But, JLA came alive in the second with five more Huskie goals propelling MTU to a 6-2 lead. Notre Dame went for broke in the third, pulling within 6-4 and 7-6, but my hoarse screams of GO IRISH! weren't enough to carry them to victory. (Their defensive collapses didn't help matters, either. :-) 30 January 1993, Joe Louis Arena, Detroit MI Michigan 4 Michigan State 2 MacInnes Cup GLI Championship Game 17:00 M Oliver 15 (Wiseman,Morrison) ppg 19:40 M Oliver 16 (Wiseman) 38:50 M Wiseman 8 (Morrison,Oliver) ppg 41:28 M Madden 4 (Knuble,Stone) 49:13 S Murray 5 (Guolla) 56:05 S Harper 6 (Perreault,Ferranti) ppg Goaltenders: UM Shields MSU Buzak Michigan dominated the shot clock for the first 45 minutes and never looked back. Mike Buzak (who should have been the All-GLI goaltender, no questions asked) played well, including snuffing two David Oliver breakaways in Ollie's bid for a hat trick. The second Michigan goal was a complete fluke as Oliver's shot deflected into the air, fluttered over Buzak and dipped back down into the net. A classic eephus(sp?) pitch for you baseball fans. And, in the continuing saga of the spelling and pronunciation of Anton Fedorov's name, the Joe Louis PA man scores a big zero with FEED-or-off. It's not like he's never said Fedorov before. :-) (Follow-up...THE DETROIT NEWS is also going with a somewhat phonetic version of FIODOROV -- the original spelling -- which leaves me to question whether I *really* know how to pronounce it.) The All-GLI team, as randomly selected by a group of white mice in a laboratory experiment: F David Oliver, Michigan (BINGO! Probably played even better than his five points indicate. Now, if he could only finish a breakaway. :-) F Kyle Peterson, Michigan Tech (Another solid selection, with a hat trick against Notre Dame.) F Brian Wiseman, Michigan (Mike makes a case for Wiseman as MVP, and he did score six points even though he was ill -- he didn't even come out for the 2nd period against UND -- but, IMHO, Oliver played better. I'll add that UM's Mike Knuble and UND's Jay Matushak also played well. Knuble's downfall was that he was much bigger in the opening game than the championship and Matushak's was that he was on the fourth place team.) D Nicolas Perreault, Michigan State (Huh? I'll grant that he was instrumental against MTU, but where was he versus UM? The only thing I remember him doing was taking a couple of dumb penalties, including at least one that led to a Michigan goal.) D Harold Schock, Michigan (If Jason Botterill is a boy in a man's body then Harold Schock is a man in a boy's body. Please don't tell him that 5'10", 175 pound defensemen aren't supposed to do the things he does. Jeez, I LOVE him! As for the selection, it was a coin toss between Schock and Michigan's Steven Halko. I would have given it to both and tossed Perreault.) G Jamie Ram, Michigan Tech (This brought a tremendous roar of laughter from our section. Can you say OVERRATED? These must have been the same lab mice that selected the All-America team last season. For the record, Ram goes 1-1 with nine goals against. Early in the third, my friend and I began predicting the All-GLI team. We figured Shields would get the nod if he held the shutout in the title game, even though Gordon played in the first round. Once MSU scored, the odds on choice was Buzak, who beat MTU in OT, 3-2, and held Michigan to four goals -- their second lowest output of the season -- while being pretty well peppered. Is there no justice? I've penciled Ram in for First Team West All-America again this season. He's as much of a lock as Charlie Ward was for the Heisman. :-) MVP David Oliver, Michigan John H U Mich (18-1-1)
