Not sure which net is 101, but I did. I was behind the net on the Michigan band side for the first two periods and then in the corner for the 3rd. For the Ferris game I was with the other Ferris folks.

Haha indeed. You got to witness the very rare goalie quack as well.

You know, my friend, I would love to see IF (and that's a huge IF right now) Michigan wins tonight, that we draw a 4 seed, and play DU in the first round. I would put that as one of the best of the best first round games. Fun as heck.
Assuming that our team keeps playing the way they are, which is a pretty big assumption based on the entire season, but not so much looking at the last three weeks.
But tonight is up first, and far more important right now. Some of you Cats can see your team as barely surviving the game, but I saw a team tighten up at the end of the game, let Ferris tie it, and then regain enough composure to take it to OT, and then end it. If you ask me, that was the hill that Northern has been trying to get over for years, and we can fully expect a great game out of them tonight- sometimes just getting to the final is a hurdle to spur a great game.
If Stewart gets hot early, it could be a long and season ending night for Michigan.
Should be a heck of a game, that is for sure.
The third place game is interesting, too- means only pride to Miami, means a longer season for Ferris. Can Ferris put a game plan together to clog up any Miami advantage? Gotta play out of your minds, for sure.
(and I would LOVE it if 5 CCHA teams get in, since we've had a "bad" year once again according to the pundits
)

Spectacular post! Couldn't agree more about Red out coaching Blasi. I don't think Miami was prepared for it and is why they looked shell shocked.

The thing both of these two, meaning Miami and Ferris, has going is that they played 4 times this year. They know what each other is capable of. Ferris, IMO, isn't capable of playing the game Michigan did last night. But they are capable of playing a style that can frustrate Miami and win a game like they showed in oxford early in the year. But Miami is capable of cracking that and winning like they showed in Big Rapids in January. Will be a good one regardless.

Well, playing around with the pairwise predictor, if you guys beat Ferris and we beat Northern, there is a pretty good chance we would be the last #3 seed, so we could see you again in Fort Wayne.

Re: The 2010 CCHA Championships 3/19-20: FSU, Miami, Michigan, and NMU
The only way that could happen is if the CCHA gets 5 teams in. While it stresses the integrity of the brackets, the NCAA has really tried to keep conferences playing each other until the final. It's not all that consistent- last year the WCHA had 3 teams in one bracket and none in one other, but one never knows.
I could be wrong.
the other thing is that UM generally travels pretty well- and while Ft. Wayne would draw more fans, enough will travel to not need to pad the Miami fans.
Still, the most important thing right now is to beat Northern JUST TO GET IN.

Re: The 2010 CCHA Championships 3/19-20: FSU, Miami, Michigan, and NMU
That's not really true. As long as the first-round matchups are avoided, the NCAA doesn't care if they meet after that. So if Miami is a 1 and Michigan is a 3, there's nothing to keep them from being in the same regional.
Of course, since Miami will be a 1 or a 2, and Michigan will be a 12, 13, or 14 (if they win), they aren't "natural" fits in the same regional:
1 (Miami/Denver)-8-9-16 (UAH)
2 (Miami/Denver)-7-10-15 (Atlantic Hockey)
3 (BC/UW/UND/SCS)-6 (BC/UW/UND/SCS)-11-14 (Michigan?)
4 (BC/UW/UND/SCS)-5 (BC/UW/UND/SCS)-12 (Michigan?)-13 (Michigan?)
This. This is true.

I'm thinking of going down tJLA tonight. I'm trying to call the ticket office (1-800-745-3000) but keep getting a busy signal. Does anyone know if that is even the right number? or what the right number might be?

During the televised game last night they were advertising for today's series 4 tickets, 4 drinks, & 4 slices of pizza for $44.00 That's a sweet deal!

Re: The 2010 CCHA Championships 3/19-20: FSU, Miami, Michigan, and NMU
It is a great deal (not sure about where the seats are though) and I continuously wonder what needs to be done to get some more butts in here. It's too bad the economy is so awful, it's too bad so many people have the attitude of "I'm not going to Detroit", it's too bad some of the teams don't travel nearly enough fans under the best of circumstances.
For 11 bucks you can see a couple of the hardest working teams in the NCAA in NMU and Ferris. Ferris will be playing desperate hockey to keep their NCAA dreams alive. Northern wants to win this Mason Cup so badly they can taste it and knows too another win will help ensure a more favorable seed. You also get to see Miami, who has only been one of the best teams in the NCAA for a couple years running and a great story all year. Perhaps most interesting is seeing a Michigan team playing, literally for the first time in years, for its NCAA life, in the very unfamiliar role of the tourney Cinderella.
Even with all the bad news economically in Michigan last night was pretty disappointing from a turnout standpoint. This place was as empty as it used to be for those Thursday games Notre Dame played a couple of times in the CCHA Super-6 against Northern and OSU in 2002 and 2003. I know the attendance supposedly reflects tickets sold, and obviously some of the folks here early left after their game or some showed up later for theirs, but just looking at where the pockets of seats vacated were in the nightcap there was no way that all added up to 9800 people.
One thing sports entities find out is that when people stop coming for whatever reason (economics, bad teams, etc) it is often hard to get them back without some very compelling reasons to return. Michigan winning last night will help with the gate tonight for sure, but can you imagine this place had the final been Miami instead? They did not have a lot of people in the building last night and it isn't as if Oxford is close enough to make it easy for a last minute decision to come up here in the event they were playing for the title. Seeing the sea of red seats makes me wonder if -- and we've all discussed this before quite a few times -- this isn't the beginning of the end for the CCHA finals here. Probably not, but last night the environment wasn't at all attractive to the casual fan or to someone who may love college hockey but have no particular interest in any of the four team competing here.
It is too bad that more people won't take advantage of the game here today, because for whats at stake these two games should be pretty entertaining. And the final may be one of the more interesting CCHA title games we've seen in a while.

For Michigan to be a 12 both Maine and Union have to win and then it would go to comparisons and Im not sure they would win it over main....And they have to win. Most likely will be a 4 seed and play out east.

Re: The 2010 CCHA Championships 3/19-20: FSU, Miami, Michigan, and NMU
I just ran it 6 times and only found one scenerio where Michigan was at 12. Now there was one where they were in a 3 way tie at 12 with NH and Alaska but I don't think they win the comparison. Its a really long shot for them to get all the way up to #12 and a 3 seed. However if it does happen, Miami would still need to win and Denver lose for them to go to Ft. Wayne. They would be placed in the regional with the #1 overall seed. With Miami in Ft. Wayne they wouldn't make the change for attendance purpose because their wouldn't be an issue.

I think this is one of the most interesting CCHA championship games in recent memory. In one corner there's the perennial bridesmaid, NMU, finally getting over the hump, and in the other corner is Michigan, a team that most people left for dead a month or two ago. I really don't know who to favor...personally I'd rather see NMU win as it helps my team in the PWR, but as for the game itself I don't know who to pick. I think NMU is by and large the hotter team, but UM has the added advantage of having been in this spot before. Should be a very interesting game.
It's also being televised live on Fox College Sports for those of us not in the vicinity of Detroit.
