There are a lot of news stories out there on tomorrow’s Frozen Four. In reading some of the Michigan based new articles on the Sioux versus the Wolverines I do think that there is a lot of “sandbagging” coming out of Michigan as well. The Fighting Sioux and Michigan Wolverines are both good hockey teams and either team is capable of winning.
Contrary to public belief the UND Fighting Sioux hockey team is not looking past the Michigan Wolverines as some fans from other college hockey programs have suggested. While some UND Fighting Sioux fans might be talking about potential match-ups; because we can, we don’t play the games, this shouldn’t be equated to the Fighting Sioux hockey team looking past anyone. Having watched the Fighting Sioux hockey team for a very long time, this team is as focused as any Fighting Sioux hockey team that I have seen in some time; I would probably say since the 2000 team that won it all.
