#8 Michigan Hockey vs. #14 Wisconsin - Open Thread
Ok, I'll make the open thread tonight because Center Ice has not. He must have Friday night plans or something.
#8 Michigan takes on #14 Wisconsin in Madison. Michigan limps in from a very forgettable GLI while Wisconsin comes in having won 7 of their last 8. Big plus side: Andrew Copp is back. The team will look like they care again.
Game is on BTN.
Go team win

Let's Go Blue!

or btn2go.com (if you have BTN on your cable)

The BTN just said roughly "Meeting for the first time as conference opponents since 1981"
That's the first time I've heard anyone on TV mention the old Big Ten league

They could have meant that but Michigan and wisconsin were both in the WCHA then as well as the "unofficial" Big 10.
January 11th, 2014 at 12:05 AM ^
You are most definitely correct

NIce seats at the away game means you're too good to start the open thread now. Ok, ok... I SEE HOW IT IS

Nice Hair!

Yes, but just in my dorm. Not online :(
January 10th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
Liking the early energy.
January 10th, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
Michigan looking good so far. Most of the play has been in the Wisconsin end
January 10th, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
Coincidental minors for that?!
January 10th, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
FUCK! They score, 1-0 them.
January 10th, 2014 at 9:13 PM ^
Softie from Nagelvoort
That's disappointing. Michigan was really carrying play and had the Kohl Center quiet. Now the crowd seems to be in it and Wisconsin has the momentum
January 10th, 2014 at 9:14 PM ^
Yeah that goal definitely seemed like it was against the run of play. Hopefully M can stablize and get one back.

Nearly Olympic at 200x97.

Michigan really has looked good. They're skating hard, looking like the quicker and harder-working team right now.
January 10th, 2014 at 9:20 PM ^
Andrew Copp just made some nasty moves to get a nice chance on net. No dice though. I didn't even know Copp had that in his repertoire, he looked like PDG for a sec
January 10th, 2014 at 9:32 PM ^
January 10th, 2014 at 9:52 PM ^
Try this one
January 10th, 2014 at 9:57 PM ^
Doh! (late effort to make up for earlier error)
January 10th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
DAMMIT, they score again. 2-0 them.
January 10th, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
WIsconsin just wrapped it around and threw it in front and it went off a skate and in
BS Wisconsin goals 2
Michigan 0
Not our night apparently. We're still totally carrying play and yet we're down 2-0. Nagelvoort never stood a chance there
January 10th, 2014 at 9:27 PM ^
Looks like it goes off De Jong's skate as he is facing away from the play. Go flippin figure
January 10th, 2014 at 9:28 PM ^
ok,who jinxed 2014?!?!?!?
January 10th, 2014 at 9:31 PM ^
That was the one that did it
January 10th, 2014 at 9:32 PM ^
January 10th, 2014 at 9:35 PM ^
If I'm Red (which I obviously am, look at my username), I'm not even thinking about pulling Nagelvoort at this point. He has 1 bad goal and 1 goal no one is stopping except by dumb luck. He's fine at this point
January 10th, 2014 at 9:31 PM ^
We need a PPG.
January 10th, 2014 at 9:32 PM ^
January 10th, 2014 at 9:44 PM ^
Sick.
January 10th, 2014 at 9:33 PM ^
What are the chances they come back? I don't watch a lot of hockey, but I know it's hard to score. I assume they should be able to come back, I'm just not sure if that's realistic.
January 10th, 2014 at 9:36 PM ^
Michigan hasn't been scoring a lot of goals this year, coming back from 2-0 deficit against a ranked team on the road is a tall task. We can definitely do it, but it's on the unlikely side I'd say
January 10th, 2014 at 9:45 PM ^
So most likely this game is over. I'm not giving up hope or anything, just trying to adjust my expectations.
January 10th, 2014 at 9:49 PM ^
The difference tonight is that we're skating really hard and we look like the team that should be up 2-0. This isn't a "Im Bored" 2-0 like we had against MSU a few weeks ago, we should be winning.
Statisically it might look grim, but I think it's probably 50/50 we come back to win if the game stays this way
January 10th, 2014 at 9:56 PM ^
Ok well that's good to hear. Thanks for the updates on the team.
January 10th, 2014 at 9:38 PM ^

Shit, no joy.
