Friday, Minnesota beat the Wolverines 6-2 assuring them of third place and Michigan 4th with a BTT date with Notre Dame next weekend in AA.
M is on a NCAA bubble which places great importance on tonight's game and the BTT. It's unlikely the NCAA take 4 B1G teams and Wiscy, MSU & Minny are all virtual locks. It is still possible, but this one game good and one game bad will get you bounced. Not sure even Michigan's name will benefit them this year barring some wins.
Yesterday it was the Minny powerplay which sort of did M in. I stll question Minny's third goal for an interference penalty which was not called when our D got flattened in the crease by a Minny Forward and they scored. Perhaps our D's hand grazed the puck, but it wasn't obvious. Barczewski had another game where he made some great saves and others where I am sure he wished he could have back. Seems to be a repetitive story this season.
