GLI Championship Open Thread: Michigan vs. Michigan Tech

Submitted by gwkrlghl on

#10 Michigan (10-3-3) vs. Michigan Tech (11-6-2)

Michigan defeated Northern 3-2 yesterday while Tech overcame a 2-0 deficit to MSU in the 3rd and won in OT. Michigan is looking for their 6th GLI crown in the last 10 years while Tech is looking to add its 2nd since 1980 after breaking the seal again in 2012.

Speaking of which, MSU choked away another 3rd period lead tonight and lost in OT. Up 1-0 in the 3rd the Northerns scored with about 4:00 to go and then won it in OT. MSU finishes 4th. This is looking like it'll be Anastos' last season.

TV is FSD or BTN+. I have neither so it's radio for me.

Go blue!

played some organized hockey, but man, did we have fun every winter weekend, strapping on the skates and beating the shit out of each other playing rudimentary hockey on the neighboring farmer's pond!  Good ice or bad, we were out there every Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting.

---because we did the same thing!

  And prior to playing on the nearby farm pond, we used to go skate and play "hockey" with broken tree limbs and tennis balls on some ice in an area we referred to as "the swamp"---it was located in a wooded area on my grandparent's apple farm, we'd have to weave our way between tree trunks as we played.
