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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
