i think we'll be fine ultimately. very surprised we got owned by miami at yost since it is yost and the crowd was into it. two thoughts though:
1) caporusso needs to step up. he's the big-name scorer on the team. i don't want to say it's all on him, but he needs to put in some points on a weekend like that
2)llwellyn still takes ridiculous penalties. he should stop doing that

Michigan lacks a true "go-to" finisher type player. Several of the returning players have disappeared in high profile games. The goaltending at times is terrific, but Hogan has yet to play a game where he has not yielded one soft goal. The defense, which was suppose to be the strength of the team, is a turnover machine.The PK has been good, but the PP is abysmal. Talent is there, but this early difficult schedule has not allowed this team to gel. Hope they find their puck luck this weekend.

I was expecting Michigan to at least split this series. I have to admit that I was shocked by the end result.

Red didn't condemn the players for their lack of effort so much as them resorting to Cromagnon style play, reminiscent of the Tropp incident last season. The Wolvs were out there trying to end someones season. Miami on the otherhand looked like the class of the nation. 13 shots on Friday is very misleading, since they were pretty much all high quality attempts, then they switched to a defensive style game in the second and blocked countless shots and held Michigan to very few grade a chances. Hats off to the 'Skins, they deserved all 6 points this weekend. It wasn't so much that we (Michigan) played awful, but Miami made us look awful.

Friday reminded me of Air Force last year. Played ok, outshot them, but what difference does that make if 95% of your shots are at his chest.
Saturday was different. They came out playing better fundamental hockey but absolutely lost their minds when Miami pulled away. It was to the point where they should be embarassed for more than just the score. Llewellyn and Langlais...I don't even know what to say.
Miami deserves some credit though. Their defense was rock solid. Maybe that #1 ranking was more justified than we thought. Michigan will be fine.
