Shameless self promotion...
I'm live at Yost providing coverage of this weekend's games against Notre Dame. Game tonight is only available on BigTenNetwork.com ($$$). If you can't watch or listen to the games, or can and wanna join anyway, stop on by. Tonight's game is a Maize Out. Hopefully they can end their poor Friday night performances.
See you there
I have big ten network, but
I have big ten network, but can't watch the darn thing? This is BS..there should be equal rules for everybody.
Touchdown Michigan!
BTN
BTN was originally scheduled to air tonight's game, but dumped us for the Michigan State vs. Eastern Michigan basketball showdown. That's twice this season that the BTN was suppose to air a hockey game and didn't.
Shegos reffing tonight... oh joy!

Know it hasn't started just yet, but you used to be able to tune in and hear a little bit of the pregame discussion.

It is up, though the quality seems markedly worse than usual (breaking up rather than just sounding like a radio feed - sounds like they've got some kind of a filter on so that you can't easily hear the crowd noise, etc. Lame.).
Argh
1-0 ND early...
Argh Redacted!
Hagelin scores almost immediately. 1-1 early 1st.
Heja, Sverige! More, please,
Heja, Sverige! More, please, I'm tired of this last-season-esque win one, lose one deal.
In other M sports news, women's b-ball is up on Alcorn State 36 - 9 with less than 3 to go in the first half. Apparently Alcorn State is not very good.
Now with 100% less South Bend, 100% more Washington DC.
41 - 9 at the half. I don't
41 - 9 at the half. I don't care how shitty Alcorn State is, holding any b-ball team under 10 points in a half is impressive!
Now with 100% less South Bend, 100% more Washington DC.
1-1 Holds
End 1st Period.
Still 1-1 after two...
Notre Dame started the period strong, outshooting U-M 9-1 at one point, but Michigan finished strong and had a lot of good chances to close the stanza. Louie hit the post, Hagelin just missed Louie on a two-on-one. shots are 19-18 ND, and it's time to DANCE!
Guh. 2 - 1, ND. So sick of

3 - 1 now, 2nd half of the 3rd. Wake me when we actually show up for a whole series, instead of this constant splitting & tying.
Now with 100% less South Bend, 100% more Washington DC.
Damn
I guess Im glad it wasn't shown on tv. We def. can show up for the first game in the series thats for sure. Whos in net tonight if you don't mind?
Hunwick is in. Can't really
Hunwick is in. Can't really blame this one on him, he's getting zero goal support.
Now with 100% less South Bend, 100% more Washington DC.
Goal support missing
Very Billy Sauer-esque when he lost out to Hogan his senior season because they wouldn't score with him in net. I'm really not sure what the problem is with the team this year. Friday nights they just can't get motivated enough. Very reminiscent in that respect of last year also.

Someone needs to step up on
Someone needs to step up on this team to reverse the course, and I mean vocally and performance.
Is game Final?
Is the game over?
Notre Dame deserved the win tonight....
The game was boring as hell, both teams were very sloppy...but ND outworked Michigan all over the ice....very disappointing. Our big players (cough, louie, lynch, wohlberg, rust, brown cough) have to start impacting games
At least
At least we got tomorrow night to make up for it, but like said earlier we need to get over these splits and start winning these series. Hopefully we can get it together sooner than later
This season is starting just

When was the last time Michigan won a Friday nite?!

Was the last Friday night win, 4-1.
The defensemen were not good
That last goal summed up our night on the blue line. Stupid, sloppy play (Moffie goes for an unnecessary hit at the blue line and ignores the puck) leads to golden opportunity for Notre Dame on the other end of the ice.
How did ND and Miami improve so much?
A lot
of coaching. Jeff Jackson led Lake Superior to a couple national titles in the early '90's, then left for, the CHL? I'm not sure, but he left college all together. Notre Dame lured him back with a lot of money and the promise to build a new rink.
Rico Blasi is a Miami grad who was an assistant under George Gwozdecky (who now coaches Denver, which is generally a very strong hockey school). When Gwoz left Miami for Denver, I believe Rico followed, still as an assistant, then when Miami's next coach didn't turn out so good, Rico was hired by Miami (after our very own Mel Pearson turned the job down).
Also, they've both (especially Miami) been recruiting players a year or two out of high school, from junior leagues. So what they lose in talent, by not being good enough to draw the most talented recruits, they gain back in size and experience from having another year or two of practicing and coaching. Obviously it took very little time for Notre Dame, with it's name and a recognized coach, to start getting a ton of talent. Miami just kept on winning and developing and I believe it's next year's class that they're REALLY excited about.
Thanks
Good info.
Although I'd like a Big Ten hockey league when PSU gets going, I'd miss having ND and Miami to compete against in the league. Maybe the Big Ten could allow a few of the other teams to play in a "Big Ten" hockey league, since NW, Nebraska-Lincoln, Iowa, Purdue, Indiana and Illinois don't have teams.
Looks like this game will be
Looks like this game will be replayed at BTN at 2 pm
