I actually think our offense look more comfortable on the olympic sheet than we do on our own (NHL sized) ice. The big sheet seems more condusive to our talent style - quicker, more individually gifted
February 14th, 2014 at 9:23 PM ^
Dammit, on the PK.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:24 PM ^
That penalty looked iffy
February 14th, 2014 at 9:24 PM ^
All four of our guys were basically backed into the crease
February 14th, 2014 at 9:41 PM ^
Or is it the size of the ice? Or are we just setting up too deep?
February 14th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
C'mon, Racine, hold onto the puck!
February 14th, 2014 at 9:27 PM ^
February 14th, 2014 at 9:29 PM ^
do you know anyone from the future?
February 14th, 2014 at 9:30 PM ^
February 14th, 2014 at 9:30 PM ^
Yay, PK!
February 14th, 2014 at 9:32 PM ^
Specifically North Dakota or UMD in 2011. Somehow clinging to life - pucks seeming like they should be going in left and right but miraculously not going in
February 14th, 2014 at 10:07 PM ^
February 14th, 2014 at 9:33 PM ^
Sigh, stay out of the damn box.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:33 PM ^
Wow, these penalties are getting a bit ridiculous.
Learn how to skate, Minnesota.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:35 PM ^
Yep, this feels like the national championship game. Just perpetually on the PK
February 14th, 2014 at 9:35 PM ^
Minnesota is damn good
February 14th, 2014 at 9:36 PM ^
Blocked shots are saving our bacon tonight. Clare just took a nice one
February 14th, 2014 at 9:37 PM ^
Wow, I feel kinda lucky it's only 1-0.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:39 PM ^
Minnesota probably feels how I normally feel when I watch Michigan play someone they're far better than. Outshoot them like mad but somehow not score.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:37 PM ^
February 14th, 2014 at 9:39 PM ^
Someone thinks so.
Minnesota is awesome. I'm not even going to be mad when Michigan gets hammered here.

At least we can count on them flaming out in the tournament
February 14th, 2014 at 9:45 PM ^
Now they can't blame it on how they're so beat up after the WCHA season.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:47 PM ^
It's going to be tough for North Dakota and Minnesota fans to justify their teams losing without that crutch
February 14th, 2014 at 9:54 PM ^
February 14th, 2014 at 9:40 PM ^
We barely had any zone time in that period, but Racine was huge. Without him standing on his head it would already be a blowout.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:46 PM ^
Someone else please confirm with me that this is a replay of the Minnesota-Duluth game. Superior offense unable to score but leaving us perpetually on the PK. We are not losing 7-0 because we have a good goalie
February 14th, 2014 at 9:48 PM ^
February 14th, 2014 at 9:50 PM ^
Racine had 15 saves in the first period.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:50 PM ^
1-0 them.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:50 PM ^
February 14th, 2014 at 9:49 PM ^
Woo, Spike Albrecht commercial!
February 14th, 2014 at 9:54 PM ^
Nice play by DiGiuseppe & Compher.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:54 PM ^
Crap, breakaway score, 2-0 them.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:55 PM ^
Sad times for us
Just saw the replay. That's a sad goal
February 14th, 2014 at 9:55 PM ^
This michigan team blows being full of NHL players somehow.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
No doubt they seem to underachive...but we are playing at basically the #1 team in the country. This isn't completely shocking.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:56 PM ^
That guy was fast, just skated past our D to get in alone.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:57 PM ^
And they get a PP? Fuck.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:57 PM ^
February 14th, 2014 at 9:58 PM ^
Friday night vs PSU he was giving up rebounds left and right which led to all 3 PSU goals. Then he melted down Saturday. Can't say I disagree with Red - if you struggle at PSU, not sure you can expect it to magically get better at Minnesota
February 14th, 2014 at 10:00 PM ^
If he's not mentally tough enough to take a benching, then why would you want him in goal?
February 14th, 2014 at 10:12 PM ^
I don't know what's going on in the locker room, but all things being equal, I disagree.
February 14th, 2014 at 9:57 PM ^
Like 5-0, outshot 40-20 type of game
February 14th, 2014 at 9:59 PM ^
This is the problem. We get down and our defensemen try way to hard to create offense. Sinelli got caught pinching, but Tyler Motte was playing defense because Clare was already on a pinch.
February 14th, 2014 at 10:01 PM ^
if all those NHL draft picks up front aren't going to create offense it seems like someone should...
February 14th, 2014 at 10:01 PM ^
Fucking dammit...wide open net
February 14th, 2014 at 10:02 PM ^
...did we not score there?
February 14th, 2014 at 10:02 PM ^
We've had some chances recently, just can't seem to find the back of the net.
February 14th, 2014 at 10:02 PM ^
There were 2 or 3 consecutive 'how did that not go in?' moments
