We've struggled a little bit - we played Eastern Michigan and won and played Kent State and won in non-conference games. We played Michigan State the past two weeks and lost. As far as the Big 10 goes, we're struggling." Wickerham feels the team has to have a good week of practice and bear down in order to be competitive in this weekend's games. "It would be very easy for these players (Michigan) to roll over and play dead and just say, 'wait 'til next year,' but hopefully they won't. I think they won't. We have a lot of confidence in them as far as what we know they can do and they have to find it again.

League 2nd Floor Buira Lins . - c "; t ' - WMPL Hockey Poll FRIDAY'S RESULTS Power pkay promising.. ...but offense needs tuning By SCOTT SHAFFER T he importance of last weekend's series with Ohio State was obvious. Win both and prove that the Wolverines belong in the top half of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. Lose both and prepare for another stay near the conference cellar. WHILE MICHIGAN (now 2-4) split the two home games with Ohio State, the prognosis for the rest of the season is not as black and white as either of the above scenarios. Despite dropping the second game in overtime, 4-3, the Wolverines showed several signs this weekend that they may indeed belong in the CCHA's creme (if not the creme de la creme). Coach Red Berenson has fine-tuned the power play into a successful unit. LED BY center Brad Jones, the Wolverines scored eight times on the power play against the Buckeyes, including five times in Friday's 8- 2 win. Jones added two more Saturday. Not bad for a team that netted just one power-play goal in 14 tries in a loss to Bowling Green just two weeks ago. Add a strong showing by the penalty killing team, which got an excellent performance out of Todd Brost and a short-handed goal from :Mike Moes, and the result is a team that should continue to be very dangerous when there are less than ten skaters on the ice. 'BriWg on the Penalties But a funny thing happened in the overtime loss. Ohio State got stingy with its penalties, committing only eight. Even the best power- play in the world can't score when it doesn't get the opportunity to play, like in the third and overtime periods Saturday. SO THERE is an other side to the offensive capabilities of the 'Wolverines. While the power play has been holding its head high, the 'rest of the offense was dragging its collective tail last weekend. The inability of the offense to put the puck in the net on Saturday was Afrustrating to Berenson. "Our offense is just not as effective in five-on-five situations," said Berenson. "We've scored 25 goals so far this year, 14 of them on the power play, and three were short handed. That means we scored only eight full-strength goals in our six games, which is not a lot." In order to score more, the team will have to make more of a dent in the crease than it did on Saturday. Twenty-one shots on goal simply is not enough. To remedy that, Berenson is toying with the idea of shifting a couple of lines to come up with some new player combinations. ot a hairy situation i ALTHOUGH Berenson is concerned with the offensive situation, the certainly has no need to tear his trademark red hair from his scalp. :After all, his team did register eight scores on Friday and have been ntscnred hv only one gnal in their six names.
