Generic Looking B1G Cup Muppets
[Patrick Barron]
Michigan's power play and Kyle Connor just drove Michigan to a Big Ten Tournament championship and an autobid to the NCAA Hockey Tournament. They don't need it, but they'll take it, and send Minnesota home for the year like the Gophers did a year ago.
And you can't have one without the other…
Brackets should start getting projected here as soon as the NCHC title is decided.

Honestly, the B1G is pretty weak these days, with only one real competitor for this title. I wasn't putting a lot of stock in it as long as we were mathematically assured of making the NCAAs.
But going into the third down 3-2, here in Minnesota... I didn't care anymore. I wanted this win badly.
Woo.

Temptation twice? I need the HWC!
EDIT: It's been fixed.

I feel like little Denard is preventing playoff time from being hockey bear time.

Screw not needing it for the tourney. This season needed a banner, and in weighted plinko, nothing is guaranteed in that department. Now "2016" will hang forever in Yost's high halls, and that's worth something, even if it comes from a goofy tourney in a strange conference.

Worthy point.

This is on point. We've let things slide a little bit the last few years, and it's time we reminded people where we stand in the hockey order of things. We are not a team that should be letting that much time go by without banners, esp. in a small & bleh conference. This was one we needed in a real way.

Giving up 6 goals a game to OSU in 4 tries is why we lost the Big Ten title.

The format is bad - should involve on-campus series, not neutral site one-and-dones. The B10 is a strange conference because it's so new, so much worse than anticipated, and broke up so many great traditional rivalries.

Bullshit. Especially when the NCAA tournament is single-elimination.

They have been on an other-wordly tear this year. I think they're something like 19-1-2 since New Years. They will unquestionably be the best 4 seed. I feel for whatever 1 seed gets stuck with them

Good chance we're in their bracket, unfortunately. Against North Dakota. I guess only having to face one of them is acceptable. But you're right, they must be the most dangerous #4 seed in tournament history coming in. And 4 seeds can do damage, as we remember from Yale's run to the championship in the spot we couldn't close down a couple of years ago.
A hard bracket isn't the best news in the world, but it isn't the worst. A few years ago we got seeded in the "bracket of death," with annual powerhouse Boston College flanked by a strong UNO team and a blazing CC squad.
We made it to the final in St. Paul.
