#13 Michigan Hockey vs #1 Minn Thread
Usually during the game threads I make the Fry face
"Not sure if people are reading updates
or just talking to myself"
Thank you.
Wow two huge chances for both teams back to back. We nearly made it 3-1 and then Minnesota came right back.
Goodness
this is one of the more enjoyable games I have seen this year from a style perspective...very high level
Nagelvoort....no words
The D didn't even slow down the Minnesota player. Might as well have been a breakaway
Dude pretty much entered the zone unimpeded and painted the crossbar just over Nagelvoort's shoulder. Rough.
2-2
They just have another gear I haven't seen from anyone else but Boston College frankly. They just fly
2-2 is probably a just score. Minnesota had more chances that period, but both teams had a lot of 'grade A' chances. We easily could've put two on the board that period, Minnesota could've as well
Minnesota was overpowering - you could sense the goal was coming. 2-2 after 2 is OK but we need to regroup and get the home ice advantage for the third. A win tonight would be big.
The game on BTN isn't very exciting. Looks like if we win tomorrow we're getting Bucky or Sparty.
for all my faithful MGoFollowers...
A few good scoring chances for both already. 18:00 to go
Puck was sitting in the crease and Voort overslid, somehow Minnesota couldnt put it in. I really do not understand how. 2-2. 17:00 to go
Edit: Downing broke it up. Brilliant play
Buccigross needs to be checked for kidney stones.
No one can get a firm shot on it and Wilcox turns them all aside. Great period so far. Wilcox is a good goalie.
14:50 to go
Guptill has been our best player tonight. Most of our chances have come thru him
You rarely see college hockey go up and down so much, in a game with so much skill on both sides. Hopefully we come out on top...obviously
We're holding our own in thie third. Could go either way. Sure hope it goes ours. No cheap penalties!!
Icing on Minnesota. Michigan is been the better team this period. Looking good so far...
to snag one of these from the old Golden Gophers.
that our defense is either having to or choosing to play more passive - I think they're petrified of getting deked out of their pants - as a result, Minnesota is just waltzing into our zone unopposed.
They're like 3 lines deep of Carl Hagelins
couldn't put it in. 9:43 to go
2-2. 9:35 to go in the 3rd
The student section is getting a lot of coverage tonight. The band too.
Michigan has blocked a ton of shots tonight. A big reason why we're in it
The defense is doing a much better job tonight of blocking shots
Both teams seem to be cautious. I think they both fear the other teams skill
I must be learning something from Gordon
Nothing of note to report
Michigan getting less possession, less chances. Minnesota controlling but not getting many chances either.
5:40 to go
4:23 to go.
Terror. Please don't lose.
4:01
Michigan really hasn't had a scoring chance in a long time. A lot of fruitless Minnesota possession
Same story
Same
Refs are letting them play
Minnesota with a good chance. Mac tried.
How much time is left?
Minnesota ran into Voort but no call. Faceoff in the MN zone
We've been dodging some chances in the last minute
Nothing
2-2 tie. Going to OT
Michigan had a decent chance with about :15 to go. Minnesota with a final rush that was fruitless
And we're going to overtime
no I think it's 5 min break
Is high-stick reviewable in college? Minnesota's first goal looked like a high stick.
