Must see movie
I watched Hotel Rwanda tonight. If you have not seen this movie, I highly recommend renting it. It is a powerful recreation of a horrifying, yet true, story during the Rwandian civil war in the late 1990s. A good movie pick by UNICorn. However, the movie is quite intense.
It wouldn't be the weekend if I did not continue to bitch about the Michigan hockey team. After earning a solid tie on the road against a decent Ferris State team, we pulled a terrible choke job at home tonight. Leading 3-0 with 15 minutes to play should lead to an automatic win for any Michigan team. Well, for the second time since 1987 and the second time in eleven months, a 3 goal lead was not sufficient. Similar to our collapse in the 2005 NCAA tournament after charging out to an early 3-0 lead against Colorado College, the hockey team fell apart and gave up careless goals. This loss must have been really bad because it's the only home game this year where coach Red Berenson's postgame quotes were not made available on mgoblue.com. That's two straight 1 point weekends and we have not swept a weekend series since the second week of December. With this loss, Michigan needs at least 3 wins in the CCHA playoffs to get safely above the NCAA bubble. Even if Michigan gets out of the best-of-three quarterfinal and makes it to the semifinals in three weeks, they may still miss the tourney if they lose the semi-final and the third place game. Failing to win the best of three quarter final series in two weeks would end our season for sure. I'm very worried.
