Frozen Four Muppets!
Michigan scored one fewer goals in the 3rd period as Quinnipiac, and 4 more goals in the other two periods. I'll not be taking questions. On to Boston in the springtime.
And you can't have one without the other.
Not taking questions.
Go Blue!
Wow, not sure why Quinnipiac pulled their goalie with 4 minutes left. They were dominating the period, then empty net goal and it’s over.
There is a trend to pulling the goalie earlier than it was done in the past but I agree it was a bad decision here.
Epic-bad.
Like the guy had money on Michigan bad.
If Quinnipiac had nothing cooking then sure, but they were dominating the period. The fact that Michigan fans were universally relieved when he did it says how wise a decision it was

“How does the other team feel about me doing this” isn’t a perfect metric, but it’s pretty reliable.
Michigan lost games like this in 00 to Denver and 05 to Colorado College. Michigan has been mugged by flukes and by stupid stuff. Michigan has had FF berths ripped away by bad refs and bad ice and OT and more OT.
So there was an ugly bit there. Life is a roller coaster. This game kinda mirrored my day. And you know what? You don’t win a title without some drama in a game or two or three. So, here’s one.
The scoreboard says Michigan wins.
Two wins to go.
Easy win...
Now I need to lie down.
Thanks for pulling the goalie!
MVP: Q-pac coach.
Ugly win is still a WIN! FF!!!
Whew!!!!
Seth is missing a Q goal - we were outscored 4-3 in the third but love the Frozen Four muppets.
It was hard to keep track at the end.
What a wild ass third period! Mel was right in the post game comments “we won, but gotta work on the third period”.
Frozen Four!
Man, Michigan teams are certainly piling up the muppet-worthy wins!
Ugly, shaky, scary - but they did it! Frozen Four!
Keep going, boys - let's win this thing!
Go Blue!
Thanks for pulling the goalie!
Frozen Four!
I love how Mel gave a shoutout to the WBB team, wishing them good luck in their game tomorrow night!
Classy. Love it.

Agree! Classy move by Mel, speaks to Michigan Family. Let's Go Blue!
My plus/minus for the game:
when not watching: UM +7
when watching: UM -3
And thus was The Dubliner banned from watching Michigan hockey forevermore...
(And, while you were watching, I guess... strange things (were) afoot at the Circle K).
Seconded!
Or is it (?)...thirded!!
NO MORE games for you this season!
Go Blue baby!
Well done!
Gosh, that was a "hold my beer" ending there for a bit but I'll take it! Go Blue!
Yay!
You know how after a tough loss you can't stop thinking "What if? What if?" no matter how hard you try?
This is the first time after a tough win I can't stop thinking "What if? What if?" no matter how hard I try.
That was some crazy shit.
Shake it off. On to Boston!
Go Blue!
I'll never take a frozen four for granted. Given the randomness of the tournament, I've always thought frozen fours were a better measure than actual titles of a programs success and 26 frozen fours is a lot of success. Here's to two more wins
(and if you'd be so kind, try not to nearly blow a 4 goal lead again)
edit: and just realized this means Michigan has the most frozen fours of any program again. 26 to BCs 25 and then North Dakota and BU at 22
Muppets like in a chain gang, just workin' non-stop these days!

well that sent me on a rabbit trail. never heard of/saw the movie 'cadence'.
Muppets! Fuck yea Go Blue!!
March 27th, 2022 at 10:14 PM ^
That was definitely a terrifying game, but after reflecting for a bit I realized thus far in 12 tournament games that only 4 have ended with a 2+ goal win. Michigan has 2 of the 4. Wild way to get to Boston but I think any of us would enthusiastically take that over OT terror any day

Lots of muppets these days muahaha 😏
Got get it men ….HAIL
