Michigan has a tough schedule thru Feb 11th: @ Alaska; MSU (home & home); BC and Tech or MSU; Lake State; @ OSU; @ ND; Miami; @ MSU & @ the Joe. They finish the season hosting NMU and @ BGSU.
Bill Crawford, LSSU radio announcer, on NMU hockey: "This is their MO right to the tee: get out shot, get out played, keep hangin' in there, just rope-a-dope it in your own zone, get it up the ice, bang it in and win the game."
Definitely a bit concerned that the schedule this year is so heavily slanted with most home games happening before Christmas. This whole thing could completely unravel if they're not careful.

It just happens.
nmupiccdiva: I'm sorry I missed you this weekend! I thought I saw you at the football game, but I didn't want to go up to a complete stranger and ask "are you Monster?" and have it not be you!
He'll be back after the holidays. If he wasn't coming back then he would already be skating with Plymouth.
I think he sincerely wants to come back hence his NOT playing with the Whalers.
I am thinking that there is an issue unrelated to U-M that he MIGHT be ruled ineligible by the NCAA and consequently Red does not want to risk forfeiting any games until he gets a resolution.
PURE SPECULATION, mind you. But it fits with the UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR I heard 2 months ago.
Section 3 (formerly 6, before that "F")
Row 1
Seats 6 & 7
Same seats since '93 - at the blue line on the glass
This whole thing could completely unravel if they're not careful.
COULD? I think it already has. 1-6-1 since Halloween! Does ANYONE in Division 1 Men's Hockey have a worse record over the last month? The record is indicative of the play.
It should have counted or at least drawn a minor to Union for delay of game.
According to the NCAA rule book, Rule 6, Section 18, Sub-section c -
"A goal shall not be allowed in any of the following cases:
12. If the goal cage has been moved or dislodged. The goal frame is
considered to be displaced if any portion of the goal frame is not in
its proper position (e.g., frame must be completely flat on the ice
surface, goal posts must be in proper place and affixed securely in
place with its pegs)."
The Union player could have been called for delay of game, but according to Rule 6, Section 60, which outlines what replay can be used for, intentional dislodging of the net is not one of the 11 things that replay can be used for. Thus, the referees could not call a penalty from the review. He SHOULD have called it on the ice, in real-time.

Well, we are saying the same thing. As far as speculation, I have heard different things, but yes one of them involves something that is completely out of Berenson's hands.

Another assinine set of rules that disallows a good goal (common sense here) and puts the judgement for a penalty prior to the review. Of course this was just the exclamation point on the Barnum and Bailey act officiating last weekend. Gawd, I hope tB1GTen revamps/upgrades our officiating crews. So, any time a player sees a risk for a goal, he can dislodge the net in hope of not drawing a penalty. At best,he disallows a good goal. At worst he disallows a goal and doesn't draw a call.
Just a microcosm of the luck Michigan has gotten lately.
On the brighter side for Michigan hockey fans, I found this on the CCHA website:
"Former Michigan forward Carl Hagelin made his NHL debut with the New York Rangers last Friday and earned an assist in a 6-3 win over the Washington Capitals. On Saturday, Hagelin scored his first NHL goal in the Rangers’ 2-0 victory against the Philadelphia Flyers." http://www.ccha.com/ccha_weekly_release_nov._28.aspx

For all you Hagelin fans, the Rangers play Pittsburgh tonight on VERSUS @ 7:30pm.
