Michigan Hockey NCAA Tournament Hopes..
Michigan is not dead yet.
They could find their way into the tournament, after all.
Union just plowed Cornell who is now out of it, bumping Michigan back IN at No. 15 overall.
If multiple things happen here, Michigan could get in and could get in higher than the 15-
- (7) Quinnipiac needs to beat (14) colgate in the ECAC Tournament Semifinals
- (9) Providence needs to beat (18) new hampshire in the Hockey East Tournament Semifinals
- (4) Ferris State winning tonight against (24) alaska-anchorage would boost Michigan's SOS.
Quinnipiac is not televised, Providence is at 8 on NBC Sports and Ferris is on at 7 on FS Detroit Plus.

A tie is a good as a Western win for us. We get in over North Dakota on the basis of a PWR tiebreaker formula.
It's hard to believe that we would already be in if it weren't for one lousy loss against a PSU, MSU, OSU or WMU. Esepcially that PSU loss on the empty net goal with 4 seconds left.

At what point do we have to assess whether it's the coaching or the players (which goes back to the coaching)? And subsequently, how do you gracefully and appropriately tell a legend it's time to move on?

This isn't like Rick Comley at Michigan State, who tanked the program because he quit in his head but kept coaching.
Red Berenson doesn't get fired. He has always said that when he feels like he's not the right guy for the program, he will leave.
He has two years left on his contract and there's no indication that he won't finish it.
We shall see Sunday night.
WMU/NoDak starts at 4:30 so at least we'll know sooner than later if we even have a shot. All other games we need start either 7:00 or 7:30
