Actually, it continues to amaze me. Michigan will beat LSSU soundly all year but then, either in the late season, CCHA's or NCAA's, the tables are turned. I think this continues to weigh heavily on Red, the Michigan teams and many of the fans. Please feel free to refute me on this if I'm wrong. As an example, at Friday's game there was a couple vocal Michigan fans sitting behind me in what was a predominately LSSU section. (BTW, I'm pretty sure they were from Soo, Ontario. Are they relatives of any Wolves????) Anyway, the trivia question for the night was "When was the last time LSSU beat Michigan in a regular season game?" The most vocal Michigan fan respond loudly, "Never!"; a gutsy move considering where he was sitting. However, an LSSU fan behind him immediately responded with, "Yeah, we just wait until it counts." The Michigan fan had no reply. And that pretty much sums it up. Please don't mistake this as a prediction of performance in the upcoming playoff games. Michigan is still a very dangerous and talented hockey team and the entire upper half of the CCHA is a strong as I can remember. But I think Michigan's failure against LSSU in big games is as apparent to them as it is to us and it's something of a monkey on their back. Again, if you think I'm wrong, let me know. -- Matt Wickey LSSU '86 CIMLINC Inc. National Champs 88 92 94 [log in to unmask] Go LAKERS!
