    I think Gustavus will pull the upset. McLean is playing really well in nets right now, and they have some great speed. They need to stay away from Norberts on the physical side, and out of the penalty box, and if they can, I see the Gusties winning 3-2.

      The key will be giving up the first goal. The winning formula for all 3 teams Wednesday was giving up the first goal and then scoring the next 3 for a 3-1 victory.

      Seriously, I expect Gustavus to have good speed and skill but I don't expect them to have any more than St. Thomas. St. Thomas was very good in those departments and they wouldn't have walked thru the MIAC regular season so easily if the Gusties were better. I think the physical part of it will be the difference on Saturday just like it was last night. I don't see SNC coming out so tight this time and leaving the door open like they did early against St. Thomas.

          didnt watch Nobert last night as I know they have a top flight team, I watched the Gusties and man they looked good,fast,and the goalie made a few great saves in the last 10 mins, should be a great game......

                    Tickets are indeed moving briskly for Saturday's game, but not at the level the Peters Cup championship was.

                      A couple of articles in the paper and some TV sports coverage this week would certainly assist this effort. I would believe that the local stations could actually turn away from Lambeau for at least one week.

                          Seriously, your website and your local paper make little mention of this game. Does anyone in St Peter know you have a hockey game on Saturday?

                            And seriously... contrary to popular beliefs, Gustavus is not just taking a bus ride to kiss your trophies.

                              No need to kiss them. Just admire them, when you walk into the lobby at the CCC!!!
