michigan hockey in the final, U-M will punch a ticket to the NCAA Tournament and will also increase its unbeaten streak to 10 games — which would represent the third-longest streak by a Maize and Blue team during the past 10 years. That won't be easy, but the Wolverines are confident. "The further you go in the playoffs, you have to ramp up the intensity even more," senior captain A.J. Treais said. "You see that from our team. We're peaking at the right time." Michigan's 2005 team, led by captain Eric Nystrom, was peaking going into the playoffs, recording a 7‑0‑2 mark in its final nine regular-season contests. U‑M then swept the CCHA playoffs with a 4-0 mark and knocked off Wisconsin in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. However, the streak ended with a 4-3 loss to Colorado College. In 2008, the Wolverines, captained by Kevin Porter, dominated the regular season, putting together 12- and nine-game winning streaks in finishing 27-5-4. U-M went 4-0 in the CCHA playoffs and won its first two games in the NCAA Tournament to advance to the Frozen Four. The championship run ended prematurely with a 5-4 overtime loss to Notre Dame in the semifinals. This year's team will meet the No. 1 seed of the entire conference tournament in Miami, and will approach the game like it has each of the past four league playoff matchups. "I don't think our mindset changes," Treais said. "We're hot right now, but we're still the underdog." ❑ MICHIGAN STADIUM PERSONALIZED PRINT See Your Name at the Game! It's YOUR DAY at the big game!
