I haven't paid a lot of attention to hockey this year. Do we have any shot at the tournament?

Surprisingly yes.
Although we are a game under .500, the Big Ten is really strong this year (thanks to the addition of #2 Notre Dame), so we have a lot of opportunities for big RPI-boosting wins. The win last night brought us to #18 in the Pairwise Rankings, and another win tonight might put us temporarily in the field.
EDIT: Though I should point out that we are actually closer to 32nd than we are to 12th. We are currently at the top of a pretty big cluster of teams, and there is a bit of a gap above us. So it is going to take road wins (like tonight, hopefully) and avoiding losses to Michigan State and Arizona State (the two worst teams left on the schedule) to make the field.

Michigan is now 16th in the Pairwise.
Actually tied for 15th with Minnesota, but the Gophers have the RPI tiebreaker. Considering that we came into the weekend somewhere around 27th, this is a mammoth jump.
With #13 Penn State coming to Yost next week, we have a great opportunity to jump into the tournament field if we can get at least a win and a tie.

GOAL Michigan leads 2-0!
Josh Norris with the one-timer on the power play just over 3 minutes into the game. What a start!

Michigan draws a ridiculous penalty.
Slaker picked the goalie's pocket behind the net, but got called for hooking. Ends a Michigan PP, now on the PK.

PK over.
Not sure Minnesota even had a shot on goal in their PP.

2-0 Michigan after 1.
Took over 9 minutes for Minnesota to get their first shot on goal, but things were much more even for the second half of the first period.

Michigan puts one in the goal, but it's waved off.
Looks like the explanation is that Michigan interfered with the goalie. Probably the right call.

Minnesota gets the PP goal. 2-1 Michigan, 4 min left in 2nd
Lavigne had just made a great save, but Minnesota puts one in after the ensuing faceoff and a scramble in front of the goal.

And now Michigan goes to the PP.
Let's get that goal back.

Michigan starts the 3rd with a penalty.
Cecconi put a Geauxfer into the bench and gave him a little extra business.

Some good opportunities for Minnesota on their PP but no SOG.

Open slap shot from the top of the circle gets snagged. He's been great this weekend.
