We all know who the stars of each team are, but who is the biggest X-factor for each team in their hopes of winning it all!
Minnesota
1-Sidney Peters-she holds our fate in her hands. Well, not really because we also need to figure out how to score if we are to win. But we can't do it without Ms Peters.
2-Caitlyn Reilly- she's shown signs that she can put points on the board. And she has been looking pretty good lately. I think a lot of people thought she was the one that was going to end the game last Saturday vs the Bulldogs.
3-Lindsay Agnew- Lindsay has not found the key to scoring here at D1. But I like the way she looks out on the ice a lot of the time. And it would be great for her to pick up some points in the tourney to get confidence heading to next year (and to help out the team ). I'm really pulling for her!

Will Cameranesi be playing? An article I read on Icegarden.com said she would be.
It doesn't matter which player does it, the Gophers just need someone from the 2nd or 3rd line to step up. Every frozen four that they have won they have had someone from the 2nd or 3rd lines to score at least one goal and usually it turned out to be huge (Williamson '16, Lorence '15, Kortum '13, Erickson '12, Phillipczyk '05, Nichols '04). Who might it be? I'll guess Schipper.
Of course, to get into that position to win it all they're also going to need Sidney to be at her best every game.

Yes, we certainly expect so, as she played all five periods against UMD
I didn't notice that she even took any shifts off. There was one shift however when she was so gassed she could hardly skate. But I also saw Stalder so tired on one shift it appeared she couldn't stand up straight.

Ooooh that's a good question.
I'll go with Erin Connolly for BC. She's a redshirt freshman that started the year at D and was forced into a forward role thanks to losing a player. She's been really good, and the last couple weeks they've put her on the third line, and the third line has really clicked.
If they can keep that up it would go a long way toward getting a couple upsets in St. Charles, if BC gets there.
I don't think they're eligible to play because of one too few X-factors. In 1980 I think the biggest X-factor was Tretiak and his teams overconfidence and lack of respect for their opponent. I don't think Mark Johnson will let that happen to his current team.
