Air Force Upsets Michigan

Air Force upset Michigan in the first game of the NCAA tournament by a score of 2-0.

It was pretty much your textbook upset. Michigan controlled play and outshot and outchanced Air Force by a wide margin, but Air Force was opportunistic with the chances that they got and the Falcons got great goaltending from Andrew Volkening. Michigan had some quality chances, but just seemed snakebit all day.

It's a great win for Air Force's program. They'll take on the winner of Yale and Vermont for the opportunity to go to the Frozen Four. If they can put together another game like they did today, that may be a reality for the Falcons.

Now we just need the No Dak hicks to lose; and all will be right with the world!

Both CHN and USCHO missed the most important part of this game, which is that the officiating was terrible. I don’t just mean the ridiculous no-check rules they called. I think the worst moment was when Tim Miller beat an Air Force defenseman down the left wing, and then couldn’t go to the net because the ref was in the way.

Also, I like Frank Serratore a lot, but someone needed to call him on his postgame assertions that they kept Michigan to the outside and prevented rebounds. Michigan was able to walk into the slot off the boards almost at will, and the reason they only had two shots on rebounds is because they missed an open net three times and had a puck bounce over a stick once.
