Michigan played its 21st annual Blue-White game on Friday night, with the White defeating the Blue, 6-5. Last season, the B-W final was 2-1 as the UM defense was able to shut down the offense. This season, it's uncertain if the UM defense is capable of shutting down anyone. :-) Michigan's 1993-94 roster appears to be set at: 2 Mark Sakala D 6-0 195 Jr 3 Alan Sinclair D 6-3 220 Jr 4 Chris Frescoln D 6-3 190 Fr 5 Peter Bourke D 6-0 185 Fr 6 Harold Schock D 5-10 175 Fr 7 Ron Sacka C 5-10 175 Jr 8 Drew Denzin F/D 6-2 191 So 9 Brendan Morrison C 5-10 175 Fr 10 Kevin Hilton C 5-11 170 So 11 Rick Willis LW 6-0 190 Jr 12 Mike Stone(A) LW 6-0 185 Sr 14 Anton Fedorov LW 6-0 195 Jr 15 Mike Legg C 6-0 175 Fr 16 Brian Wiseman(C) C 5-6 180 Sr 17 Ryan Sittler LW 6-2 200 So 18 John Madden LW 5-11 180 Fr 19 Jason Botterill RW 6-3 205 Fr 20 John Arnold RW 5-10 192 So 22 Mike Knuble RW 6-3 210 Jr 23 Tim Hogan D 6-2 195 Jr 24 Steven Halko D 6-1 185 So 26 David Oliver(A) RW 5-11 185 Sr 27 Blake Sloan D 5-10 185 Fr 28 Warren Luhning RW 6-2 190 Fr 30 Al Loges G 6-2 185 Jr 31 Steve Shields G 6-3 210 Sr 35 Chris Gordon G 6-1 165 Sr Best bet for lines is: 1 Sittler-Wiseman-Oliver 2 Stone-Morrison-Knuble 3 Madden-Hilton-Botterill 4 Willis-Sacka-Luhning 5 Fedorov-Legg-Arnold The defensive pairs are a big ?, but I would play them: 1 Frescoln-Halko 2 Sakala-Hogan 3 Sloan-Sinclair 4 Schock-Bourke Of course, the goaltending is a given...Shields started 39 of 40 games last season. There will probably be a seven or eight man defensive rotation, with only Halko a guarantee to dress every night. Overall, this means 6-8 freshman will play on any given night. Morrison, Madden and Botterill look like they can step right in, but again, the defense is a ?. I'm looking/hoping for a big physical debut from Frescoln, ala Aaron Ward in 1990-91. Speaking of Ward, he netted his first NHL goal in Anaheim the other night. It was the first regular season goal scored at The Pond. John H U Mich
