Welcome to Michigan Hockeycast 8.23, where we're putting it all on the line again.

Yeah. Alex, are you awake?

Yes.

You seem to be.

I'm not sure if I am. Not after last night. I'm not just last night. I feel like I've been a zombie for a while now. This has just been... I mean, it's terrific, right? Like, you just... Michigan winter sports just keep winning. And it's sort of like what you always want to have happened, and then it hits you and you start going through it and you're like wow i don't i'm exhausted and i i mean

and now you just people are scrambling and are they going to go on monday and i mean i well you know

This is my second podcast of the day.

We did what and probably have to redo it.

By the time people listen to this, they will know what has happened in the championship game.

Some people might listen to this after Michigan plays Denver, which would be not that helpful going back. But's a short week it's been a short few weeks

yeah monday and then Thursday we've got games and some travel for certain people so so last week

we talked about michigan's regional games and the other regional games and that sort of thing.

Pushing ahead as we tend to do when Michigan makes the Frozen 4 or using the off

By the time we talked next, which will be like the next week, 13th or something like that.

It'll be sometime.

There will be only a day or two left in the season.

So we.
