Not sure because we have the Coach K of the hockey world.Comment

IMHO we have the Bobby Bowden of the hockey world. Unfortunately, Bowden's awesome run finally came to an end, and I think that Red's end has been approaching for some time.Comment

ND beat M 3-1 this evening, tournament over, season over.
First time in forever, Michigan Hockey has not played in the post season.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment

23 years. They set the NCAA record at 17 consecutive years, IIRC.Comment

here's an interesting take on the uneven season Michigan Hockey just went thru:
...written by the Brian that heads up MGoBlog. A lot of what he says here about that team mirrors what i had heard, but pins more of the blame on the lack of leadership among the upperclassmen.Comment
-
There were awfully low expectations this season, based upon a lot of attrition and committed recruits choosing to play professionally as opposed to at M. Those low expectations proved to be correct.Comment

They entered the season ranked #3 so I'm not sure how low expectations were. I do know that if you don't have a competent goalie you're basically UM football with Bellomy at QB.Comment

One of the main problems, though, was that Michigan wasn't playing defense for most of the season with any sense of purpose and were leaving the goaltenders hanging out to dry. I watched several games on TV both early- and mid-season; at times, if it weren't for our goalies making plays, I was almost surprised to see us not give up scores reaching double digits. Only a few times were the goalies virtual sieves, letting in really weak shots as if not even seeing the puck. All-in-all, while there was plenty of blame to spread around for Michigan allowing more goals this season than any other team in the CCHA, the goalies, IMO, were not the #1 problem.
This all finally seemed to change back in early-to-mid February, and Michigan went on the streak that was finally snapped Sunday by ND, a team that played well all season long. In that finale, Michigan ran into a team that really out-played them in every possible way, yet we were only losing 2-1 into the final minute, when ND scored an insurance goal on a take-away right as Racine was trying to leave the ice for an extra attacker. If anything, that final loss can be pinned on a suddenly impotent offense---I don't know if ND gave us a different look defensively we weren't expecting to see, but the M offense seemed to be off balance practically all game long.Last edited by Rob F; March 26, 2013, 05:06 PM.Comment
