November 2, MTU/UW Recap

http://www.uscho.com/recaps/20072008/m/11/02/mtu-uw.php

Coming to the MacInnes this weekend is the #1 Ranked North Dakota Fighting Sue. This week the pollers at the USA Today and USCHO/CSTV has rewarded our team with a 14th and 15th ranking respectively.

This game will be our team's first test of the season. If we are going to have a strong season again, we need to show it against this team. The Misfits and other fans are going to have to be loud and proud. Last we swept the Fighting Sioux in their own building, the nearly silent Ralph. We are going to need to shake up their starting goaling, Jean-Phillipe Lamoureux, he's responsible for this nice goal at the Final Five last year. Currently he has three consecutive shut-outs to begin the season, on helped by a shortened game. Don't expect that streak to continue much long. He's easily shaken, harass him early, harass him often.

Gas for a trip from Detroit to Madison: $120

Watching the Huskies spank the BADgers again at the Kohl Center: priceless

The first major road trip of the year. State Sreet in Madison during the combined Football and Hockey season. Folks, it just doesn't get much better than this......well, yeah it does with two Husky wins! My first opportunity to see the boys in action and I've gotta say, I'm pretty pumped right now. Hopefully it's even better after the NoDak series.

I'm really glad that we have a decent sized crowd going. The team will be really fired up to see us there taking all the abuse from the BADgers fans and play their tails off. The more, the merrier.
