Western has star Jeff Lovecchio who is playing well. Also 3 NHL drafted Offencive players. Max Campbell and Ryan Watson being freshamn. They were swept by Niagra 4-2, 3-1. I see two hard fought games however the goaltending of Riley Gill will be too much for our Falcons.

WMU 4-2
WMU 3-2

your predictios...

more likely than not a split
big for each winer on each night, but we are capable of taking both

Icers can win if they can sure up their passing game. It killed them against ND. I like the make up of the team, and I think given a few more weekends, they'll mesh together much better. I say a split is likely though, and that is a very good goal to aim for.

I don't know about anybody else, but I feel that WMU and Alaska look to be the only teams at our level. Ferris State trounched Notre Dame 3-0 on Saturday. That was a series I thought we would take. We still have to play the games, but we better get our act together sooner rather than later.

How's BG's power play? Any better than the last few years?

the power play is better, but more importantly our PK is tons better, the players have the speed and sense to get int he lanes and raise havoc, and get the puck out of the zone.

1 for 18 is better? Well, I guess last year we did start 1 for 53, so, I guess it's an improvement.

I'll try to start doing these kind of threads starting next week:

Western Michigan Broncos vs. Bowling Green Falcons
