Also not on TV. Late in the CCHA era basically every Michigan game was on TV somewhere, now only the GLI championship game is and maybe the Minnesota series.
December 31st, 2018 at 12:06 PM ^
Giant brawl and we can't even see it because FSD is running a REPEAT Xavier vs DePaul.
December 31st, 2018 at 12:09 PM ^
My brother just sent me a few pics of the fight. He said we have 4 guys in the box and they have 2 in theirs. All of them got 2 and 10. Does that lead to suspension for next game or is that only if it’s a match penalty?
December 31st, 2018 at 3:35 PM ^
No suspensions just from the penalties. A true fighting major carries a game disqualification, which draws a 1-game suspension for the first offense.
December 31st, 2018 at 12:10 PM ^
Staee scores first. PP goal after the fight.
December 31st, 2018 at 12:12 PM ^
Weird that FSD and BTN give zero thought to showing hockey games. Feels like we are never on tv anymore.
December 31st, 2018 at 12:18 PM ^
I dropped the super extra cable package in my area (out of state) which means I don't get BTN which means I basically never get to see the hockey team anymore. If M hockey was on regular BTN more often, I'd probably pay up to get the upper package, but I recall them shoving most games on BTN+. I always thought the creation of the BTHC would result in a lot more hockey on BTN but that doesn't seem to be the case.
December 31st, 2018 at 5:04 PM ^
BTN-Plus (which this game was not on, and BTN charges you more for) are games announced and staffed by students. Feel blessed that you don't have to watch/listen to such games.
But BTN itself, and FSN, should be showing much more hockey than they have been doing. Probably a continuing cutback by BTN from showing non-revenue sports, aside from the conference championship events. Heck, I've noticed much less Michigan softball and baseball during the spring seasons too.

GOOOOAL! Luke Morgan scores one.
Tied 1-1
December 31st, 2018 at 12:17 PM ^
Gooaaaaaallll!!!!!
Luke Morgan
December 31st, 2018 at 12:19 PM ^
Raabe 2 minutes for roughing
December 31st, 2018 at 12:19 PM ^
Awesome, it’s a 5 on 3 now
And they score, 2-1 MSU
December 31st, 2018 at 12:20 PM ^
No TV coverage is a shame. Those at the game, please shoot us updates.
December 31st, 2018 at 12:23 PM ^
2-1 State, end of 1
December 31st, 2018 at 12:25 PM ^
That was a weird period. Michigan leads in shots, 23-9. Sparty scores on both power play opportunities.
80 total penalty minutes! (42 for Michigan).
December 31st, 2018 at 12:29 PM ^
Game doesn’t feel as unbalanced as the shot total suggests. Michigan had great PP pressure that produced a plurality of the shots; otherwise pretty even. 5-on-3 is obviously the difference now.
I’ve got all 3 of my girls here and it’s still a great time.
December 31st, 2018 at 12:30 PM ^
i have it on good authority that our very own srjk may be in attendance, rooting for the maize and blue. if you see a guy that looks like he should be playing left tackle, wearing some michigan stuff, that might be him.
EDIT: i see he posted simultaneously from the game, so i guess my authority was spot on.
December 31st, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
Lockwood to the box, 2 for tripping
PK works, back to full strength
December 31st, 2018 at 12:55 PM ^
MSU back on the PP, Martin for high sticking
PK successful again, back to full strength.
December 31st, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
Back to full strength
December 31st, 2018 at 1:00 PM ^
Having not seen the team live yet, do we just fire everything possible at the net no matter how quality a shot? Seems as though we are always outshooting by like 3 or 4 to 1 with little to show.
December 31st, 2018 at 1:07 PM ^
Haven’t seen enough early in the year to comment personally, but what I’ve read from reports sounds like today, where we’ve been unlucky on a half dozen golden chances.
December 31st, 2018 at 1:04 PM ^
Pustajov for hooking.
Revolving door to the box
December 31st, 2018 at 1:07 PM ^
Back to full strength. 4:30 left in 2nd
December 31st, 2018 at 1:10 PM ^
UM gets their chance at a PP with 3:39 to go in 2nd
5 minute major
Ref Down!! Stick to the face, bleeding profusely
5 on 3 for 2
December 31st, 2018 at 1:19 PM ^
End 2. Down 2-1. 7 seconds left in 5 on 3. 1:22 left on the major.
December 31st, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^
Fire Brian Wiseman.
Power play has been a big zero since the CCM line left.
December 31st, 2018 at 1:44 PM ^
Goalll!!!!!
Pustajov
2-2
Updates brought to you courtesy of ToledoWolverine’s little brother, NTLB, who is at the game. Said he made the Jumbotron celebrating the tying goal, so he has that going for him.
December 31st, 2018 at 1:47 PM ^
we suck this year
December 31st, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
10 to go
December 31st, 2018 at 2:18 PM ^
Tie. Bummer, we just aren't very good this year
December 31st, 2018 at 6:14 PM ^
Michigan’s two best players are at World Juniors... and this team is just about where they were last year at this time... honestly, Marody [and the entire CCM line] is definitely missed
December 31st, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
SOG UM-49 MSU-26
Bummer, man
December 31st, 2018 at 3:34 PM ^
that's the thing about hockey that drives me insane. You can kick a team's ass up and down the rink and still lose.
December 31st, 2018 at 2:42 PM ^
Sigh...
December 31st, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
Kissing Cousins on New Year's Eve. Nightmare. Welcome 2019
December 31st, 2018 at 3:18 PM ^
Had really high hopes after last season. Will be a big struggle to make the tournament.
December 31st, 2018 at 6:16 PM ^
Just have to start playing right conference games... the 14-16 slots are more than likely going to be .500 teams from the B1G right now. M, Minnesota, and Wisconsin are all “tournament” talent-level teams... they just all play each other.
December 31st, 2018 at 3:51 PM ^
Another fucking tie? Figures.
