How is that not traveling!
A friend of mine who attended grad school at Michigan, and is a huge Wolverine fan, sent me that video on Friday. Michigan trailed 2-1 at the time in that 2nd round game and went on to win 4-3; three of their goals were on the power-play. Michigan then won that championship over tiny Colorado College, 3-2.
