Now this is more like it.  We've all been waiting for this team to come around, and maybe Czarnik walking away has brought them together.   The defense really came through this weekend.  Hogan is still giving up rebounds right up the slot, but now the defense is doing an excellent job of clearing the pucks away.  They seem to be hustling and getting the hard work done along the boards.

The lack of size still concerns me as Wisconsin seemed to be winning alot of the battles down low in the third.  Michigan was getting knocked off the puck by the bigger Badgers, and that may hurt them down the line.  However, if this team keeps hustling and playing like they are, this season might have some hope. 

I really liked the way Glendening's line is playing, fighting along the boards and that bull rush goal off the faceoff was awesome. 

I don't want to overstate this weekend, but if this momentum can continue through the holiday break, the second half of this season is going to be alot of fun.
