They even were smart about getting Langlais and the WMU dude out of the game when things started getting feisty. <BR/><BR/>I just think it's hilarious that we can have a goal disallowed when the play should've been allowed to keep going and praise the officiating. Your CCHA officiating, folks!!<BR/><BR/>I haven't heard anything on Winnett yet, but it wouldn't shock me if what you heard is right, streaker. Too bad if it's true. I'd still consider him a disappointment overall, but he was playing pretty decently. Fortunately we've got some solid depth at forward. <BR/><BR/>Pearce should be up for the Hobey--which makes it all the funnier that he was merely CCHA Honorable Mention. <BR/><BR/>Sauer will end up with the strangest stat line I've ever seen. GAA around 3, and save percentage below 90 his first two years, 30-4-3 with a sub 2 goals against and a .920 or so as a junior, then 5-6-0 with a 2 goals against and a .921 as a senior. People are gonna look at that someday and be like WTF?! He's going to walk out of Michigan with the career goals against and save percentage marks, which is impressive considering the goalies we've had. (He's only keeping those records warm for Hogan though...and then for JACK CAMPBELL!!!!!! :-) ) <BR/><BR/>I wish him nothing but the best down the line. I'd love to see another Michigan goalie in the pros. <BR/><BR/>That's hilarious about the linesman last night. I used to love when they'd play around with the crowd. Molina really got a kick out of our porno-moustache chants, it seemed like. It's nice that some guys don't take themselves too seriously.Packer487https://www.blogger.com/profile/04807642066292189138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-53665307768288740412009-03-15T19:37:00.000-05:002009-03-15T19:37:00.000-05:00I saw Winnet in street clothes at Yost, and he was...I saw Winnet in street clothes at Yost, and he was limping really bad, though I did not see any type of brace to indicate what injury it was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-17195278656289724932009-03-15T16:15:00.000-05:002009-03-15T16:15:00.000-05:00Despite blowing the play dead on what should have ...Despite blowing the play dead on what should have been a goal by Caporusso, Shegos did a great job officiating last night. Western came determined to play physical, which is fine, but that kind of thing can easily lead to flaring tempers by both sides and can get out of control if the officials don't keep a lid on things. <BR/><BR/>I agree Michigan is one of about 5 teams I think has a legit shot of winning it all. I have a feeling it might come down once again to Red's old nemesis Jeff Jackson. Fortunately we match up well with them, with UM having an edge in offense and ND in goal. The defensemen as a group are about even. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of which, Pearce should be up for the Hobey, with 8 shutouts now the season, which is the most for a NCAA goalie since Ryan Miller's 10 in 2000-01 (and he followed it up with 8 more in 01-02). He's really good.<BR/><BR/>Pretty amazing that at midseason there were people wondering if we'd even make the tournament and here we are in line for a #1 seed. Yet another outstanding coaching job by Red.<BR/><BR/>I really hope after the season Billy Sauer goes on to have a fine pro career, he was stuck in an odd situation and handled it extremely admirably. He'll leave behind I think the strangest legacy of any UM player. I was thrilled to see him be able to play in his last game at Yost.<BR/><BR/>Next few weeks should be fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-40611191017873085842009-03-15T16:03:00.000-05:002009-03-15T16:03:00.000-05:00since it's looking less and less likely that we'll...since it's looking less and less likely that we'll be in GR, I think we need to focus our attention on getting to Bridgeport.

I also noticed that McInchak was having fun too.<BR/><BR/>I thought the officiating crew was the best we have seen this season, although Shegos had his moments.<BR/><BR/>Tim: Any word on Ben Winnett? He left the game friday and rumor is he has a blown out knee.<BR/><BR/>Good overall effort. I am rooting for NMU to upset Miami so that we get the Alaska/OSucks winner.<BR/><BR/>Last push for NMU since I think that they are making a heavy run to the WCHA. I'll miss their spirit, but I won't miss the whining about how they don't get any CCHA love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-75254323957208034232009-03-15T13:22:00.000-05:002009-03-15T13:22:00.000-05:00How.

After the refs came out before the second period, Tunison stood in front of the south net and playfully smiled and pointed at the net, asking the students if he should go inside of it. When he did, he reached into his pocket, then reached down to the bottom of the net and acted like he had picked something up. He looked at the items in his hand, then skated over to the student section and tossed them a handful of candy. He repeated this before the third period, except with even more candy than before.<BR/><BR/>I thought it was really funny and I enjoyed seeing a referee (linesman) having fun with the students' antics instead of trying to block them out. I don't know if Tunison has done this before, but he's my new favorite CCHA official.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-73100826726649709682009-03-15T11:07:00.000-05:002009-03-15T11:07:00.000-05:00You mean Lerg is the smaller omission.You mean Lerg is the <I>smaller</I> omission.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-89027070661418182052009-03-15T10:08:00.000-05:002009-03-15T10:08:00.000-05:00For the second straight year, we have as good a sh...For the second straight year, we have as good a shot as anyone of winning it all. And, if it was not a one-and-done tournament, I would really like our chances. But, anything can happen in a one-game setting, so hopefully the pucks bounce our way this time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
