Is it on TV? What channel?
January 26th, 2013 at 8:30 PM ^
So glad I got Directv yesterday! With being in Chicago I could never see any games on FSD. Now with Directv I get the channel and can watch the hockey game tonight. Gotta love their sports pack. Get regional sports channels from all over the country.

Dammit, they score. 1-1.
January 26th, 2013 at 8:36 PM ^

January 26th, 2013 at 8:38 PM ^
Fuck the ponies.
January 26th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
FUCK! PPG, them, they go ahead 2-1.
January 26th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
and 2-1...NOT michigan winning
January 26th, 2013 at 8:41 PM ^
FUCKFUCKFUCK WESTERN SO DAMN MUCH. I LOVE YOU GREG JENNINGS BUT GODDAMN I HATE THAT PLACE
January 26th, 2013 at 8:50 PM ^
No love for them?
January 26th, 2013 at 8:53 PM ^
I'm a Packers fan.
January 26th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
Not like Delmas or Scheffler are helping the lions much anyhow....
January 26th, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
Fuck I hate the 2nd period this season.
This team is pretty much done at this point I've realized. I'll never give up and stop watching them but it's just very depressing that we can't even hold a lead anymore. 2-0 lead last should have been a win. I just want this season to be over at this point. They can still get into the tourney but they'd have to put together 6 wins in 3 weeks in the playoffs.
January 26th, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
What a garbage season.
January 26th, 2013 at 8:48 PM ^
Wow. 1st year program penn state knocked off sparty in el. They've beaten 2 B1G teams this year (state & ohio)
January 26th, 2013 at 8:54 PM ^
I'm lovin it.
January 26th, 2013 at 8:54 PM ^
ARGH! Stay out of the damn box!
January 26th, 2013 at 8:54 PM ^
So this is the first game I've seen this season (thanks for the heads up op)...is this game par for the course for the year?
January 26th, 2013 at 9:01 PM ^
Michigan likes to get off to a decent start, then just kind of fizzle off and lose.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:02 PM ^
Actually, it's a closer game than many others.
January 26th, 2013 at 8:55 PM ^
So the announcers are saying it should have been a penalty against Western but the student section (no surprise) is calling the penalty on Michigan (hence the "asshole" chant). Anybody watching the game care to enlighten us?
January 26th, 2013 at 9:03 PM ^
Coincidental roughing minors.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:03 PM ^
FFFFUUUUU. 3-1 them.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:03 PM ^
gosh darnit.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:04 PM ^
Notre Dame leads Ferris 4-2, early 3rd.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:04 PM ^
I'm really starting to hate Western Michigan hockey.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:06 PM ^
They'll slide back into being the no name program they are once they go into the nchc. Michigan isn't going to play them next year.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:05 PM ^
These announcers are wankers. And yes, that includes matt shepherd. I wish Michigan would can his ass as basketball play-by-play anyways.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:06 PM ^
Just sayin
January 26th, 2013 at 9:10 PM ^
You are a t-shirt fan, just saying.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:33 PM ^
I am a wmu alum who also is a bif michigan fan. I would prefer both clubs to be playing good, michigan just isnt this year. And yes, i have t shirts for both schools.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:45 PM ^
Interesting how you just stopped by to post the negative comment towards Michigan. Mr."bif Michigan fan".
January 26th, 2013 at 9:08 PM ^
So how original are we with our chants?
I thought the minute left in the period call by the student section was unique, but now that I heard Western did it I can't help but feel we took it from somebody else. Does anybody have any insight on this?
January 26th, 2013 at 9:12 PM ^
COY took the chants from cornell. Cornell came here in the 90s for an NCAA Tournament series and their students were chanting a bunch of things. Cornell made mostly every chant COY does up. We perfected it though.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:18 PM ^
If the intertubes can be believed, Wisconsin started the sieve chant.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:13 PM ^
We took most of Cornell's a while back, but both Miami and Western took a bunch of ours within the last few years.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:09 PM ^
/sigh
BG is losing 3-1 to Miami.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:28 PM ^
And there's that 3-goal deficit again.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:29 PM ^
/crying
January 26th, 2013 at 9:32 PM ^
1-5.
Just end this season.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:35 PM ^
I enjoy hockey but this is just a bad year, gotta have them once every quarter century I suppose...
January 26th, 2013 at 9:36 PM ^
They were up 2-0 last night and I went over to look at the standings and I thought if they got on a roll they could still make some noise. I feel so dumb right now.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:42 PM ^
Not the way I wanted to end our time in the CCHA.
January 27th, 2013 at 2:29 AM ^
MSU and UM, the premier programs of Michigan and the conference for a decade plus, have both shit the bed this season. What a crappy season
January 26th, 2013 at 9:47 PM ^
Time for Red to go.
January 26th, 2013 at 9:50 PM ^
One bad season? Okay then. I think UNC should have fired Roy Williams after 2009, or maybe Duke should have fired K after 1995. Calipari is going to miss the bball tourney this year, better fire him.
Look, if both the awesome goalies we were suppose to have weren't ganked away, do you really think this year is that bad?
January 26th, 2013 at 9:57 PM ^
Just stating my opinion. And it's more than one bad season.
To answer your question, yes I do think year would have been almost as bad even with the goaltending we expected.
January 26th, 2013 at 10:12 PM ^
That the only way Red can have been considered to have had more than one bad season since 1990, is because he has raised the bar that high.
And, out of curiosity, who do you suggest replacing him with? Mel and his sterling 7-12-4 record at Tech this year? Mike Babcock?
January 26th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
Well I'm sorry but the bar should be high. It's not like there are that many big-time schools with successful hockey programs and with the resources that we have. In my opinion, Michigan has underperformed for about 5 years now. I honestly believe that although Red has done great things for us, it is time for him to move on.
