Box score at MURedHawks not even showing DQ now for Vogelhuber...hmm...

Interesting. I know they were talking during the post-game that Rico may challenge that since it was the end of the game and players were leaving both benches anyway.

Wait... I just looked. It still shows his penalty for "LEAVING BENCH" and I believe that's all it showed last night, as well. The other box scores are still specifically showing the DQ. Doubt there was any change. Plus, I believe they only assessed the DQ after reviewing video to confirm he left the bench to get involved.

It's probably a DQ. And, the number of dumb plays by Vogelhuber this year continues to climb. Swap out his experience for Czarnik's talent...guess that's a pretty even trade.

They should head over to MiamiHawkTalk... they'd fit right in. Few hockey bands can compete with the Michigan hockey band, and Miami is not one of those few. However, Miami's hockey band is definitely better than the majority of others I've seen/heard (and I am certainly unbiased ). Of course, as long as they're playing the Miami Fight Song during the games, they'll sound great to me!

play the Chief Song!

Was anyone else bothered by 'play to not lose' strategy in the 3rd? I loved the first two periods, but I was less than thrilled to witness them dumping it into the Michigan zone and hold the middle while Mich gained possession, got full speed and brought it into the Miami zone. It felt like a 20 minute penalty kill.

Look, I get it when you outclass the opposition, but not against Michigan. They have the ability to change the gqme on a dime. They did pick it up in the last couple mminutes (namely Reilly Smith), butI just wanted to see agression throughall 20 minutes.

There were definitely a few times in the third where it looked like they were pulling back and hoping to ride out the lead, but I thought overall they kept decent pressure up through the end. But yes, Reilly Smith was working incredibly hard out there. That 10-15 seconds in the final minutes where he single-handedly kept the puck in the Michigan zone, forcing Hunwick to stay in net and frustrating the entire Michigan squad, was an amazing individual effort.

Excellent effort by Miami tonight battling a ton of adversity...2-0 deficit and two disallowed goals. As much as Michigan "fans" complain about the '10 NCAA Regional, Miami got shafted out of a victory tonight (not that any of them will admit as such). The tie and shootout win will have to do. Miami is now 8-3-1 in the last 12 against the Wolverines.

What was the reason for the overturned goal? Something about the skate directing the puck in the goal, or the BIGGS entering the crease before the puck (I know this rule was overturned in the NHL, but not sure about NCAA).

Either way, it was great to see this team with some fire power (now if they could fix those clearing errors). I'm hoping to see that Paulazzo goal on youtube.

Most on here are sad that the Big Ten Hockey Conference will threaten the fabric of college hockey. I'm sad because it's going to take away our free wins against Michigan every year. Woooooooooooooooooooooop
