The play-in game have come and gone. The Beavers won in overtime over the Bulldogs in the afternoon game, and the Tigers ousted the Seawolves in the the evening game.
Bemidji State vs Denver
I was impressed with the overall defensive play of the Beavers yesterday. Other than the short-handed goal, I don't remember them giving up an glaring odd-man rushed. This game really comes down to which Denver team shows up. Last weekend they had to come from behind both games to win, this time of year you don't want to make a living doing that. The Pioneers need to score first and force the Beavers to try and generate offense. If the Beavers score first they will gain confidence and can/could play a more of a defensive style game. I would like to see the Beavers pull off another upset, but the Pioneers have too much depth. DU WINS 3-2
Colorado College vs North Dakota
I was not impressed with the Tigers yesterday. The Seawolves had some great scoring opportunities early in the game and didn't capitalize on them. If UAA would have scored on one of them, I feel they would have won the game. The Sioux will have to adjust to someone other than Michigan Tech, since they played them the last two weekends. If the Sioux play there standard game, speed and solid defense, they should be victorious. SIOUX WIN 4-2
PS - Attendance seems be down this year, it was fairly empty in the arena, especially in the evening game. Without the Gophers in the tournament this year, the atmosphere is not all that good, in my opinion.
