I'm laughing at the announcers. Obviously one-sided and they're talking about Michigan the way I talk about tomato can games during football season. A blind person might think Michigan is losing by four goals.

What an awful crowd
they honestly did a 'rising excitement cheer/noise' for a UND 1 on 2
srsly?
also the radio announcers in the first period noted the large amount of green in the crowd. while it's obviously a 'home' game for UND, i'd presume a lot of Irish fans still remain...
April 7th, 2011 at 10:09 PM

Yup, not to mention...
They share "ND" in common with the Domers (including a very similar looking ND logo). That's enough reason right there to hate em and beat em.

btw
how epic did UM's power play look compared to UND? not a lot of scoring opportunities but UM came down the ice almost Mighty Duck style and i actually muttered aloud how much more congruent and quality it looked compared to the past 2 periods of 5-on-4 Sioux hockey
April 7th, 2011 at 10:12 PM

Agreed.
Michigan did a nice job on ND's very first PP, so I'll give credit there -- but wow...that was one of the poorest-executed PPs I've seen in a hockey game in a long time.

3rd has got to be way better
Michigan let UND control the pace in the 2nd, and really should have scored if not for Hunwick's acrobatics.
Need more offense, more sustained pressure...less time in the defensive zone. Michigan better come out better than that in the 3rd, or else I fear that luck will end.

UM D needs to stand up closer to blue line.
UND is fast and allowing them to penetrate to almost the top of the face off circles is a recipe for disaster. Make UND dump the puck by standing up sooner, i.e. create a wall at the blue line.

Feel a deflected goal for us in the first few minutes, something with heavy funk on it, then the immovable object strategy the rest of the way. Go Blue!
