B1G Hockey Championship Game
The pregame show is on, the beer is cold, its Saturday night now lets win this fucking thing and get back in the big tournament.
whats on the line: Michigan NEEDS to win to make it into the NCAA Tournament. Minnesota will make the tournament with a win and have a strong chance of advancing even with a loss (it is NOT a given as there is one scenario where they could be left out).
this game will come down to goaltending. Racine needs to keep up his good play at the Joe but Michigan will need to keep the pressure on Wilcox (who looked like the Wilcox of old last night with the shutout against Ohio State) and fight for the rebounds in the crease.
I'm not going to bring up the running theme of these threads thursday and friday because we all get it and expected it.
WIN THE GAME!!!

and agree with the other stuff you said in there.
But I'm worn out on this.
March 21st, 2015 at 10:38 PM ^
Well, in all likelihood he'll be back for 2015-16. So don't watch I guess?
March 21st, 2015 at 11:01 PM ^
next year if that's the case. Just can't follow with the normal intensity, but will hope for the best.

Trying not to be biased but it really did sound like they were hoping we'd lose. I mean declaring "Goodbye Michigan!" instead of something like "There's your winner for Minnesota!" or something seems to be showing your rooting interests

we tied it at 3-3 and there's maybe 3 minutes left. but the next posts are of us losing and an empty-netter to ice it. where/when/how did minny get a 4th goal?
March 21st, 2015 at 10:28 PM ^
We didn't tie it. Came close a couple times, but no dice.

Sort of a non sequitur there. It's just a general complaint that none of the teams made the post season
March 21st, 2015 at 10:36 PM ^
When was the last itme that happened?
March 21st, 2015 at 10:28 PM ^
March 21st, 2015 at 10:37 PM ^
Probably North Dakota in 2011, right?
March 21st, 2015 at 11:11 PM ^

He was asking when the last time the team won a critical game was. I think it was that national semi vs. North Dakota. One of my favorite Michigan wins ever across all sports

Dan Kelly, the Gopher color guy whose name I don't care about, and some Badger.

Clymer is alright, but a bit of a homer. BTN badly needs better broadcasters. Basketball is OK except overly excited dipshit whose name I can't remember right now. Football and hockey are terrrrible.
EDIT: Eric Collins.

Wow.
March 21st, 2015 at 10:34 PM ^
This might just be the most immature thing you've ever posted on here.
March 21st, 2015 at 11:42 PM ^
That is one hell of a statement.
March 21st, 2015 at 10:34 PM ^
Shrinkage due to the cold arena

I laughed

We're an at-large if we take care of business against OSU/PSU/MSU (Three Bad Teams)
Are any of the defensive recruits coming in supposed to be good? We need help badly back there. Lohan getting big minutes says more about our lack of talent there than it says about anything he's doing.

I was looking at the Pairwise today and it's amazing the Duluth is in line to be the top 2-seed with a 20-15-3 record. UNO might be a 2 at 18-12-6.
March 21st, 2015 at 10:37 PM ^
Being more experienced should help Martin and Werenski. Werenski being 18 and having a year of college hockey should hopefully make him a real #1 like Reilly is. Then I think Martin can be a solid two, Downing can hopefully cut down on his mistakes and maybe do some yardwork for the refs to get himself off their shitlist. That's a solid group. Forwards should remain ridiculous, assuming the Wings don't behave out of character.
March 21st, 2015 at 10:39 PM ^
Werenski and Martin were our two best guys.
This is not optimal, what with them being freshmen and all.
Maybe optimal for next year.
March 21st, 2015 at 10:34 PM ^
Ah well. They gave it a solid try, but when you get swept by PSU and split with MSU, to say nothing of other mishaps this past month or so, this type of heartbreak occurs. Hopefully this is the impetus needed for some real change in the hockey program, whether it be this year or next.
March 21st, 2015 at 10:41 PM ^
Let's be real though:
Dylan Larkin: Good.
March 21st, 2015 at 10:43 PM ^
Downing hit microcosm of the year. Flashy, looks great, but terrible discipline. Why you go for a big hit in a 3 on 2 is completely beyond me. It may be stating the obvious, but something is wrong with the way the team plays and their mentality.
March 21st, 2015 at 10:44 PM ^
I bet Downing is the best NHL 15 defenseman. That's some EASHL-play there.
March 21st, 2015 at 10:46 PM ^
They want to play 80s hockey when everyone else is playing Devils inspired death hockey. And don't have the goalie to make up for the firewagonness of it all.
March 21st, 2015 at 10:48 PM ^
Sucks. We go 3 lines deep with dangerous forwards, have the #1 offense in the country and we're sitting at home. What a waste of a really rare combination of offensive talent
And how much does it suck to lose Hyman. He was really making the step from "Freakin good" to Unstoppable and now it's over
Good luck in the league
March 21st, 2015 at 11:03 PM ^
I feel bad for Hyman. He was incredible to watch this year. And he was really good in this game, too.
