The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Wednesday, January 10, 2007 - 7A No goals? Not a problem for Sauer BEN JIDELL/Dai Senior David Rohlfs scored two goals to help lead Michigan past Bowling Green, 5-0. Jcers start new year right By NATE SANDALS Daily Sports Writer Chad Kolarik has already spoiled a potential Billy Sauer shutout. So last night, when he committed NOTEBOOK a penalty with just under two minutes to play and Michigan leading 5-0, the junior forward had good reason to fear the worst. "Against Quinnipiac (last year), he had a shutout going and a puck banked off me and went in," Kolarik recalled last night. "When I took the penalty, I thought for sure I was going to ruin it for him." Fortunately for Kolarik and Sauer, Bowling Green failed to score in the final two minutes. It was Sauer's first shutout since Jan. 6 of last year - his 18th birthday. Last night, three days after turning 19, Sauer expressed more relief than joy. "I didn't really think it was going to happen, to be honest with you," Sauer said. "It was good to just to get it off my back." The sophomore was justified in doubt- ing the outcome after a shutout slipped away on a Michigan Tech goal with just 1:16 to go in a Dec. 29 game at the Great Lakes Invitational. While Bowling Green's offense is noth- ing to write home about, Sauer still put forth a solid effort to keep the puck out of the net. Inthe first period,boredomwas Sauer's biggest enemy. The Falcons managed just one shot, and that came late in the frame. "I was just looking up at the clock won- dering when is this (first) period going to end," Sauer joked. "It's hard to keep your- self in the game." That was evident as the Walworth, N.Y., native struggled mightily in Novem- ber and December. Now he must prove last night's effort wasn't an anomaly. The biggest positive for Sauer is that the shutout is more than just notching a win. "It's an earned shutout," Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "It's not a shut- out that he got by default. That was a posi- tive step for him." Hail! Hail! The gang's all here: For the first time in more than amonth, every- one on the Michigan roster was healthy for last night's game. The Wolverines suffered from an injury bug in December when defensemen Jack Johnson, Jason Dest and Steve Kampfer all suffered shoulder injuries. While Dest and Kampfer were back for the GLI just before New Year's, John- son and forward Andrew Cogliano were absent for a different reason: The IIHF World Junior Championships in Sweden. Berenson is glad to have all his players back for the second half of the season, but not just because he has all his talent back. He believes the players' return will reju- venate the group's locker room and on-ice chemistry, too "The team is like a family," Berenson said. "When someone's missing, they're missing, butcit's good to have them back." Big jump: Johnson came back from Sweden angry and for reasons other than the United States failing to win gold. He was also mad with Michigan's spot in the CCHA standings. The Wolverines entered last night's game in sixth place. After the team's 5-0 win, Michigan didn't just move out of the middle of the pack, it leapt. The Maize and Blue vaulted over Ohio State, Michigan State and Lake Superior State to move into third in the conference with 18 points. Michigan has played the same number of games as the Lakers, and one and two fewer games thanthe Spartans and Buck- eyes, respectively. Going into last night's game, John- son called sixth place "unacceptable" for Michigan. It's fair to say that third feels a bit more comfortable for the Wolverines. If Michigan can remain one of the top- four teams in the conference, it will seal a first-round bye in the CCHA playoffs, which begin March 2. A weekend off would benefit the Wol- verines, who play each weekend for the rest of the season and play just one game at Yost Ice Arena in February. By IAN ROBINSON Daily Sports Writer It had been a rocky road for the Michigan hockey team. The 14th-ranked Wolverines - who were once ranked as high as No. 5 in the nation - had lost four of their --- last six games. IBGSU 0 But with the entire IMICHIGAN 5 roster together for the first time since Dec. 2 and a game against conference cellar dweller Bowling Green in front of them, the Wolverines were in a posi- tion to start the season's second half off on the right foot. And they did just that. Michigan pummeled the Falcons, 5-0, at Yost Ice Arena last night. . "For everyone to come back together and get a strong performance like we did tonight is a good way to start the second half," senior David Rohlfs said. During the recent rough patch, Michi- gan coach Red Berenson had been critical of how his team failed to take control at the start of games. But from the onset last night, Michigan (9-5-0 CCHA, 14-8-0 overall) kept the pressure on Bowling Green, generating numerous scoring chances. Junior Chad Kolarik broke through less than three minutes into the game with a redirection of a T.J. Hensick shot for a power-play goal, his 100th point as a Wol- verine. ' Although Michigan entered the locker room after 20 minutes with just a one-goal lead, the Wolverines limited the Falcons (3- 12-0, 5-17-1) to just one shot in the first peri- od and peppered goalie Jimmy Spratt with 13 of their own. Sophomore netminder Billy Sauer, who has struggled lately, delivered his first shut- out in more than a year, saving all 22 shots he faced. Bowling Green never sustained enough pressure to faze the Walworth, N.Y., native. Clinging to a one-goal lead late in the first period, Rohlfs nearly made it a two- goal margin with a breakaway attempt that clanked off the crossbar. But what he couldn't do with about two minutes to go in the first, he accomplished about two minutes into the second period. Rohlfs benefited from a "knuckleball"shot from the blue line that floated off the goalie's glove and into the net, ending a four-game point drought. At the post-game press con- ference, neither Rohlfs, Sauer or Berenson knew exactly what happened on the play, but they gladly accepted the result. After being paired with Hensick and junior Kevin Porter for much of the year, Rohlfs made his first appearance on the team's third line alongside sophomores Tim Miller and Brandon Naurato. And Berenson liked what he saw out of that line. "I thought Rohlfs was huge on that third line for us," Berenson said. "They are so good defensively, and they did some nice things offensively as well." Rohlfs continued his offensive contribu- tions later with a breakaway goal midway through the third to cap the win. As conference season enters crunch time, the Wolverines hope that the end of Rohlfs's point skid will be a sign of things turning the corner for their team, too. the michigan daily FALL 2007 RENTALS.
