after Michigan falls in the Frozen Four and overtime to Denver.

Great season.

That's just great season.

It's hard to have sort of perspective in the moment.

But you said something that I think should resonate.

And that maybe we can take solace in is that, you know, Ivan Kovic is a freshman.

And maybe this was that this was sort of the the foundation for him to become this elite showstopper, right?

You know, this could be that moment for him.

And maybe that's, maybe that's what puts Michigan over the top in the end,

where they have an elite goaltender that, that removes some of the look.

Some of the, like you call the puck. And he did. And like that's the thing is that he did remove

some of the puck. He had some unbelievable plays. There were, you know, a pass across to a guy on the weak side with nobody in the way and he deflect. He played great for the most part. The first two goals, I don't put a lot, his teammates put him in bad positions with a couple of turnovers. So there's that. And then sometimes deflections, you just have to tip your hat to the opponent. Yeah. But I do. I did think a lot, I spent a lot of time.

Now, we are in a different era. So holding onto guys is a lot different than it used to be. And having guys come back for two, three, four years is a lot different than it used to be. Now, he's a little bit undersized in comparison. So maybe it makes it a little bit easier. you've got to get your NIL and all that kind of stuff.

Obviously, to hold on to guys.

So there is that.

Now, we have a lot of confidence that Michigan can do that. So maybe it makes it a little bit easier. You've got to get your NIO and all that kind of stuff. Obviously, to hold on to guys.

So there is that. Now, we have a lot of confidence that Michigan can do that. But my, after the big, you know, kick to the nuts and the turning the TV off after the game is over and you're like, here we go again. My wife's watching. I just like, this game is driving me nuts. I mean, that's exactly what, like, that's

Welcome to the playoff hockey, you know, overtime playoff hockey.
