Ok so IF Quinnipiac loses tonight OR Arizona State & North Dakota both win tonight, Michigan is out of the NCAA Hockey Tournament

As of this post Quinnipiac is tied with Colgate 1-1 heading into the second intermission

“He has taken a huge step defensively, he has a gift to see the game on the offensive side but he also understands you got to have as many tools in your tool bag and I give him credit.”

Michigan State Hockey Head Coach Adam Nightingale, on Issac Howard’s improvement this season

“Our guys have earned those big moments and have had success in them, dosnt mean it’s a given going into Saturday it’s going to take our best”

-Michigan State Hockey Head Coach Adam Nightingale after Wednesday’s practice, discussing the upcoming BIG10 Tournament Final matchup against Ohio State.

“Staying with it was the message to our guys after the game, don’t deviate from what we need to be and believe in what we need to be a good hockey team”

-Michigan State HC Adam Nightingale, after the Spartans 1-0 BIG10 Semifinal Tournament win over Notre Dame

All these guys are so well deserved. Really happy for Matt Basgall who has had a really solid season

A guy that maybe is one of the most underrated players in the conference (not his team)

“I think our guys should come in with a lot of confidence but respect on who you are playing

When you look at Notre Dame taking 2 out of 3 in that building (Minnesota) on the road, you know Coach Jackson will have them ready”

-MSU Hockey HC Adam Nightingale, after Wednesday’s practice

Notre Dame will play Michigan State in the semi finals of the BIG10 hockey
Tournament

Notre Dame takes out Minnesota in 3 games to advance.

Biggest upset in BIG10 hockey Tournament history in my humble opinion

Ohio State and Penn State are set in the other semi-final

“When they knock this building down and all of us are gone, I am gonna have in my will they better transfer those banners to the next building. Banners should stay forever.”

-MSU H.C. Tom Izzo, not taking 11 BIG10 Titles for granted after the Spartans 79-62 win over Michigan
