Lucky is right. No way they go .500 They couldn't even hang with a team today that would probably be a middle of the pack in the Lake or Classic Lake.

If Breck puts their third line on the ice as often as they did against Lourdes they will lose, they struggled every shift, and stand no chance against LF. I believe it's an all Freshman line and it showed.
Breck will win if they (a) shut down Ben, (b) if the top lines improve their passing meaning not be selfish, there was a too much holding onto the puck when you had a wide open player, teammates are there to play with not skate past and around, I saw them do this in sections as well, and (c) most important, they must stay out of the box, D took a couple of dumb penalties.
LF will win if they play strong D against Breck's top line and work Breck's very good goalie, but this will be matched by LF's Sperl. They have to get in Rehkamp's way. Hanowski must do what he's done all year: dominate. LF has coaching on their side.
These are two good teams who will put on a good show.
It's a great week for hockey.
There is only one freshman on Breck's third line. That third line did not make a lot happen, but I did not see them struggling; they held their own and they hit quite a bit, especially the freshman. Breck does need to stay out of the box; when they take unneccesary penalties is when they are at their worst. Rehkamp is mad fast; he and Fulton need to come up big for Breck to win.
Ooops. The third line did what? Made stuckinthebox look **** and made bafata look observant. Way to go third line!!

Congrats to Breck, I knew LF shouldn't have played Ben's line at all in the 3rd against Virginia, they looked like they were playing in slush while Breck was flying right by them. And for all of you who are talking about a weak schedule it's still not the player's faults. Ben played for the twon that he was born and raised in and he played with the schedule given to him but even though he had an easy schedule I don't think many other players could have done what he has done over his 4 year career and the kid is a great guy, he doesn't care about his numbers and never has just like his brother Beau and his former linemate Jared Festler. He has what it takes to be a good player in the WCHA, not the greatest but he has the speed, vision and stick handling to be dangerous against any goalie. Hats off to the Flyers season this year and the 4 years prior but I don't see them doing much after this year and they lost their chance. Again, congrats to Breck and goodluck to the Flyers in the 3rd place game.
