MEEEEEEEECHIGAN is going to the CCHA Title game yet again!!!! MASON OR BUST! GO BLUE!!!

More important than seeding for a couple places.

I haven't run all the possibilities, but I think this more or less clinches the #2 overall seed. Looks like BC, us, Union if they win their conference (woo Dutchmen!), and WCHA champ (either UND or Denver). Good for us if that happens. Eastern teams stay east, WCHA champ goes to St. Paul, we go to Duluth.

If Harvard wins tomorrow, I think that knocks State out of the tournament, otherwise they're the last team in.

I'm uncertain (haven't run all of the scenarios), but I think State is only for out if Harvard wins AND Western beats us tomorrow. Otherwise I see them in a tie with Western, and I think they get the tiebreaker thanks to higher RPI.

Lucky me, I misjudged how long the intermission would last, switched the channel and left the room for a minute, came back, and the game was over. No DVR, no rewind. Bah.
So glad we pulled this one out.

Amazingly, North Dakota now occupies the fourth #1 seed slot that has been a revolving door of Western teams. Union has taken the revolving Eastern spot (What's the best seed to have? Answer: The #2 seed in whatever region Union is in). We are suddenly locked in. It will be tough to turn around and beat Western, but overall the chances of making Green Bay are still decent. Not sure what opponents we're looking at yet.

Thank god.

I am exhausted from the game. I can hardly imaging what the team feels. BGSU's goalie Hammond was freaking amazing tonight. He was standing on his head all night. Stick taps go out to BGSU. They left everything on the ice tonight. When I am not rooting for Michigan, I will always pull for BGSU.
Thank God for this and spring practice starting tomorrow. This helps get the basketball dissapointment out of my head. Go Blue!!
Michigan can win this. I want this so badly. Let's pack JLA and drown all of the western fans out tomorrow.
I've been waiting to replace my 2010 Playoff Champions hat. Wanna get it tomorrow.
Beat western.
GO BLUE!
That lent a lot of credence to his assertion that one of two primary reasons he came back to college was a desire to "influence young men—that's what we do.
anyone have a copy of this classic game to post?
We did what we had to do. Phenomenal goaltending, some timely goals, and a great scramble at the end. Fun time in JLA, will (of course) be back tomorrow.
Let's pack the Joe, and raise another banner!
