This could be one of those weird years where we struggle during the regular season and then STEP it up big time during the CCHA playoffs. I sense this team has the talent to do that. It's happened many times before...

Never, as far as I can remember.


I suggest you all do a little research and find out how long it took Red Berenson to make Michigan a perennial power. You may just be surprised.

I didn't say national, I said perennial....sheesh! The thing about them is even when they're a little down, they're up. That's perennial. They don't have to work much to recruit. We, on the other hand, are constantly on the road recruiting.

FalconFiesta50, I was thinking more of the omission of James Unger from the St. Lawrence game after a goal and an assist against Clarkson and Horrell, after his recent stellar play, sitting out for Clarkson. Jon Ralph will have his day,I'm sure, he is an excellent player.

BGFan, you show a great deal of analytical thinking, thanks for your contribution.
Red Berensen's first three seasons at Michigan (1984/85-1986/87) records were 13-26-1, 12-26-3, 14-25-1. He didn't have his first winning season till his 4th year (22-19-0)...didn't make the NCAA tournament till his 7th season, didn't win a conference championship till his 8th, didn't win a CCHA tournament till his 10th, and won his first national title in his 12th season.
And that's how long it took a school with a (practically) UNLIMITED athletic department budget.
