St. Cloud at Northern Michigan

Hey Folks! Not a whole lot of time this week, but some great stuff on the game this weekend against Northern Michigan. Should be a pretty exciting match up. Here is what USCHO.com had to say about it:

Tyler: "The Huskies have too many question marks to predict a sweep and the Wildcats were very close to leaving Madison with a sweep last weekend. This one will be a challenge for SCSU, but I think the Huskies earn a split on the U.P."   

Brian: "SCSU coach Bob Motzko returns to the scene of his first win at the helm of the Huskies, a 3-2 OT win over NMU on Oct. 15, 2005, to split Motzko's debut series. After a season-opening 4-1 win over Alaska in the Kendall Hockey Classic at Anchorage, the Huskies coughed up a 2-0 third-period lead and lost 4-3 in overtime to Alaska-Anchorage. Similarly, the Wildcats left Madison with split after a pair of 3-2 contests after blowing 2-0 leads in each game. The Huskies lead the all-time series 21-15-1 but are just 6-12 at Marquette. It all boils down to a hard-earned split for each."

Oh...and Husky alum Matt Cullen continues to WOW with the Minnesota Wild. He has scored 3 goals in 4 games. Also, has scored 2 shootout goals in 2 attempts. For those with poor math skills, that is 5 goals in 4 games. WOW! Makes us all proud to say he is a Husky!
