That's great. There will be a lot of parity throughout our sport, which will make for a lot of close games.

We've tweaked our lineup once again. We're still looking for the combinations we feel will be our long-term answer.

We should have pride in people coming to our barn in front of our fans. Hopefully that will be the case because we don't have too many games left at home.

Their record is a little bit deceiving. I still think they are a very good team.

I think ideally we would like to stick with a lineup here down the stretch. That would be the goal, but I'm not going to rule out the possibility of tweaking it if we think we need to at some point.

It's understandable that it's still a topic. Women's hockey is going to be in the spotlight internationally, and I'm looking forward to seeing those former Gophers out there representing the United States.
