Michigan Hockey vs Miami Game Thread
MIchigan takes on the next installment of the Redhawks dynasty tonight. Really wanna kick their asses in the last year of the CCHA. Puck drops around 7:30.
If you want another way to get your hockey fix, Grand Rapids Griffins game is on Fox Sports Detroit right now. Already up 2-0.

He clearly didn't have possession and control, but his stick was touching the puck and he was in Trouba's way. Better to keep control of the game, but not an especially strong call there, IMO.

Gongshow in full force.
Can't wait for 2013-2014 and the Gongshow will be dead and buried.
October 26th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
At least they didn't score.
Racine may make errors, but he's also made some big saves.
October 26th, 2012 at 9:39 PM ^
3-2! Chiasson!!!

Thank you Mr. Chiasson, but I would still enjoy more goals.

Does Czarnik (sp) have AFLAC or a death wish?
October 26th, 2012 at 9:57 PM ^
Dang, Treais robbed of a hat trick.

I think the power play is the best I've seen it over the past 4 years. So much possession and pressure. Trouba has a rocket loaded on the blue line.
October 26th, 2012 at 10:00 PM ^
Beat them again tomorrow !!!
October 26th, 2012 at 10:00 PM ^
Big win. Let's go for the sweep tomorrow night!!
October 26th, 2012 at 10:01 PM ^
4 - 2
GO BLUE!
October 26th, 2012 at 10:04 PM ^
Wonder why Comcast doesn't have tomorrow night's game. Because of football, they don't think it's worth it? I'd record it, if it were on.

Michigan Hockey is the only time that network gets viewers. All of their other programming is local crap that is low budget-sports talk replays from 2004.
They know that Michigan Football is priority #1 here.
October 26th, 2012 at 10:09 PM ^
So honestly? I didn't think we played that great and we still beat a good team. I'm optimistic.
Thought Racine looked good on pucks he was in the net for, if he can get the puck handling figured out, maybe he's the long term solution.
Trouba is the real deal. A couple freshman mistakes, but that kid is super talented.
October 26th, 2012 at 10:19 PM ^
They blanked Army 5-0 tonight. Not that that is a measure of greatness, but I figured coming up from the ACHA they'd be absolute doormats. The fact that they appear to be the equivalent of a decent AHA team means they may be able to compete in the B1G way early than I thought
October 26th, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
Wait until Michigan plays them. Calling it right now, Michigan will put up double digit goals.
October 26th, 2012 at 11:49 PM ^
I agree, but at the same time the B1G only has 6 teams. Two of which are perennial powers in Minnesota and Michigan. OSU and Wisconsin are solid as well. MSU isn't good right now, but Anastos isn't quite the train wreck some thought he'd be.
October 27th, 2012 at 1:02 AM ^
Yeah, by compete I didn't necessarily mean like...finish in the top half of the conference. I meant like actually winning conference games. I expected PSU to go like 0-20 in conference play their first few years but if they're approximately like a mid-level AHA team they might be able to sneak out 5 or so conference wins which is much better than I think most would expect

Great win over an overrated miami team. Hate those bastards, and it's fun to watch their whiny tool of a coach cry the entire time like he is so good at doing.
Can't listen to tomorrows game because of a certain football game on at the same time, but I'll be there in spirit. Apparently Rutledge is getting the start tomorrow per Red on the intermission interview.
Go Blue and Get the sweep!

arguably Michigan's best player is still in the press box with a fractured vertebrae. This team has every chance to be scary good this season when Merrill comes back. They still have a few things to work out, they need to not have the bad period they've had in every game I've seen so far this year and one/both of the goalies need to get comfortable. But the PP seems to be getting fairly dangerous again, the PK looks like it's still going at a high level, the offense is far more potent that I expected and more, the offense is "clutch" and AJ might even be becoming the go-to scorer they haven't really had since at least Louie Caporusso his sophomore year. They really need to cut down on the goals allowed, but I think they will and I'm reall excited to see how far this team can go.

scored an unassisted goal for the USNTDPQJP against Minnesota in their 2-2 draw.

how long has there been no touch icing in college hockey?
October 27th, 2012 at 2:13 PM ^
it's a judgement call on the linesman's part. From the rulebook (Section 27 (g)):
Judgement of first player to touch puck. For the purpose of interpretation of this rule, icing is completed the instant the puck crosses the goal line, unless an attacking player, who is onside at the blue line and with no opponent between that player and the goal line and is clearly in position to be the first player to touch the puck. Icing shall not be called in this situation. This decision by the official shall be made no later than the first player reaching the end zone face-off dots. If the puck enters the goal in this situation icing shall not be called and a goal shall be awarded.
