Game 16: Western Michigan at UMD

This is a huge game, for a multitude of reasons.

I'm not so sure I'd go to the "gut check" terminology, but UMD has been lauded by observer after observer for its talent. A loss here leaves UMD 2-6 in the NCHC at break.

I don't have to tell you that it isn't good enough. Or that it is going to leave a rotten taste in a lot of mouths going into nearly three weeks away from games, and close to a month away from any games that count.

Western Michigan played very well Friday, and surely will try to make life miserable for UMD again in this game.
