Major Task lies Ahead

Major task ahead against Illinois tomorrow:

The UMD Game was solid all around by OU. They need the same game with McMahon and Cooper doing what they do against Illinois.

Chase has to be perfect in net. They need more Michaels and Kondratek Goals.

Jeff Einheuser played his best game of the season last night Bertolo had that bolt of speed in him to create plays.

Demmaggio and Burke need to get some Goals on Saturday. When Burke Scores he does it in bunches Saturday would be a good time for that.

Last night in the Hotel the guys were relaxed but focused and know what they have to do they lost 7-2 and 6-3 At Illinois in September.

DeGeorge is out standing in net only 4 losses this season simply amazing.

Illinois is fast and dangerous they will make you pay for poor play and mistakes. OU must convert on the majority of the Power Plays and keep traffic in front of the net deflections will be key in beating DeGeorge.

I like that I have no heard anyone say they don't have a chance if you think that as a Player or Coach then you will play like it. We have seen the OU Coaching Staff coach some of the best games they have ever coached against the top teams and in the big games. I know they got right to work on a game plan and will continue throughout the day. They are focused.

Room for error is zero tomorrow. We practice at 3pm today.
