The others I expected. There was no way that Zucker would not play. <br /><br />I expect an EXTREMELY close game. DU might have more pure "talent," which could result in a goal or two. Much more important, however, will be commitment to team D, working hard, playing as a team. If Gwoz has successfully drilled the latter points into the players' heads, then I like our chances.
