CCHA CHAMPIONS!

Well....for the first time in as long as I can remember, the Michigan Wolverines dominate both Joe Louis Arena banners (whoop-de-do). The GLI and CCHA Championships both belong to the Wolverines after a 2-1 win over Miami. Billy Sauer was the man of the game in the championship, as Miami brought a lot of pressure to the maize and blue and outshot Michigan 28-26. It was nice to see Sauer prove that he can step it up in a huge game. One concern of mine is that Kevin Porter was completely off the scoresheet in the semifinal and final. That can't happen if Michigan is going to go anywhere in the NCAA Tournament.

So here we go.....it's tourney time and time for Michigan to make a run. There's no reason why this team should not get to the frozen four AT THE VERY LEAST! I'm tired of Michigan coming up short every year for ten years. It's time to perform.

Good luck to MSU with playing Colorado College in Colorado in the first round. If Michigan and MSU get out of their regionals, they'll be playing each other in the Frozen Four. Wouldn't that be something? Don't count on it, though...............
