Remember the MSU game.....Cannot let up
D'oh! So close!
Moffatt nearly had the hattrick! Off the post on a short 2-on-1. MAN. Almost 4-0
Trying to say goaltending inconsistency has been the problem. If we didn't have such great goalies the NCAA tournament wouldn't even be an option right now.
You would think that these guys would watch a majority of the games if they're going to do broadcasts on BTN. I mean, there's 6 teams....not exactly a ton of hockey to be watched.
Serville breaking up Minnesota's 2-on-1. The difference in this series has been blocking shots and playing pretty good D on oddman rushes. We probably wouldn't be in either game without all the blocked shots
Hyman!!!! 4-0 us!!!!
Zach Hyman!!!!! 4-0!
I love watching him play. Gritty. High IQ. Toughness.
We want MOOOOAAAAR goals!!!!
Watch for Zach Hyman to really breakout next year. He's been great to wrap up this season. All that effort is finally starting to turn into points
Hyman scores. 4-0 game.
DiGiuseppe!!!!! 5-0 us!!!!!
PDG. 5-0!
And I think that will end Shibrowski's night as that was a softy. All the way from the point
We want MOOOOOAAAAAR goals!!!!!
Play like this in the conference tourney please.
Backup goalie is not so good, it would appear. Still a really good period by us, best in forever.
The PDG-Nieves-Moffatt line has been a terror tonight.
I hope Michigan routs Minny for what we been through last few weeks.
Gophers really did us a solid by playing this goalie eh

but even with Wilcox we're probably still up at least 2-0. Most of our goals have been good ones, only one soft goal
It's great that we are up 5-0, but it just makes me wonder where the hell this has been for the last two months. Seems like too little too late again.
Dammit, they score. 5-1 us.
Now I will be nervous about an epic choke job. We've been lazy the last few minutes
D'oh! On the PK.
Rough call ime. DeBlois was playing the puck and the Minnesota player basically just tipped over. The stick never went between his skates
Made me nervous at the end of the period but you can't complain about outscoring the #1 team in the country 4-1 in a period. Just hold on fow the finish. We need this win so bad
Mathy people saying if we hold on we should be fine if we beat PSU Thursday. If motivated Michigan shows up like this weekend, that should be easy. If "we should crush these jokers" Michigan shows up, not so much.
We're not the only people to lose to Penn State this year! Hooray!
6-1!!! Andrew Copp!
Copp!!!!!! 6-1 us!!!!!! SHG!!!!!!!
Assist of the year by Tyler Motte. Excellent dive to clear the puck and it was left for Copp.
We want MOOOOOOAAAAAAR goals!!!!!!
Yay, PK! Now finish them!
Copp scores shorthanded on the breakaway. 6-1.
but I'll say it again. If Michigan played every game like they've played against Minnesota this year, we'd be fighting them for the #1 overall seed tonight
Unfortunately, we've played down to the level of our competition too often.
Nagelvoort couldn't see it. 6-2
Dammit, they score. 6-2 us.
WHAT. How do you call that icing?! Hyman clearly had him beat already by the top of the cirlce. W.T.F
Now let's just do what every underdog ever does against us when they get a lead. Don't even try to score again, clog up the neutral zone. Hold on to your butts until the clock hits zero
Just. Waste. Time! [clap]
Just. Waste. Time! [clap]
Nothing happening - just as I'd like
Boring is good
Pleasantly dull
Nada
If this score holds, I expect Janecyk to get in around 2 minutes.
Michigan with 25 blocked shots tonight. Wow
Zilch
For a second I thought Downing had taken his regular roughing penalty but it turned out to be on Compher, Minnesota PP upcoming
