the
young wildcat team. on the other hand, mtu has the superb goalie, jamie
ram. and there's nothing more to say on that point, except that I wish I
could be in mn to watch the game. oh well!
 
   my predictions of the wcha tourney:
 
    wisconsin--------------
                          | wisconsin-------------
    minnesota--------------                      |
                                                 |
    no. mich.-----                               | wisconsin
                 | no. mich.-------              |
    mich tech-----                | minn-duluth---
                   minn-duluth-----
 
Sorry bulldog fans... but i do believe wisconsin can get it done.
 
everyone enjoy their respected tournaments!!!  and i probably won't be
seeing anyone in milwaukee.
