I don't think it's exaggerating to say that this is a must sweep weekend unless we'd like to leave our tournament hopes up to a) sweeping Minnesota or b) winning the B1G tournament
February 28th, 2014 at 6:09 PM ^
I don't even see us getting in at #14 where we are right now.
A loss at home will drop us below 16 in the RPI. You never want to have to fight back into the picture with only a few games left. Must win series.

Check out the WCBNSports broadcast here. We are better than BTN and won't pronounce Boo's name like a he's a utensil.

February 28th, 2014 at 6:25 PM ^
16 teams. It's a tough tournament to get in.
February 28th, 2014 at 6:25 PM ^
and inevitably the bottom two or three seeds are AQ champions from the lower leagues or unexpected tournament champions
To feel comfortable on selection sunday, you need to be in the top 10

The good news is that we generally beat OSU unless something is seriously awry (we swept #2 OSU in Columbus a few years ago when we were struggling)
The bad news is that we're 2-2 against Penn State over the last few weeks and that may be enough to say things are awry
February 28th, 2014 at 6:31 PM ^
Refreshing to see the classic maize with block M jerseys
February 28th, 2014 at 6:32 PM ^
Interesting that OSU is making a goalie change this weekend, they've been doing well lately
February 28th, 2014 at 6:34 PM ^
February 28th, 2014 at 6:34 PM ^
February 28th, 2014 at 6:36 PM ^
Fuck Ohio
February 28th, 2014 at 6:37 PM ^
Let's Go Blue! Beat Ohio!
February 28th, 2014 at 6:37 PM ^
FUCK! They score, 1-0 them.
February 28th, 2014 at 6:37 PM ^
For real...FUCK OHIO
February 28th, 2014 at 6:37 PM ^
Sloppy play led to a turnover. 1-0
February 28th, 2014 at 6:39 PM ^
This game has been so sloppy so far. No one can pass or control the puck.
Fortunately we've had more chances and should have ample opportunities to take this back
February 28th, 2014 at 6:39 PM ^
Defensive zone turnover, desperation line change and they score.
February 28th, 2014 at 6:42 PM ^
De Jong's stick broke on a great scoring chance leading to a 2-on-1.5 for OSU
February 28th, 2014 at 6:45 PM ^
"Buckeyes not hitting the net early." Who the fuck is this guy?!? Did he forget they scored an early goal??
February 28th, 2014 at 6:45 PM ^
We seriously turn it over in our own zone so damn much
February 28th, 2014 at 6:46 PM ^
We can't get any decent passing going and the puck's just bouncing around all over the place
February 28th, 2014 at 6:46 PM ^
Whoa C YA!
February 28th, 2014 at 6:47 PM ^
Michigan going on the PP
Need to get a hold of this game. This feels like that 1st Penn State loss where we didn't feel out of it early but dumb stuff was happening. Don't want to tempt fate by going down 2-0
February 28th, 2014 at 6:48 PM ^
I'd feel much better if we score a PPG.
February 28th, 2014 at 6:49 PM ^
they always seem a split second slow in the offensive zone which keeps them away from a scoring chance
February 28th, 2014 at 6:51 PM ^
OSU took a delayed penalty on the PP so we have 5x4, then a second of 6x4, then 6x5, and a second later back to 5x4
February 28th, 2014 at 6:51 PM ^
They're damn lucky it's only 2.
February 28th, 2014 at 6:52 PM ^
contact to the head...
February 28th, 2014 at 6:55 PM ^
tripping
February 28th, 2014 at 6:55 PM ^
Shit, Lynch going to the box.
February 28th, 2014 at 6:55 PM ^
get your heads out of your asses
February 28th, 2014 at 6:56 PM ^
It's sadly far too familiar to see an inferior team outskate us
February 28th, 2014 at 6:57 PM ^
Yay, PK!
February 28th, 2014 at 7:00 PM ^
Made a chance out of nothing by flat skating past the OSU defender. Wish we had 10 of him
February 28th, 2014 at 7:01 PM ^
Guptill! 1-1!
February 28th, 2014 at 7:01 PM ^
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
February 28th, 2014 at 7:02 PM ^
Guptill
I do have to say he looks like he's giving a better effort than usual. Maybe the time off last Saturday helped
February 28th, 2014 at 7:03 PM ^
Huge goal in the final minute of the period.
February 28th, 2014 at 7:05 PM ^
Shots 7-5, faceoffs 11-6 for Michigan. 0-2 on the PP vs 0-1 for them.
February 28th, 2014 at 7:05 PM ^
Hideous passing for most of it, a ton of bouncing pucks. Not sure if that's on us or the ice. Otherwise we seemed to generally have the higher quantity of chances, though very few were quality
February 28th, 2014 at 7:14 PM ^
February 28th, 2014 at 7:23 PM ^
February 28th, 2014 at 7:24 PM ^
and it feels like nothing has happened. A lot of OSU making it hard for poor-passing Michigan to do anything and OSU not good enough to generate much of anything. Just joking around in the neutral zone the whole game
February 28th, 2014 at 7:26 PM ^
That should've been an OSU goal
February 28th, 2014 at 7:32 PM ^
Just because it's convenient to say doesn't mean it's right
