Even though Union won it's first ever ECAC Championship less than a week ago, it's felt like 6 years waiting for this game.
I'm a little anxious (call it nervous anxiety), as Union has never been in the position of being the favorite. I can't say I know much at all about Michigan St, but I'm hoping the boys stick with their disciplined game plan and execute like they have been for the past few months. I like the way that they have either avoided adversity or simply overcome it when it shows up.
I'm also hoping that I'll be making a road trip tomorrow afternoon.

Glad you guys will have someone there for you but really, that might be the shortest article I've ever read.
Re: Union Hockey 2011-2012 season thread #2
Just a note: UML also played PC the last two games of the regular season so we played each other 5 times in 8 or 9 days, with Lowell winning 3 of them. They just weren't the right three to put us in Boston.

Was named the CCM CCHA Rookie of the Month for December, and earned the HCA National Rookie of the Month honors for December as well

East Lansing, Mich. - Michigan State sophomore captain Torey Krug has been named to the CCHA Preseason All-Conference Team, as announced today by the CCHA office.
Krug received the third-most votes of any blueliner in the conference, garnering three first-place votes and 30 points. An All-Rookie team selection a season ago, Krug had a 3-18-21 scoring line while playing approximately 24 minutes per game as a freshman. Krug was voted the captain of the Spartans by his teammates during summer workouts.
Aug. 31, 2010
East Lansing, Mich. - -- Michigan State hockey coach Rick Comley has announced that sophomore Torey Krug (Livonia, Mich.) will captain the Spartans in the upcoming season, with seniors Dustin Gazley (Novi, Mich.) and junior Trevor Nill (Novi, Mich.) serving as alternate captains.
Krug is only the second player in Michigan State history to wear a captain's "C" on his sweater as a sophomore. Detroit native Don McSween was a captain in the 1984-85 season, sharing the captaincy with Kelly Miller and Dan McFall. Krug becomes the only solo sophomore captain in program history.
"Torey has established himself as a leader in our locker room, and it's a testament to him that his teammates voted him to be their captain," said head coach Rick Comley, who is embarking on his ninth season behind the bench at Michigan State. "We saw those leadership qualities in him as we recruited him, and we knew that he would bring that to our program. Dustin Gazley and Trevor Nill are two hard-working players who expect the best of themselves and the others around them, and they are great leaders by example. It's their conduct, effort and initiative that has established them as leaders among their teammates, and the vote was very indicative of their stature in our locker room."
This year with Michigan State, he is second on the team in scoring with 15 points in 17 games, 3 times more than the next dman on the team.

Since that time, he has only gotten better. If they lose this weekend, will be saigned by either Boston or Chicago within hours, probably Blackhawks.

East Lansing, Mich. - Junior defenseman Torey Krug (Livonia, Mich.) is one of 10 finalists for the top individual honor in college hockey, the Hobey Baker Memorial Award. The Hobey Baker committee announced its list of 10 finalists on Thursday evening, in advance of college hockey's championship weekend.
The Hobey Baker Memorial Award is given annually to honor the top men's collegiate hockey player in the country. It is based on the following criteria: Candidates must exhibit strength of character both on and off the ice, must contribute to the integrity of the team and display outstanding skills in all phases of the game, and consideration should be given to scholastic achievement and sportmanship.
"I am incredibly humbled and honored to be mentioned among the prestigious list of players," said Krug. "I have to give all the credit to my teammates, and want to thank them for working so hard day-in and day-out to help me become the player I am today. To our coaches - Coach Anastos, Coach Newton, Coach Miller, Coach Gilmore - their dedication and devotion to our program, and their effort they put into preparing us daily has played such a huge part of the individual and team successes we have had this season. I could not be more proud to be a part of this program, and I am thrilled that I can represent Michigan State in this manner."
Krug is the 16th Spartan to be a Hobey Baker Memorial Award finalist. Two MSU players have captured the award: Kip Miller in 1990, and Ryan Miller in 2001.
MSU's Hobey Baker finalists are Ron Scott (1982, 1983), Kelly Miller (1985), Craig Simpson (1985), Mike Donnelly (1986), Bobby Reynolds (1989), Kip Miller (1989, 1990), Bryan Smolinski (1993), Anson Carter (1995), Mike York (1998, 1999), Shawn Horcoff (2000), Ryan Miller (2001, 2002), John-Michael Liles (2003), Jim Slater (2004), and Jeff Lerg (2008).
Krug took home his share of all-conference honors, as he earned First Team All-CCHA and Best Offensive Defenseman honors for the second consecutive season. Krug owns a 12-21-33 scoring line, his best offensive season at MSU and his second consecutive season as the top goal-scoring defenseman in the conference. He ranks seventh overall in the conference in scoring, is eighth in assists, and 19th overall in goals. He tied for third in power-play goals (7) and owns the fourth-most game-winning tallies (3) in the CCHA as well.
Krug plays in excess of 29 minutes per game, and plays in all situations. With his game-winning goal in the final game of the regular season at Notre Dame, Krug shared the CCHA scoring title with Irish forward TJ Tynan. Krug became just the second defenseman in CCHA history - and the fifth overall in the college game - to win his league's scoring title.

Detroit, Mich. - Junior defenseman Torey Krug (Livonia, Mich.) earned two of the CCHA's top honors at its year-end awards show on Thursday evening, as he was voted the league's Player of the Year in addition to being selected as the CCHA's Best Offensive Defenseman for the second consecutive season.
"Obviously, this is a great honor," noted the captian. "I have to thank my teammates and coaches for putting me in a position to be honored by our conference coaches. Hockey is the ultimate team game, and I could not have achieved anything this year without the hard work and support of my teammates and coaching staff."
Krug, who has been honored by the CCHA in each of his three playing seasons, was a unanimous selection to the All-CCHA First Team last week, and had a history-making campaign as a junior. With his game-winning goal in the final game of the season at Notre Dame, Krug shared the CCHA scoring title with Irish forward TJ Tynan. Krug became just the second defenseman in CCHA history - and the fifth overall in the college game - to win his league's scoring title.
In addition, the conference coaches selected Krug as the league's Best Offensive Defenseman. Krug owns a 12-21-33 scoring line, his best offensive season at MSU and his second consecutive season as the top goal-scoring defenseman in the conference. He ranks seventh overall in the conference in scoring, is eighth in assists, and 19th overall in goals. He tied for third in power-play goals (7) and owns the fourth- most game-winning tallies (3) in the CCHA as well. Krug plays in excess of 29 minutes per game, and plays in all situations.
Krug's +18 is eighth among blueliners nationally, and he is fifth in the country in defenseman scoring.
Krug is just the fourth defenseman in conference history to win the league's Player of the Year honors, and the first in 25 years; the most recent defenseman to earn CCHA Player of the Year honors was Western Michigan's Wayne Gagne in 1987, a season in which he won the CCHA scoring title. Other blueliners to win the award were Ken Morrow (Bowling Green) in 1979, and Don Waddell (Northern Michigan) shared the 1978 honor with Bowling Green's John Markell.
To win, Union needs to box him in, good luck.... If anyone can do it Rick Bennett can but again, good luck, they will need it
Krug wins at every level, wins

Re: Union Hockey 2011-2012 season thread #2
As much as it hurts to say, I'll definitely be pulling for you guys this weekend. That the ECAC hasn't had a FF team since 2003 is embarrassing, but I fully believe you guys will be the ones to change that. It won't necessarily be easy, but I think Union has a legitimate shot at the Frozen Four (and even the title game). That said, focus on taking down the Spartans (who I've hated since their squeakball team knocked Iowa State out in the Elite Eight twelve years ago).
Go ECAC!
