Forward Notes.

-Alex described this as a 60 Minute Power Play for Michigan. While that was clearly an enjoyable use of hyperbole, it was not that far from the truth. Michigan swatted the Yellow Jackets early and often, getting out to a plural goal lead in under five minutes. The crazy thing is that they had multiple more Grade A chances that could easily have gone in, including a couple of rings of the iron. Michigan would score, get bored, give up a goal, score more, get bored, and give up another goal. Then, they would score more. AIC had FIVE attempts on net when this was defined as a close game. While there are nits to be picked, Michigan had a multiple goal lead for 47:33 of this game. 

-Brendan Brisson was the best player on the ice on Friday afternoon. He's been known for his great shot all season and it was no different against AIC. Power dropped the puck to him BELOW the dot and his just buried it from a tough angle. Beyond that, his passing was #eyeballemoji. He made multiple unbelievable passes putting teammates into scoring positions. 

-One of the more telling takeaways from this game was the offensive chance creation from the fourth line. Garrett Van Whye and Nolan Moyle got a handful of very good chances in the first period, alone. GVW was able to bury his first good look to give the Wolverines an early lead. Moyle had a chance even earlier, cutting his way to the net. Nolan also got in tight with the puck several more times, drawing the penalty that would lead to Michigan's power play goal. The fact that Michigan's "Grinder" line was able to create offense as well as their skill lines only reinforces the skill differential between the two teams in this game.
