#6 Michigan vs Ohio State

7:30pm Yost Ice Arena

No TV, BTN+

While (most likely) safely in the NCAA Tournament, Michigan needs help to win the Big Ten Championship. 1 pt behind Minnesota with 4 games left....winning out is the only realistic way they stand a chance to raise a banner for a B1G Regular Season Title...

Minnesota 1, Michigan State 1 in the first period as of this thread creation

That's exactly what it is. Rivals said Wiseman is getting a ton of support from the players.

Though, Michael Spath is a shill for Brian Wiseman and Billy Powers, I've been told. 

We cannot bungle this hire. Unlike Football that is a mainstream sport, if Hockey takes a nosedive like Football did with those bungled hires, people won't protest on lawns. They just won't come to the games and it will be the 1980s all over again. 

This hire must be the right one. 

Enrico Blasi has actually also been mentioned as a candidate by Rivals. I think that'd be a stellar hire, but the former players seemed mixed on the idea.

Can Red just quit now.     Does he know how bad of a job hes done the last five years with this talent????     I dont blame the studs going to NHL than being a loser with him.

Because he has no reference point on Michigan hockey. If it's not a win, it isn't good enough. When the team wins, it's like nothing ever happened.

Also see his little routine over at USCHO where he tries to act like an insider on the potential coaching search, which basically just boils down to the fact that he's heard of Danton Cole and is aware that Mel Pearson used to coach here.

Dude. we've given up 5 plus goals to Ohio State three times this year. 5 plus goals to Wisconsin twice and also lost to MSU. Thank god we have the CCM line. This is after missing 4 straight tournaments. At some point don't we have a right to be upset? I know our coach had 2 national champinships in the 90s  it's clear that our coaches can't coach right now. Dylan Larkin was a NHL all star and Kyle Connor will probably be too and we can't win with them.

I don't get to watch a lot of college hockey being in L.A., but I do watch a lot of pro hockey. Forgive me if the rules are different, but in what universe is that goalie interference? I mean, stick was up, okay. No skate was in the crease.

All officials should have to publicly explain any controversial decision.
