Moorhead (5-7-1) @ Thief River Falls (9-3-1) 1-20-09

Can Moorhead end their 7 game losing streak in Thief River Falls on Tuesday?

Last year TRF won. I am not sure if they played twice, was at the game when they played in Moorhead. This is going to be another close game.

Final Call:
Prowlers 4
Spuds 2

Which Moorhead team will show up? The 5-0-1 team? Or the 0-7 team? Thief River Falls finally found a way to beat Moorhead last year with virtually the same team. The last three meetings look like this (if I'm not mistaken)...

MHD 4, TRF 3, OT
MHD 2, TRF 2, tie
TRF 3, MHD 1

Prediction:
Moorhead - 2
Thief River Falls - 2
F/OT

Anyone have a final ?

Moorhead @ Wayzata L 0-1
Moorhead @ Bemidji L 2-3
Moorhead @ Minnetonka L 1-3
Moorhead @ Thief River Falls L 1 -3

I'm wondering, after how well Moorhead seemed to be doing at the start of the season (Pummeling White Bear, Bemidji, Grand Rapids, Roseau and Buffalo, as well as tying a very good Fargo team) what has happened to Moorhead? Are they simply lacking confidence after this losing streak, or what? I don't see what could possibly warrant going from beating a team 7-1 at the start of the season to losing to them 2-3 nine games later. Losses to teams like Edina, Hill Murray, STA and Duluth East are expected to happen, but it seems very rare that a Moorhead team would struggle this bad at this point in the season.

I believe lack of confidence is at the heart of their problem. In almost every game,they've had a similar number of shots or more shots than their opponents.With that many chances in each game,it seems like the main problem is the inability to finish.This is too good of a team to lose 8 games in a row. I hope it turns around soon,and I believe it will.

2 straight years for the Prowlers...what is this world coming to? Maybe Tim Berglund has something to do with the recent success.

A NUMBER OF FACTORS WHY TRF WON, TIM IS A GOOD COACH, ZANE PLAYED GREAT, MOORHEAD IS IN A SLUMP AND WARROAD IS GOING TO MHD TO DO SOME STOMPIN. THEY WILL PROVE THEY ARE THE BEST TEAM IN ALL OF NORTHERN MN. IF THE SPUDS AREN'T UP FOR THIS ONE IT COULD BE UGLY.
