Hockey: #15 Michigan at #17 Tech open thread
Well happy hockeyween everyone!
Michigan travels to Houghton for the first time since the 1983-84 season to take on a RANKED Tech team. For the first time since the inception of the USCHO hockey rankings, Michigan will play a ranked MTU team.
Unless you feel like shelling out the $$$ for the WCHA.TV stream, MGoBlueTV audio is the best we've got tonight. Fear not, this is the last series of the year that is not televised or on BTN Plus.

Without Brandon, there is hope.

PSU is actually receiving votes in the poll.
October 31st, 2014 at 6:57 PM ^
why wouldn't they get votes....look at this schedule
T/W vs UConn
T vs Anchorage
L vs Fairbanks
Sweep hockey power Holy Cross
W vs Bentley last night
you are just a hater WD, that is a juggernaut lol
October 31st, 2014 at 7:00 PM ^
You get the top 20, then like 15 receiving votes i.e. over half of college hockey. It should be cut down to a top 10-15
October 31st, 2014 at 7:01 PM ^
they arguably played one good team and lost to them......
while I agree with you that it should be cut down, you will never cut the rankings down below the number of teams in the tournament....voters are just dumb
October 31st, 2014 at 7:05 PM ^
USCHO used to just have a top 10, then it was a top 15, now a top 20
October 31st, 2014 at 7:08 PM ^
I honestly don't remember that
October 31st, 2014 at 7:11 PM ^
I think the top 10 was in the late 90s and the top 15 was early 2000s so I don't blame you
October 31st, 2014 at 7:15 PM ^
It was top 10 from its beginning in 1995-96 to the early 2000s IIRC. I broke this down for my Hockey SuperGuide.
October 31st, 2014 at 6:54 PM ^
Go Bulldogs!! Take care of Sparty.
October 31st, 2014 at 7:01 PM ^
If you have Comcast, that game's on CN900.
October 31st, 2014 at 7:05 PM ^
Thanks WD! Unfortunately I don't, so it's live stats for me tonight. Hopefully attending the game tomorrow night
October 31st, 2014 at 7:18 PM ^
It looks like there's about 15 people at that game. Once again, if they aren't playing Michigan, their crowds lack.
October 31st, 2014 at 7:20 PM ^
Not shocking at all... And to think MSU was trying to get support for a new arena the last couple of years.
October 31st, 2014 at 6:53 PM ^
Would be great to get 2 big wins this weekend
October 31st, 2014 at 6:54 PM ^

Will we get Lowell Michigan or the Michigan that struggles to score 3 goals. We will see. McGinnis is going to be rocking so its going to be important to get that first goal because the crowd will be in it big time
October 31st, 2014 at 7:02 PM ^
Michigan lost their last game 3-3. A typical theme of 2010s Michigan Hockey. I hate refs.
October 31st, 2014 at 7:04 PM ^
It sounds like they played better agaisnt BU than UML....
October 31st, 2014 at 7:02 PM ^
LOL: Red is 22-3 vs tech.
October 31st, 2014 at 7:15 PM ^
Pretty rabid pep band there
October 31st, 2014 at 7:08 PM ^
I'd love to that thing Brian talked about a few years ago: some sort of 'Michigan cup' every year. Play some intro games (2-4), then have your top 4 play a weekend tournament and your bottom four can get some non-con games vs each other or something.
Seven Michigan teams in D1, let Adrian play in it too (why not?) as they're the only DIII team in the state somehow. It would be so awesome
October 31st, 2014 at 7:12 PM ^
Did I just hear a "lucky save" chant? What a bunch of geeks.
October 31st, 2014 at 7:14 PM ^
Wouldve been bad news to give up the early PPG
October 31st, 2014 at 7:17 PM ^
Yikes, that was close. I think Racine should be starting. He's perfect this year in record.
October 31st, 2014 at 7:28 PM ^
Are you watching or just listening?
October 31st, 2014 at 7:31 PM ^
Listening but the crowd sounded like it was a goal.
October 31st, 2014 at 7:22 PM ^
not a good start....lucky its still 0-0
October 31st, 2014 at 7:25 PM ^
Ferris goes up 1-0 on State
October 31st, 2014 at 7:26 PM ^
I just love that WD has a million Mgopoints now.
October 31st, 2014 at 7:29 PM ^
Ha didnt even notice till you said that
October 31st, 2014 at 7:51 PM ^
That is awesome. I think he has more than Brian!
October 31st, 2014 at 7:29 PM ^
1-0 Tech
October 31st, 2014 at 7:30 PM ^
That was coming. We sound like we're playing awful so far
October 31st, 2014 at 7:30 PM ^
0-1. Dangerous.
October 31st, 2014 at 7:31 PM ^
Annnnd another PP for tech.
October 31st, 2014 at 7:32 PM ^
If we don't kill this we might get run out of the building
October 31st, 2014 at 7:33 PM ^
That's 13 goals given up by Nagelvoort in his 4 appearances.
October 31st, 2014 at 7:37 PM ^
So can we just run with one goalie from here on out?
October 31st, 2014 at 7:44 PM ^
Same old inconsistent shit. ugh.
October 31st, 2014 at 8:26 PM ^
Fire Brandon!
October 31st, 2014 at 7:58 PM ^
Way too much talent on this team for how we've played.
October 31st, 2014 at 8:03 PM ^
I believe more and more that he was a key part Red's massive run. We haven't been the same since Mel went back home. In fact, some might say we've been the biggest underperformer as compared to roster talent
October 31st, 2014 at 8:38 PM ^
Funny thing is Michigan is a way larger underperformer under Berenson than Michigan Football ever was given the talent and longevitiy of programs.
If the team underperforms again this year, you've got to think Berenson retires right? He's obviously earned the route to which he wants to finish his career. I'm just wondering, and no I dont believe this season will be a let down after last season..
October 31st, 2014 at 8:03 PM ^
Let's see if this anemic offense can finally punch one in here
