It is hard to get a read on the team.  Everyone is well aware we need a win badly.  Middlebury is still a national powerhouse and a win today would be some what of redemption for the Blue Devils.  Tom Lescovich is starting in net again today.  Lescovich said he was ready to go as we arrived at the arena today.

Coach Watkins did shuffle some lines and wanted to get some more experience in the line-up.  We need to move our feet and keep up or again we will not have a chance like last night.

Defensive pairings have been shuffled and that is a huge area we need to clean-up today.  Our d-zone play has been less than stellar this year and has been a thorn in our side since opening weekend.  Obviously Bobby Kuehl blowing out his knee is a huge dent to the blue line.  He was our #1 defenseman and has been the last couple years.  I would describe him as solid and dependable.  Not flashy but rarely gives up the big play.

Don’t forget we’re still missing Nick Hopper (#1 guy at start of season), Jared Britton, Joe Knopeke who are all key players in the line-up.  Don’t misread my intention in that sentence, it’s not an excuse.
