Well, the final result of the Western regional contest between the
Wolverines and the Wildcats was obviously a heartbreaker for NMU
fans and a tremendous thrill for the Ann Arbor faithful.
What a game! It reminded me a lot of last year's NC$$ championship
final against Boston University. First a goal-trading contest, with
the score reaching 3-3 early in the 2nd period; then a Wildcat
explosion to make it 6-3 NMU; then a goal at 19:55.5 of the 2nd
period by the Wolverines to make it 6-4; a 5th Michigan goal
several minutes into the 3rd; the tieing goal at about the 14:00
mark; and then the game-winner inside the two-minute mark.
The Wolverines deserve tremendous applaus for fighting back from
a three-goal deficit--congratulations and good luck to them and
their fans!
The Wildcats gave all of us who follow them a tremendously thrilling
and rewarding season, maybe all the sweeter because it wasn't expected
to be quite as good as it turned out to be. For a good while there it
looked like we were going to Albany, but in the end there were just too
many penalties to kill against a great Michigan team that never quit.
Once again, congratulations, Wolverines. Wildcats--thanks for a
great season!!
Now that my personal favorite is not involved, at least I can just sit
back and enjoy the finals. Whoever wins I'll have some reason to be
cheering--one team from our region, three from our state, and one
from our league!
Way to go 'Cats!! Next season begins in 210 days!!
