Uh it's actually the semifinals....
FYS will lose badly.

I want western. 2 straight losses to them in that building doesn't sit well with me. I want blood.

Or sometimes coaches have been known to say stuff just for the sake of trying to get their team going. Just maybe.
December 29th, 2012 at 3:36 PM ^
western's coach "This is our bowl game. western's football team isn't in one, state's is, Michigan's is and I'm not sure about tech".
Maybe because they're in Division II you fool.

I'll have the live-blog fired up at 6:30 here from JLA later this evening.
Go to: michiganhockey.net.
Go Blue!

Ugly ass jerseys by western.
Every team in this GLI will have throwbacks since it was supposed to be outdoors.
December 29th, 2012 at 4:02 PM ^
December 29th, 2012 at 5:13 PM ^
will always be my favorite.
December 29th, 2012 at 5:33 PM ^
Nike color and just overall design wins
December 29th, 2012 at 5:17 PM ^
I've wanted one of those for myself for a long time, but I haven't been able to find one. They're 1000 times better than the jerseys we wear now, and I don't even want to think about what we wore in the Ward and Knuble days.
December 29th, 2012 at 5:45 PM ^
Aaron Ward
Mike Knuble
The current Blue jersey is a throwback design to what we wore in the late 1980s.
December 29th, 2012 at 3:57 PM ^
1-0 western
December 29th, 2012 at 4:04 PM ^
"Big Ten sucks" chants.
Can you blame the B1G schools leaving the CCHA because they don't want to play in arenas reminiscent of intramural hockey arenas used by Tim Hortons Timbits?

They only show up when their team is doing decent. Didn't see any of them when their team was losing to Michigan 8-0.
December 29th, 2012 at 4:18 PM ^
Yeah, WMU fans have gotten really chirpy since their team started winning.
December 29th, 2012 at 4:15 PM ^
I mean really bad. As bad as we have been, I can't see any way we lose to a 3 win team without their best player.
December 29th, 2012 at 4:17 PM ^
I refuse to take any team lightly anymore in anything.
I'm going into this game as if tech is the #1 team in the country.
December 29th, 2012 at 5:54 PM ^
You sound like you're actually playing in the game.
December 29th, 2012 at 10:19 PM ^
Remember how I said, DON'T TAKE ANY TEAM LIGHTLY?
Do you as a Michigan fan really need more evidence that you should be that way? Haven't we suffered enough from taking teams lightly?
December 29th, 2012 at 10:27 PM ^
They just have no fight once they are faced with adversity, they just skate around looking for someone to feel sorry for them. Everybody is waiting for someone to step up and fix it, but nobody ever does. Bottom line, failed leadership on the ice.
December 30th, 2012 at 12:56 PM ^
oh I remember. "I refuse to take any team lightly anymore in anything.
I'm going into this game as if tech is the #1 team in the country"
I just think you sound ridiculous saying this, since you're not on the team and aren't playing in the game.
December 29th, 2012 at 4:22 PM ^
December 29th, 2012 at 4:29 PM ^
Michigan Tech was already one of the worst teams in the country before Pietila went to the WJC, without him they don't have a real goal scoring option. They're also 55th in defense, which will be the first time this year we played a team who statistically was worse than us.

state-western has always kind of been an underrated nasty rivalry. Back in the '86 GLI, state fans dumped beer, ketchup and mustard all over western's player Jim Culhane while he was in the penalty box (now the guy on the intermission report) and Culhane tried to climb up the glass to get them.
Very ugly scene and possibly why western hasn't been to the GLI until now.

December 29th, 2012 at 6:01 PM ^
Wow has this game been crazy. Interference on MSU. 0/4 tonight.
December 29th, 2012 at 6:08 PM ^
We are headed to the first ever shoot out in GLI history!
December 29th, 2012 at 6:12 PM ^
What a bunch of bullshit. It's never been shootouts, always been 2OTs.
Who made that ruling?!
December 29th, 2012 at 6:15 PM ^
I hate this gimmicky BS. I'm very worried that now they allowed shootouts in non-conference games, the NCAA Tournament is next.
December 29th, 2012 at 6:16 PM ^
western scores and gets the nod in the shootout.
Wow. Thought state would get the shit beat out of them. Both of these teams will lose tomorrow.
December 29th, 2012 at 6:16 PM ^
but what a great game man I am pumped for the Michigan Tech vs Michigan game now! GO BLUE!!!
December 29th, 2012 at 6:18 PM ^
Michigan will wear road Blue tonight. tech is the host since this is "their" tournament (even though they haven't won it in decades)
December 29th, 2012 at 6:26 PM ^
It has been 32 years since MTU won the GLI. John Maclnnes left Michigan Tech in 1982 after 26 seasons, and their program hasn't won anything since.
