This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Awful quiet for a week with Michigan on the schedule by wearendhockey

Hopefully that means the expectations are for a couple of quiet wins.

If Morris continues to play as he's done for the last few games, UM will be hard pressed to score. Just 2 years ago UM had the 6th best offense in the NCAA. Last year it struggled a little and finished 17th. This year it has tumbled all the way down to 47th. They don't have a single player with either as many as 6 goals or 7 assists. The Irish have 4 with at least 6 goals and 8 with at least 7 assists. Notre Dame currently has 9 players with double digits in points and UM has but 1.

I'm looking for low scoring games both nights. I doubt either team will pot 6 goals on the weekend.
