Ferris St. Preview

I'll be honest:  I don't know much about Ferris, other than that they swept Miami 10 days ago when Miami was suffering from its Michigan hangover.  The crack CCHA scheduling staff managed to have Michigan play two series out of its last four against teams it had not played previously during the season.  I do know that Ferris had been on a 3-0-2 tear before splitting its last series with Bowling Green, which means they're still on a 4-1-2 tear over their last seven games.

Championship Math

Last weekend's (and Tuesday's) results have simplified the title situation somewhat.  Everyone but Michigan and Miami has been eliminated.  Michigan has 42 points with 2 games left; Miami has 41 with only a Friday game with cellar-dweller OSU remaining.  So...

Michigan wins with a win either night, or two ties.  If any of those happen, Michigan wins no matter what Miami does.  If Michigan loses both, Miami wins with a win on Friday.  If Michigan ties and loses, and Miami wins, Miami will benefit from an odd CCHA tiebreaker that gives precedence to total league wins over the teams' head-to-head record.  Here is the tie-breaker explanation from the CCHA.

Odds and Ends

Forgot to mention it last week, but Aaron Palushaj was named CCHA Freshman of the Week for his performance in the sweep against LSSU.

Friday's game is at 7:35 from Yost Ice Arena.  It will be Senior Night, and the chance for fans to say goodbye to Kevin Porter, Chad Kolarik, and the rest of the seniors.  Tickets are still available, so if you're in the area, head over to the game and soak in the atmosphere.  Saturday's game is at 7:05 in Big Rapids.  No television for either game; you can get the audio feed link from mgoblue.com.

Let's hope that Michigan locks it down on Friday night.  Along those lines, here's some video from one of last year's contests, a 9-4 Michigan win featuring a JJ hat trick.

 

Go Blue!
