They were empty - maybe caused a bright background?
Bad first 5 minutes, but I thought Michigan played harder and outplayed us.
Just looked like they wanted it more.
The entire 1st period was really awful. Spurts in the 2nd and 3rd, but still much of the same. Michigan was getting to pucks and hitting some nice stretch passes every now and then. Notre Dame struggled with net front presence the entire game, where Michigan excelled in taking advantage of their ability to gain space near the slot. I think the sun was the least of their worries.
