Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
Quinnipiac/Boston College game on ESPN2 and the 3rd period ended 4-4. So headed to OT.
Michigan/MSU game will start on EPNU or the ESPN app.
BC Winn's in OT, they'll face the winner of this game in one semifinal. The other half is set, Denver/Boston U.
MSU up 1-0 with 5 minutes left in the 1st.
BC winner...
Thanks for the reminder, Paul! Go Trey!
Michigan up 2-1 with 12 minutes left in the 3rd.
2-2, 9 minutes left.
3-2 then 4-2 for Michigan. 7 minutes left.
5-2, 2 minutes left.
His teammates left Augustine vulnerable too often. But I have to say, he reminds me in a lot of ways of Husso (and not in a good way). He gets way down low when he's in trouble (just like Husso) and he tends to overplay to one side or the other (leaving half the net wide open). He's still young, so hopefully those things get dealt with as he matures.
I did like the play of Red Savage. I'm not sure he'll ever make it to the NHL, but he should at least be a contributor at the AHL level.
Fantastic 3rd period again by the Maize and Blue! The sickest assist youll ever see, by Nazar for the back breaker 4th goal. M going against 3x #1 seeds in the Frozen Four. Go Blue!
