Segment 1
How often do you get a haircut? Catching up on the World Baseball Classic, U.S. and Dominican Republic go down to the wire. Did the tournament structure itself for a U.S. vs Japan final? Anyways, Michigan dominated Notre Dame 6-1 in the Big Ten quarterfinals. A Notre Dame player runs into Ivankovic again, leading to a fight and a game misconduct. Credit Michigan for standing up for their goalie. Overall this game wasn't really close.
  Segment 2
Michigan beats Penn State 5-2 to make it to the Big Ten championship game. Penn State was aggressive early but Michigan settled in. Michigan had a lot of penalties but the power play held strong, but eventually they had a lengthy 5-on-3 that gave a 4-2 lead. T.J. Hughes sealed the game after Michigan's goaltender almost scored an empty netter on himself. That goal might've been Hughes' last goal at Yost, many of the seniors stuck around on the ice late. Time to wrap up the season of our old friends. WMU will get a 1-seed but lost to Denver in their conference final. Still some conference tournament games left, let's talk NCAA tournament scenarios.
