I think there are a few major keys to this weekend
     First off, I think maybe the biggest one is handling the transition. They obviously have big and athletic mids (Aitken, Conrad) but people also tend to forget about LSM Jared Conners. He is very big and athletic, and is maybe even more of an offensive threat than Kennedy. We need to make sure they don’t get unlimited 4v3 situations, otherwise it could be a tough day
     Another thing,(this kind of piggybacks off the first point) is that we need to take GOOD shots, with GREAT shot placement. I know Burkinshaw has only played one game, but I am familiar and watched him a lot his senior year in hs. Kid is the REAL deal, maybe the best goalie prospect I’ve seen in awhile (along with maybe Phil Goss/Galloway). I think he’s that special. If we take dumb shots or don’t place it then he will make us pay, as he fits in perfectly with the whole run and gun idea that Lars is trying to install. 
      Lastly, we have to be smart off ball. There’s been a HUGE improvement recently, but this is a different talent level. These guys can shoot the lights out, and they will make us pay if left open consistently ( although I’m sure porter will continue to be excellent). I like the way we matchup with them, and I expect it to be a great game
