Michigan
Date of Game Against Cornell: November 24
Result: 5-1 Cornell
Analysis: Last week, we mentioned that Michigan's Matt Slovin commented on how historic the Michigan season was. This week, Red Berensen said that he saw Michigan's best weekend of hockey in spite of the split. According to Slovin, Michigan began playing as if it were playoff hockey. Michigan has ten games left and they're just as challenging as those they've played, if not more so. These next ten games will say everything about the team and what impression they'll leave on the program.

Ferris State
Date of Game Against Cornell: December 28
Result: 5-3 Cornell
Analysis: Ferris State hasn't been blasting through the CCHA, but they are an incredibly solid team. As per their twitter account, they're doing incredibly well against future Big Ten teams, with a 5-2-1 record against said teams. This past weekend Ferris swept Michigan State. Next weekend could be big when the Bulldogs of Ferris travel to Notre Dame, who is currently leading the conference along with Western Michigan. The Bulldogs are only 2 CCHA points behind the top of the conference, even though they're fourth presently. Ferris is turning out to be one of the more useful wins that Cornell has had this season and if they keep up their end of the bargain, could look even better heading into playoffs.
