Michigan hockey advances to Big Ten Tournament semifinalsfinals after six-game season sweep of MSU

In the movie Goodfellas, Henry Hill explains, “Whenever we needed money, we’d rob the airport. To us, it was better than Citibank.”

When Michigan hockey needs a win, they play Michigan State.

The Michigan Wolverines (27-9-1, 18-8) only trailed for less than four minutes in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals matchup with the Michigan State Spartans (12-23-1, 6-20) as they dominated each game by scores of 4-1 and 8-0.

Michigan completed the first ever six-game season sweep of the Spartans in the history of the rivalry. And to add embarrassment to domination, only two of the six games were kept within three or fewer goals.
