Boo BTN, boo
The BTN announcers looooooooove Penn State. Goodness
Pretty even game
Michigan with a great chance. No dice
Starting to force the play now. Finally looking like Michigan out there. Only took 50+ minutes to wake up...Sheesh
Another good chance or two. I am terrified
Nagelvoort!! What a save!!
OH YEAAA WHAT A SAVE!!!
Tried to poke check in the neutral zone, whiffed, and gave up a 2-1
Wow. Right when I compliment them, they turn into a sloppy team. What the heck.
Oh man Guptill what a chance!
close one
A few excellent chances for Michigan. PSU nearly had a grade A chance and missed
Faceoff in the pSU zone
Going to OT
Uhhhhhh. OT.
Overtime
Overtime here we come
A huge chance in front with :10 left and Boo almost had it in. Skoff just barely kicked it
Does anyone know if it is sudden death or do they have shootouts?
I think its sudden death
more commonly known as sudden death overtime
Whenever we dominate toward the end of regulation and can't finish, it always seems like we lose the OT period
Well, next goal is a big one.
Shots 30-44 them, faceoffs even at 33. No PP goals for anyone.
Sucks to feel lucky to be going to OT vs psu
In college hockey, they call it "sudden victory"
With how Michigan's tournaments normally end, it's more often 'sudden soul crushing sadness'
Michigan's season always ends in OT
I'm remembering Notre Dame 08, Miami 10, Duluth 11, and Cornell 12
but still mostly awkward
go out and make that next goal happen. Nages will have our back.
Here we go.
Great Play but didn't work
Dang, Skoff got over.
Wow. What a scoring chance! CMON MICHIGAN BURY THAT!!
OHHHHH. COMPHER ALMOST BURIED IT
getting after them early; keep up the pressure!
Couple nice plays to end it but they were stopped.
I remain terrified
We're playing hard and getting some good chances in OT
the team that was supposed to start the game?
We look great so far.
/fear
Almost a Bobby Orr goal
We are looking a lot better. Gotta bury it soon.
stay loose, get after that puck. Be rewarded.
If we played like this in regulation it would've been 4-0
whew
