Not sure what there means. I went to Miami and then to Northwestern for grad school... now I live and work in the Detroit Area and go to a handfull of Michigan games a year.
Michigan hasn't been hit as hard by the OHL... just in net... and you ended up with Hunwick. Campbell hasn't exactly lit up the OHL in net (although Gibson has been pretty good).
BU/NoDak have been more offected losing skaters.
Yeah Michigan has had plenty of guys leave early... but that's for pro hockey... and as an "elite" team it is going to be a problem you will always have.
Merrill is lazy and plays when he wants to... when he's not on the shelf for smoking pot.
He looked awful against WMU in the CCHA Championship, awful against Bowling Green in the regular season and awful against Cornell. Go ahead and rewatch the video of that game-winning goal by Craig... look at him jumping out of the way of the puck. And oh yeah... he missed the entire 1st half of the season...
WMU's D outscored yours this season 23-19 and frankly no one is calamoring for yours to leave early and go pro.
I didn't see a single Wolverine D on the All-Conference list, yet FSU had one and WMU had 2.
I get it... you're Michigan and blah blah blah... but just because a player has a block M on his jersey... doesn't make him a great player. And frankly... you guys just don't have a lot of great players anymore.
Michigan isn't getting the elite scoring talent like they used to. No Chad Kolariks.. no Kevin Porters. Those kids are now going to Miami, NoDak, BC, etc.
Good luck with the goalie situation too next year. Rutledge is gonna need some work... and then you have a 21 year old that couldn't hack it in the USHL.

No one seriously thought Domi was going to college.
I moved to Metro Detroit in 2005 when you guys had those studs. Hensik, Porter, Palushaj, etc.
That was a lot of fun to watch.

Very little words english skills required. Glad to know that grammar is a big sticking point here, though.

Your D aren't as good as you think.
