Re: Michigan Wolverines 2011-2012 hockey thread
The Saints dominated the first twelve minutes, actually- and scored first on a 2x1 and had a 9-2 shot advantage. After that Michigan woke up and just outskated them. There were some hightlight reel goals and some weak goaltending, too, which is why Weninger got yanked. The three late first period goals really set STL on their heels. If it wasn't for some dumb penalties, they probably wouldn't have had the chance to even be close at 5-2. The third period started at 7-3 and both teams slept through the first ten minutes. Then, Michigan scored the eighth goal and it was like the Saints quit skating. Michigan took it to them the rest of the period. Flanagan came to play tonight for the Saints, but that was about it. SOG were fairly even, but that was mostly due to the Saints PP chances. Michigan dominated the game, but I wouldn't say that this will be indicative of what they'll do to a more talented opponent. The Wolverines have eaten the cupcakes (Niagara, Bentley and St. Lawrence) and now need to show what they have on the road next weekend at NMU before concluding the month at Yost against Ferris.
