Just got done watching Michigan/UNH on espn2 (4-0 Michigan for those who haven't heard). A few random thoughts: -- Did I miss it, or has the Michigan band stopped playing "Hail to the Victors" at every stoppage? I only heard it after goals and at the beginning and end of periods. -- Geez, I remember watching Marty Turco make spectacular saves against Maine in the semifinals three years ago. Four national semifinal appearences, two shutouts. But he did lose the other two. -- It's always hard to tell these things, but Mike Noeth seemed to do a pretty good job reffing for the first half of the game. But he missed Filipowicz dumping "Bubbenzweig" (as the espn2 announcers kept calling him). And I can't believe he only called one set of matching minors plus a misconduct for the melee in front of the UNH bench. Not that Michigan really needed another power play with about a minute to go. -- Okay, was I on drugs, or did I actually hear a "We want Weder" chant with Michigan up 3-0 in the second. Did the Wolverine fans learn that from road-tripping Cornellians as well? Coming up tonight: the cinderella team vs the home town favorite.
