Season Complete: What's Next for the Blog

First off, thanks to everyone who has stopped by the site the past week to check out the Tigers. You set the all-time record Friday for visits in a day, a lot from across the country which was really cool. Saturday also had an extremely high number of visitors, which is pretty sweet considering the Tigers were ousted the night before. I have plenty to write about the games Friday night and the overall "feel" of the regionals, but I think I'll save it for tomorrow and lump it together with the season wrap-up for the Tigers; I'm too busy enjoying my weekend to sit down and write for a few hours;) So fear not loyal readers, I'll have fresh content throughout the day tomorrow. For now, enjoy the pics from both games Friday night: my dad and I combined for some awesome shots including Prowler acknowledging us as he skated by and my dad's super-zoom on Bachman.
For those that weren't at the game, I will emphasize that the Tigers didn't play poorly Friday at all, they look crisp for the most part and definitely skated, passed, and had more intensity than the Spartans. BUT, it was made painfully clear why their goalie was a Hobey finalist. Any other guy in net would have allowed 5 goals at minimum, that's how many chances the Tigers had. But, it wasn't to be and they got valuable experience instead. They also shouldn't feel too bad though after Notre Dame, the team a lot felt was the weakest in the tournament and didn't deserve to even be there, cruised to the Frozen Four. DU was demolished and AFA gave up a late 2-1 lead and lost to Miami in OT. North Dakota and Wisconsin play tonight for the WCHA's Frozen Four participant; and for the love of all that is right in the college hockey world, I hope one of those teams wins the National Championship!
Happy Sunday and look for the Regional Wrap and season wrap this week!
