Michigan has to win tonight. Most important thing.

I think this a good situation that Michigan is playing bowling green while there are two good teams beating up on each other.

Anyone who takes bowling green lightly, is a fool. I learned last year that past games and records don't matter in these Playoffs.

This game between miami and western is the battle of schools with douchebag fans.

miami: A team that just showed up. They just won their first playoff title last year, two Frozen Four appearances in 2009 & 2010 which they blew both shots. Not much of a history at all before that in terms of success. Their coach is a whiny little snot and their fans are pompous and think they have an elite program. Sure, they have a great team and have had good teams recently. But they don't have the history nor the success that programs like Michigan, minnesota, north dakota etc. have.

western: Program that hasn't won ZIP since their one and only championship of any kind, a CCHA playoff title in 1986. Their fans too are pompous fools who think that one CCHA Playoff Semifinal win over top-seed Michigan last season makes them an elite program.

I hope this game is 1-0 in 4OTs.

miami on the powerplay again. Did miami even bring ANYONE? I see a small group of miami fans every now and then but that's it.

Complete breakdown on the PP by miami which results in western going the other way for the shorthanded goal.

western now leads 2-0 in the 1st period.

As the miami powerplay expires, they chip the puck in for a goal.

western leads 2-1 with 1:50 left in the 1st period.

At the end of the 1st period: 3 western leads 4 miami 2-1. western leads SOG 14-5.

I don't like western's fans, but I'll give em props for this. They were chanting "worst state ever" when miami scored. Good for them.

northerns hate Michigan, westerns are on the other side of the state so they usually don't like Michigan. EMU is down the street so they're a friend and central is 80/20 Michigan.

northerns and westerns is a term coined by Al Randall, so that wasn't a spelling error.

As a Wolverine originally from the Zoo, I'm obviously biased in Western's favor, but I've seen quite a few Michigan shirts walking the campus, and I've never had a problem with their fans except for a few thinking they originally created our hockey cheers (then again, many of our fans think we created our hockey cheers, so I can't be too picky).

western scores and goes up 4-1 on the powerplay with 10:13 left in the 2nd.

miami doesn't even look like they want to be there. Their goalie is getting the gate.

miami is back to their dirty ways when they are getting their butt kicked. miami gets another penalty on a hit to the head. miami gets a 5-minute major.

Haven't seen it asked yet, so, any online video streaming of the hockey game for those of us who are cableless?  I know it's FSD+ so I'm not holding my breath.

western scores with under 6 left to go up 6-2. miami has over 25 minutes worth of penalty minutes.

I'm more focused on winning championships so I'm not really into the whole seeding situation. I hope they get a 1 seed, but either way, I think this team will make another great run in the NCAA Tournament.
