THE University of MICHIGAN 2021-22

That was closer than it should have been... But a win is a win.

B1G champs, and surely a #1 seed.

When is the University of Michigan's hockey program going to face consequences for abusing Covid-19 protocols to cancel its game with WMU? You don't really believe that who debacle was made on the up and up, right?

Given the age of that story, if it had legs, they would have been stretched by now.

Even if we lost to Western in that game, we would still be a 1 seed somewhere. Count it, don't count it- it doesn't matter.

Maybe if you won your conference championship game instead of getting shut out.

#1 overall. Now they really need to earn that.

IMHO, this has to be one of the most talented group of players. But I can't say they are the best team- too many times, one of those tries to do too much thinking highly of themselves. I hope they can put it together over the next two weeks. They can do it.

If there was any part of me considering going to Allentown, when I looked at the Friday Sunday gamedays, I knew the answer is 'no'.

Why the change to an off day between regional semis and finals this year? I feel like the NCAA never cared about the in person fan experience, but this feels like they care even less (but hey, you could sit at home now and watch every game.....which is of course the tv $ that is wanted).

We got a regional draw that we should win, but part of my love for hockey is that anyone can win. We'll see what happens. Now to figure out how much my husband will dislike me for taking off work early to watch hockey and not waiting for him to get home (which will be around 6 pm)

Not sure why they changed it, but BB has been having an off day for as long as I can remember. Maybe they are making it the same as that?

As for the gaps- those are infuriating for sure in person. But for people who would rather plant themselves in a seat at home- the schedule is pretty darned good, since there are no games that are playing at the same time. 4 games in a row on Thursday and Friday isn't a horrible thing if you are a couch potato. And, again, this reflects the TV schedule for BB.

A friend wanted to go to the game Saturday, so we went, and it was awesome. That's the fourth Michigan hockey game I've attended this season, which I'm fairly confident is the most since I moved away in summer of '05. Good year for it.

Hopefully the next couple of weeks makes it an even better year for it. 240 or more minutes of terror.

[MichVandal]

Well, we won. And some of the offensive play was really fun and creative.

But it was also pretty sloppy at times. Those penalties in the 3rd period didn't need to happen, not sure why the team slowed down enough that they had to rely on penalties to slow AIC down, but they did. Hopefully, they can clean that up like the past two weeks against ND and MN.

If they can, the offensive creativity should take us to Boston.

I recall the day off was a result of the 4 overtimes in a regional game last year & that winner had to play the next day at a disadvantage - fatigue? Was it the UND -Duluth game? NCAA said the extra day was a student-athlete safety decision?

That being said, the team will be in Boston! Congratulations! I have had my tickets since August and am very glad Michigan will be there, too. Who else is making the trip?

I really hope your tenders “goalie equipment issue” gets resolved in 2 weeks….nice way to kill a teams momentum….very creative
Do you think the people watching the game didn’t now what your controversial Coach was doing?

[ZYanksRule]

Congrats to your team. You've got this Quinnipiac fan's respect, and I'll be rooting for you in Boston. Incredible team you've got this season. Hope you're able to close the deal.

Women's volleyball did it for all rounds this past fall. Basketball has done it forever. Women's hockey did it this year.

Congrats but I would suggest focusing on SOME defense before playing Denver. Holy cow.

Rand killed it himself but stupidly pulling the goalie
