How close was Team 100 to Michigan’s first National Championship in over 20 years? One power play? One rolled puck on the stick of Luke Hughes?
The Wolverines lost in the Frozen Four in overtime to a Denver team who just won the title by four goals against Minnesota State. Single elimination hockey is unforgiving and although I still believe the Wolverines were the best team in college hockey this season, they are not champions.
Despite falling short in the NCAA Tournament, this season was far from a disappointment for a Michigan team that was anointed as the team after a catalytic triumvirate set forth towering expectations.
