Alright, just watched the Michigan (10) vs Badgers game.  This was probably the biggest test by the struggling Badgers squad so far this season.  

Prospect Quinn Finley had a goal on 3 shots.  Finley scored with the Badgers down 3-1 after taking a really nice stretch pass.

This is where I'm going to eat crow.  My criticisms of Finley have been in his inability to generate a quality start when he gets on his horse and the fact he hasn't consistently drove the net this year.

He did both on this goal.  Accelerating at the blue line to get outside of the Michigan defender and then cutting hard to the net.  He had to protect the puck well here and with control and he made a nice deke to beat the goalie.  

He still lingers too much at the trigger for my liking but his game is still growing and Michigan is a quality, high-compete squad with experienced players and talent everywhere.

This was good stuff.
