If I was PSU I'd have the all too familiar feeling of doom that comes with that
PSU is getting worked in OT. It will be devastating if we lose
Double OT, what fun
OT #2
ARGH! More OT.
Michigan dominated that period in such a way that you can only wonder 'Where the hell was that for the first 60 minutes?"
Nice period but no goal
Shots 45-57, faceoffs 45-47 them.
Just WIN. THE. GAME.
WIN THE GAME
It's just gonna be ANOTHER lightning bolt heartbreak--and we all know it.
I know no such thing. #itain'tovertillit'sover
I started watching Michigan Hockey in 07-08, since that time our season has ended in OT in 4 of 6 seasons
Of who we need to lose tomorrow to increase our chances of making the NCAA's? As a long time hockey fan, at all levels, it seems the most talented teams usually lose these longs games. Frustration sets in and a bounce goes the other way. Just thinking ahead. Go Blue.
My pick if we do win, Guptil.
I think the breakdown is 40-50% in with a loss, 95%+ in with a win. Just win.
Otherwise, you pray other bubble teams (Cornell, Colgate, NoDak...) fall and bid stealers lose in their conference tournaments
Here we go.
WIN THE GAME IN A PROMPT MANNER
Somehow this game is in danger of overlapping with the basketball game. Going to a 3rd OT will almot certainly do it
Just missed Hyman on the breakaway!
I've just given up thinking that Michigan's shots will go into the net. I see a grade A chance and feel nothing, no rise in hopefulness
8:50 to go in 2OT
GO TO YOUR HOME
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
Damn it, hockey will be back in October though
We crushed the entirely of OT and now we're going to watch the NCAA tournament from home.
Fuck fuck fuck
How did we lose to this shitty Penn State team THREE TIMES in a single season?
I feel nothing. This is just sadly normal
Jesus H. Sorry but we're going nowhere fast right now. I really hope Red steps down now or one more year.
And now time to go take a damn quiz instead of watching the basketball game. FUCK MY LIFE
Can beat us.
(TOTAL FRUSTRATION)
That is all.......
Guptill tried to make a hero play by skating it out himself instead of simply winning possession back to the corner. Maybe the most frustrating Michigan athlete I can remember.
Are we still on the bubble, or did it just pop?
If everything goes right we can still get in and be a terribly dangerous four seed, since we play to the level of our competition every fucking game.
you'd have to think 3 losses to one of the worst teams in Div. I college hockey pops the bubble regardless. That was ridiculously bad.
I think we're 40-50% to get in with a loss. We're #16 right now and are likely dead in the water
But let's be honest here, if you can't beat Penn State in a best of 5 series, you have no business competing for a national title. A deserved time on the sofa for the team

Maybe I'm wrong, but we're at 16th right now.
Even without an upset, Atlantic Hockey doesn't have an at-large team so their conference winner will bump us.
By months you mean a week? They were real good last weekend.
They were good Friday and played really well on Saturday against a Minnesota team that had the #1 overall seed to play for because BC's season didn't end until later that night.
Closer game if Wilcox plays, sure. But they still played well.
