Luca Vitale, Mizzou Hockey broadcast manager, sits with defenseman Tyler Williams ahead of the Gateway to the West Weekend, where (4) Mizzou faces Maryville and SLU.
The Tigers face Maryville on Friday night and SLU on Saturday afternoon at Centene Community Ice Center for the Flyover Classic.
The two recap the hard-fought Dallas Baptist series, which resulted in Mizzou finishing undefeated on home ice. Tyler discussed what Head Coach Bob Bucher's message was in the locker room during an intermission in the second game that resulted in the Tigers scoring FOUR goals a minute early in the third period, ultimately putting the game away.
Tyler and Luca also discuss how the team is approaching the weekend's contests due to their unique nature. During the regular season, a team usually faces the same team twice on the weekend. However, the Tigers will face the Saints on Friday and the Billikens on Saturday, which is the format of the MACHA Tournament and the ACHA National Tournament.
