I will update frequently before and after the Michigan game. During the Michigan game i will only update the Michigan score with the occasional update during Michigan commercial breaks.
C'mon boys grab the first one tonight!
gophers are all over the buckeyes early.
OSU ties it at 1-1 right after they give it up.
Michigan most importantly needs to win tonight, but OSU beating Minnesota would be huge for Michigan.
Hopefully it's a 2011-12 Basketball scenario where they give Michigan a hand in winning the B1G Championship by beating a team.
in terms of the B1G regular season championship yes. when you look at Michigan's at-large hopes NO. Minnesota falling in the rankings hurts Michigan A TON
I'm a competitive person so I want the B1G Championship.
With a regular season B1G championship but no post-season championship and the last team out of the tournament?
and if Michigan takes care of business is that not being competitive? Isn't it more competitive to want Minnesota to be as high ranked as possible come B1G tournament time? If Michigan takes care of their business they win the B1G.
I'm very being very cautious. Michigan should have taken care of business a couple weeks ago in columbus.
Hockey is a weird sport. I'd like to have the championship already locked up so the team doesn't have a ton of pressure on them to HAVE to win out. The 1 seed in the B1G Tournament is huge also.
1 seed gets the earlier semifinal game. Unfortunately, we know why having the earlier semifinal is valuable when you have to play the very next day.
I thought you were being competitive not cautious?
We have been burned by having to win out to win the B1G Championship before. Not in Hockey, but just two years ago in Basketball.
I'll take the help. Again, this is only relevant if Michigan wins.
the thing is Michigan doesn't need to win out to win the B1G. they are in sole possession of first place. Minnesota is 3 points behind and Michigan holds the first tiebreaker as it stands right now (if Minnesota were to win and Michigan loses)
I want the Big Ten crown for sure, but right now we control our own destiny in that regard. I'm more worried about making the tournament, where we're on a razor's edge.
OSU gives up a goal and then they go right back down and score. 2-2!
They are a really good team when it comes to responding after giving one up I've noticed.
Win tonight! Sweep tomorrow~!
I'm heading up to the 1st round ECAC playoffs in Potsdam, NY tomorrow. Should be a good time.
I'm kind of shocked that ESPNEWS is going to be doing this OSU-MINN game tomorrow, as well.
Cumong man. Michigan hasn't even gotten an ESPN game all regular season.
probably our toughest of the remainder of the season: Friday night Michigan hockey slump + Pegula atmosphere > Munn library
each game becomes bigger than the last.
Might have catch some of that during intermissions.
I miss Rico and his band of midgets. Like I miss hating them. They were probably our chief non-MSU rival since my time as a fan started (2008-Present). Those were always great series
screw the dynasty. fuck Miami UNiversity.
Any free streams for BTN plus?
Let's Go Blue!
Beat FUPS!
Is this the game thread?
Racine with great early stop on Kenny Brooks wrist shot from high slot at 1:08 mark. 0-0 (1st) #GoBlue

Good that Racine got an early save. A hopeful sign.
You can always get audio on MGoBlue.com.
Oh, fuck, they score. 1-0 them.
Shit
FML. 2-0 them.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck
Welp.
dont we pretty much have to win out to make the NCAA's?
assuming we dont win the B10 tourney?
seems like this is the year of our teams choking at the most crucial times..I know its early but 2 goal deficits in Hockey are ike being down 21 in football not impossible but not likely..Next goal looms huge..either down 0-3 or back in it at 1-2
PSU powerplay coming up.
Oh, great. On the PK.
Huh.
Shit. PPG them. 3-0.
And no call on a crosscheck to Compher's head? WTF!?
God, what the hell. Well, I guess this means we gotta win the remaining three for a chance at an at large unless we get our heads out of our ass.
At this rate the final will be somewhere between 16-0 and 18-0.
Goodbye NCAAs
Hope these guys like watching the tournament from their sofas again this year
Man, I would really like Friday night hockey not to suck.
So far below our road GAA. /S
