Wake-up Time

I'm still debating whether last night's loss was a good thing or not. I really don't like the stress of having to play another game to make the Final Five. But on the other hand, the Sioux have been riding a long undefeated streak and may have gotten flat. There's no question that MTU played a better game last night. They deserved to win that game, bad reffing or not. Thul had a bad game last night and that'll happen, at least it's not as consistently bad as most of the refs in this league. He was constantly in the path of the puck, that may be why he couldn't see the blatant calls in front of him. He was too busy skating away from people.

So which team will show up tonight? Will it be the team with new motivation ready to make a run at the title? Or will it be the team sullen with defeat and ready to pack it in for the season?
