Welcome to Michigan Hockeycast 7.21, where we have some road graders, cheese graters, and test graders.

Music All right, it has been brought to my attention that we have not formally told you that Michigan has not made the NCAA tournament.

If you're just finding this out right now, I'm extremely baffled because somehow you found our podcast, but not the rest of the internet that would have told you that Michigan did not

make the NCAA tournament and other teams have made it and played games, many games, actually,

that we can discuss. Is that good enough? Yeah, banking on Kynepiak to win the ECAC title

is a... Did you, Were you watching that whole?

Um, yeah.

Or did you have it on and you're like, oh, I don't want to pay attention?

No, I was watching the third period just to see if, you know, they could get it done.

They were so close.

They were, and they were going on a power play seeming to end the game with a one-goal lead,

and you'd figure a team like Quinnipiac of all teams would be an expert on how to shut it down.

Yeah, and got away from them.

They gave up an odd man rush, and just a really bad goal.

The only thing that I'll remember about watching the

EAC tournament for that one game was that somehow the EACCAC ESPN Plus broadcast is where Pierre

McGuire has washed up. I turned that on and I was listening. I'm like, is that Pierre McGuire?

You texted me that.

I was like, they can't be.

You're just, are you trolling me with something?

Is he doing the ECAC games now?

Apparently he was.
