The puck seemed to have some sort of magic powers to stay out of the camera's view - especially on a few shots ... you GOTTA keep the goal in view when there is a shot!!pzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151255677244730415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-31117671183965133272009-01-31T12:15:00.000-06:002009-01-31T12:15:00.000-06:00CBS was awful.

At one point they had a Travis Turnbull nameplate up for a ND player, and the cameraman couldn't seem to keep his camera on the puck.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334749849501550910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-31798221472715629332009-01-31T11:17:00.000-06:002009-01-31T11:17:00.000-06:00The seniors are really starting to pick up their p...The seniors are really starting to pick up their play. I've been impressed with Miller, Turnbull and Fardig, lately. Apparently, the light has never clicked on for Narrauto (and, thus far in his career, Winnett). If Mitera can come back and play at a high level (which I do not think is a given considering his injury and his length away from the ice) we have a serious chance to make a deep run at the NCAA's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-28865657971281964212009-01-31T11:04:00.000-06:002009-01-31T11:04:00.000-06:00I kind of disagree with your take on the game.

They did not allow ND time or space in the offensive zone. That's unusual. I don't remember any odd-man rushes for ND either.<BR/><BR/>I thought Michigan had more "Grade A" scoring chances than ND too. ND let guys get wide open in front of their goalie a few times, and Pearce made some good big saves. I thought Michigan's puck support was good in both ends of the ice. The few defensive breakdowns they did have were only momentary lapses that they corrected by having guys in good position in the D zone. That's why they didn't get burned by the O-zone turnovers.<BR/><BR/>I do remember a few rebounds in the first period that bounced right over ND sticks, so maybe they did leave some guys open in the D zone and just didn't get burned by it. I'd have to watch it again, but my initial impression was, "Where did this team defense come from?" They took care of business and didn't rely on their goalie to bail them out. That bodes well for a playoff run. If they play like that consistently, they can hang with any team out there and rely on their dynamic forwards to make big plays. It's a winning recipe (see BC last year).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
