    Relief to win that game. Funny how the game laid it self out, last night- we got a ton of great attempts, but no puck luck with the shots. Better pasing, and puck movement, and just a few decent shots.

    As the game progressed, we just looked to get more and more tired. The poster boys for that being the Wholberg, Guptil, and Brown line- holy cow did they not play well last night or what? IIRC, they were on the ice when northern tied the game. ugh.

    Heck of a goal by Trieas. And a BIG gift to the seniors.

    A note about Sparks- he's really getting going, I think. Moving a lot, getting himself open- I wonder if he could draw a few paniced D on him leaving someone open.

    One point will let us play a home series in 3 weeks. And 1st is Ferris's to not get swept over.

      That was a great college hockey game. UM won with their ability to make NMU pay for their mistakes. NMU tied the game at 1 and could have taken momentum to the room after 2. But they took a penalty immediately after and UM cashed in. A bad turnover by NMU in OT resulted in a great pass and a great game winning goal.

          I am definitely a Broncos fan next weekend. A sweep by them (possible but unlikely) and a sweep by us (likely but not assured) means another regular season title banner.

            Awright, since no one else has mentioned it, does any one realize that the Wolverines have now won 20 games in a season for the 25th consecutive season, an NCAA record - and counting!

                Things like "work" get in the way of important things. Oh well, not much to say. Can't complain about the results on the ice. I do like the trip down to BG, but will not be making it this year.

                This seems like a classic "trap" weekend. We might (probably) need to sweep in order to hold on to 2nd, but a third place finish still means a bye in the first round and a home series in the second. Not much to differentiate between the teams below us. Reference the current standings.

                  It was already in place in 2003, at least in the good seats. I met someone who had center ice tickets one day when I went over to section 4 to watch a period one day and she said that she had to "give" the athletic department $1,000 in addition to the price of the tickets so that she could get those seats. I forget her name but she said that she was from Brighton.

                    We need one point this weekend to make sure we host a second round game. Miami, currently in 5th, is 5 points back. They would have to pass us as well as State and Western, and walla- no home game at all.

                    I think we'll be able to get one measly point, though.

                    With they way they were playing, and what I've seen reported being said by the team, they do know that the team performance wasn't exactly stellar last week. Add onto that- BGSU has been playing some really good hockey this calendar year, won a few they may have not, played hard in all.

                    If it weren't for the little part about earning one point to host a second round series- I'd be a lot more worried. But the team knows they still have a shot to tie Ferris, which nets them the #1 seed. They know- all they can do is take care of their own games this weekend.

                          Well? WTH happened? We haven't given up 4 goals in a game since the 5 game losing streak when we did 4 times in a row. The loss, coupled with Miami's win and possible MSU win over ND means we could end up in 5th place. We'd get the bye, but lose home ice in the second rd.

                            When I had my tickets in Section 22, I do remember reading the season ticket renewal, and finding that it mentioned that anyone wishing to move to the sideline seats needed to be a member of the Victors Club, Captain level or above.

                              I think that must have something to do with it, although she did add that she needed to "grease the wheels" to move from her end-zone seats IIRC.
