If I could have visualized it, yes.
What will be added to the list this year?

I predict that Michigan will completely clobber Miami, get everybody's hopes up, and then proceed to lose to FSU/NMU on a goal shot from center ice as time expires. Why? Because it's '09-10, that's why.
Actually in all seriousness the Miami/Michigan game is pretty fascinating. Key to the game is probably penalties. Hunwick should be ok if he can see the puck but holding up against Miami's power-play will be tough. He's a small guy and if Miami can get bodies in front of him they'll score goals. Staying out of the box will be paramount for Michigan.
On the other hand I think if Michigan can keep it a mostly 5 on 5 game they will create more chances (that's never been the problem for this team) and should have a great shot at winning. They have a lot of momentum right now and always seem pretty comfortable in the Joe. Anyway should be a fantastic game, I really have absolutely no idea who will win, this Michigan team has been too schizophrenic to predict with any accuracy.

Plaka Cafe, on Monroe Street, get off the People Mover at Greektown Casino. Monroe is the cross street just ahead, go right 1/2 block on opposite side of street. I also recommend the Detroiter Bar, get off one stop before Greektown (the Bricktown stop) and go across the street. $2.50 pints last year, good pub grub. We went there after the consolation game, asked if they'd put the UM/Notre Dame hockey game on, hoping for one TV, they put it on three and turned the Bouncy Ball sound down and the hockey game up! Among other favorites, Fishbones, Old Shilellagh, Detroit Beer Co, Hockey Town, and Cheli's is great. We stopped in for lunch, party of three, each had chili, a sandwich w fries and a couple pints and our bill for the three of us was about $42 for lunch for three with a couple beers...pretty reasonable for the area!

I second the Detroiter bar, also "Proof" on the corner of Woodward and Adams St. (NW corner) get off of the people mover at Grand Circus Park, and walk north. Great liquor and beer selection and not bad prices, and might be less crowded. Cobo Joe's is also a great little pub on West Congress across the street from Cobo.
Wish I could be there!

Okay, since you won't listen to reason, maybe a stat comparison will help. What was your opinion of Michigan's talent and depth last year? Better? A team that didn't win the CCHA regular season, didn't win the tourney but was in the championship game... flamed out in the first round of the NCAA's, won 29 games, 20-8 in conference.
They lost Fardig, Miller, Naurato, Turnbull and Mitera to graduation. They lost Czarnik and Palushaj to defection.
They gained Brown, Treais, Lynch, Sparks, Rohrkemper and Moffie.
Compared to last season, same number of games played (41)- Michigan is down 40 points in net offense production-394 to 354. Why?
1. Palushaj comprised 50 points in production. Czarnik, 16 last season.
2. The remaining core players (Caporusso, Hagelin, Rust, Wohlberg, Lebler) were up a net 26 points from last year. They were expected to contribute more. Czarnik contributed 6 points this season before he bolted.
3. The defense didn't contribute as many points as the year before with the same players.
My point is, their offensive production drop is really due to losing Palushaj early. The seniors that left had their offense replaced by the incoming class, and by the core players. It was the intangibles they brought (size, age, experience, leadership) that has made the difference this season- which has nothing to do with talent or depth. Just the same, Chris Brown was on the All-Rookie team. No lack of talent there.
4. Goaltending. Hogan pretty much had the reins last season. He was 24-6, 1.97 .914 save%. This season, 18-15-1, 2.33 .901 save %. Significant drop.
You have a team this season with less offense due to losing two players and not having the core players step up. The freshman class' production equaled the outgoing seniors, basically, but lack leadership, age and experience. The goaltending suffered. The goals against were still top ten in the country. The PK was still top five in the country. They lacked discipline. Those are intangibles.
You want to know why they finished seventh, there it is. But it wasn't due to "lack of overall talent, or depth." They underachieved.

Just an FYI, I'm pretty sure Greektown Casino is still running a $9.99 lunch buffet beofre 3PM. At least it was that way in Feb. It might be worth checking out before the games.

Bouzouki's.... Sports Bar???.... ok, I'll go along with that.
However be advised that thanks to the Detroit City Council's new ordinance they approved last month in a vote, that this "sports bar" cannot provide any lap dances or VIP rooms.

BOO! Lap dances sound like a great postgame celebration!
I also like Harry's, they have a free shuttle over to JLA for the games. Close to the lodge entrance.

Another stat to check out is goal differential, Michigan was still better here than anyone else in the conference except Miami. It isn't like the Wolverines are getting blown off the ice or anything, they just somehow seem to find a way to lose every remotely close game. If it wasn't for bad luck, the 2009-10 Michigan hockey team/athletics would have none at all.
