Page 12 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 28, 1988 Blue looks to keep Lakers down BY RICHARD EISEN Peter Graves and the rest of the Mission Impossible crew will not be making the trip with the Michigan hockey team this weekend as they travel to Sault Saint Marie to play the NCAA defending champion Lake Superior State Lakers. The same Lakers that won the CCHA last year with a 22-4-6 record. The same Lakers that only lost three players from last year's championship team. "This weekend should be a big challenge for our team," said Michigan coach Red Berenson. "(But) this is not Mission Impossible." -This puck will self destruct in five seconds. .THE WOLVERINES have chosen to accept this mission, and Michigan will have to gird their loins for the mission seems quite burdensome. Not only will they face the defending champs, but the Wolverines are only 2-11-3 while playing in Lake Superior's Norris Center Arena. Despite the lopsided evidence, Berenson remains 'They're a good team. But, (Lake Superior) has already lost two games. They're as beatable as anybody else,' - Michigan coach Red Berenson optimistic. "They're a good team. But, (Lake Superior) has already lost two games. They're as beatable as anybody else," Berenson said. So far this has been true. Lake Superior, (2-2), has already dropped games to Michigan State and Miami, the same Miami that the Wolverines swept two weeks ago. Last year, Lake Superior didn't receive its second defeat until the 12th game of the season. "Lake Superior is not playing very well," said Laker coach Frank Anzalone. "We're not on top of our game right now. We played O.K. against Michigan State and Miami."

Senior center Anthony Palumbo, who had 51 points last year, has four points this year. Sophomore center Jim Dowd leads the Lakers in points with five. While the Lakers have the luxury of coming off a championship season losing only three players, they have had to make up for the loss of right winger Mark Vermette. Vermette led the NCAA last year in goals (45) and points (75). Vermette, who passed up on his last year of eligibility to sign with the Quebec Nor- diques, scored the championship winning goal in over- time against St. Lawrence College. LAKE SUPERIOR is stocked with talent. Mike de Carle, who has played two games this year, was se- cond on the team last year with 66 points. Goalie Bruce Hoffort, last year's playoff MVP, has been solid with a 3.01 goals against average in three games this year. "Now, only 10 percent of the players have to find their form,"Anzalone said. "We're going to play well 'We're going to play well this weekend. I think the slump is over. Michigan is going to have to play very, very well to win.' - Lake Superior coach Frank Anzalone this weekend. I think the slump is over. Michigan is going to have to play very, very well to win." Michigan is entering this weekend expecting to be tested. Berenson said that everyone will learn something this weekend, and the players know it. "This will be a big challenge for us; a big test for our team," Michigan goalie Warren Sharpies said. "If we can go up there and make a good showing, it could build confidence for the younger players." Berenson is looking for at least one win this weekend, which would keep his team on pace for his 1988-89 road trip plan. "We've got to be a .500 team on the road this year," Berenson said. "Winning a game in Lake Superior is one step in getting us to that goal." 6 I Junior Arena. left The wing Ryan Wolverines Pardoski fires a shot against travel to Sioux-St. Marie this Anzalone said that winning the NCAA's has something to do with his team's recent slump, affecting both his players and his oppenents. "At the beginning of training camp, about 50 percent of our players' heads were not screwed on right because we won the championship. That's not enough to maintain the caliber of play we're used to." COINCIDING with the players' slump are opponents playing above their heads against the NCAA champions, thereby making the situation worse. For instance, in last week's Laker series split against Miami, Redskin goalie Steve McKichan played as if he were a brick wall. In the series, Lake Superior had 89 shots on goal and McKichan allowed only six to hit the net. This is the same goalie at whom Michigan fans were screaming "Sieve" two weeks ago, because he allowed six goals in one game. "McKichan was simply awesome. What he did last weekend was unreal,"Anzalone said. "I definitely feel everyone's getting a notch up for us." One main reason why the Lakers have only lost two games is because the other 50 percent with their heads HAROLD OWINGS ASKS WHY? 1. Why are fatal accidents up 70% over last year? 2.
