We look like the more talented team by a good bit right now. Outskating UNH and gettin a lot of time in their zone. Doesn't always count for anything in college hockey but it's a start

 About 1:00 of 5x3 coming for Michigan coming. Huge chance here. We've been getting some good chances. Discussing whether it'll be 5 minutes for UNH

Edit: Huge swing. The UNH player gets ejected. 5 minute major coming so 1:00 of 5x3 followed by almost 3 minutes of 5x4

and took another damn penalty. Going to 4x4 now for about 2 full minutes. Racine made a huge save on the mini-breakaway.

Maybe the refs just need to swallow their whistle a bit...

We are giving up a million odd man chances and breakaways. May be indicative of our young defensive corps but UNH has had at least 3 clear breakways on Racine. Could easily be 3 or 4 UNH goals by now

Every time Michigan goes up the sideboards on the powerplay UNH pressures hard, that leaves the point as the last man standing if we can't get the puck back down. We're playing with fire, because eventually it's going to go in on one of those breakaways.

Not sure what to make of it. Could be the benefit of home ice for all of BC's freshmen or it could be that Wisconsin is massively overrated

MSU also down 2-0 to UMass
