Updated 6:00 a.m. this morning:
http://www.uscho.com/rankings/pairwise-rankings/d-i-men/
Our win over UW and Penn State over Gophers dropped them to #11, and us up to #8
also ahead of UMD and Northeastern
Ohio still #6, ND #2 after winning their games last night
This would be a #2 seed.
Amaizing season, come to Yost tonight to watch us win the series.
Friday Night BTT at Yost: Michigan Hockey vs. Wisconsin Game Thread
Game is (once again) on BTN Plus (sigh...)
However, Radio + GameTracker: http://mgoblue.com/watch/?Live=115&type=Archive
It's 3-1 and we really aren't playing well to start this game, it's time to take Lavigne out, and I realized the reason behind our bad luck is the lack of a classic MGoBlog Hockey Game Thread!
So here it is. Let's bounce back now.
GO BLUE!!!!

Michigan has a 1-2-1 record against Wisconsin this year. They’ve dominated a couple of games that they lost due to trailing on the scoreboard and Wisconsin sitting back (Games 1 and 4). They also gave away a point in Game 2 with a goal in the final minute of regulation. Michigan won Game 3 thanks to great (!!) special teams play. So, what does that mean? Well…

During their first series, Michigan was in the midst of their defensive crisis. They also were rotating goalies. Both of those issues seem to have mostly been sorted out. In their last meeting, Hayden Lavigne had his worst game of 2018, though.
Everything about these teams seems to be relatively even. Michigan's overall offense and defense are statistically slightly better than Wisconsin's. Wisconsin’s Corsi and special teams play are slightly better than Michigan’s. I would give Michigan an edge in net, though, especially since there seems to have been a sharp uptick in quality of play in the second half of the season for Hayden Lavigne; he has a .915 save % since January 5th.

Discord server for Michigan game live streams
Hi there - I'm going to be offering live streams for games, starting this week for the basketball/hockey.
There are some adverserial people (fuck you - OSU/MSU/Big Ten/NCAA) who also browse this board - fortunately, I've developed a few mechanisms to circumvent this.
1) Links to the stream will not be posted on MGoBoard. Do not post the links to the streams on the board to other users. Direct them to the Discord server URL.
2) The link to the server is https://discord.gg/VEdcKTr
3) Join the server, state your MGoBlog username and copy/paste a URL to a comment in a prior post you've made on MGoBoard.
4) You will be messaged a phrase to edit the post you've provided, and include the set of characters/phrase you were messaged.
5) I will go through your post history and see if you're a MGoBoard regular and can be trusted.
6) If you follow steps 5/6, you will be messaged a stream URL on the Discord server.
7) The stream URL will be new every game. Once you've been verified once, you're on the trusted list and are good to go. You'll be messaged a new URL for the stream for each game.
8) If this gets popular, I'm going to need some volunteers to help with the moderation of new users.
9) Feel free to join the server now and start the verification process. I'm at work so the response to your posts will be delayed. I'll probably get back to you sometime after 5pm EST.
10) Do not post the stream URL in an MGoBoard thread - if you do this, the streaming rights associated with your MGoBoard username will be revoked - there is no tolerance for this.
11) This authentication mechanism was used by the NSA to communicate with the Russians - https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/feb/10/nsa-used-twitter-account-tweet-secret-messages-mea/
Thanks.
Check back here later tonight, we'll do a dry-run for the Illinois/Iowa game.
