It is actually 108 games after today.  102-0-6  That's pretty amazing stat 
one of those that is getting so much play that you know it is bound to end 
soon!  ;-)

I wasn't overwhelmed with either Michigan State or my own Black Bears. 
Maine played a good first period, but really expended a lot of energy and 
never got it ramped up again and Michigan State slowly chipped away, but it 
ended up being too much to overcome.  A lot of teams might have packed it in 
when Maine made it 4-1, but Michigan State would close it to 4-3 before the 
empty net goal that proved to be the GWG.

I'm thrilled that Maine is going to Millwaukee, I just don't know how 
serious a threat they are.  I guess everyone who goes has a chance, right?

(FWIW, Bad announcers or not, North Dakota was the best team I saw on TV all 
weekend.)
