I was hoping to see some impressions of the Michigan-Niagara game. This
is the first college game I've attended since the NCAA championship in
Columbus and I don't trust my impressions. I merely thought Michigan
played safely and patiently, not particularly aggressively, with the
understanding that not making mistakes over 60 minutes would bring a win
based on having better horses and depth. That pretty much worked and
Niagara's only goal with about 4 minutes left came on the type of chance
opportunity that should statistically occur once or twice in a game, but
not often enough to beat the top seed.
Niagara had outshot Michigan by 4-2 in the first 16-minutes. Midway
through the second period, shots were 19-4 in Michigan's favor. The
Wolverine's second goal (Kevin Porter's first of four) was a beauty.
Michigan's two misses on an open net before Porter stole the puck and
bagged his fourth were not.
It'll be interesting to see whether Michigan's style is different
against Clarkson tonight.
