Congrats to Dan Nichol the new strength coach for WMU football...just saying.
January 25th, 2013 at 6:59 PM ^
Let's Go Blue!
We have two games @ WMU, currently tied for 1st. State is hosting Penn State for two games this weekend, so they will stay in the CCHA cellar. BG, which is tied with us in 9th place, is @ Miami for two games. NMU in 8th with 20 pts is @ AK for two games. Sure would be nice to gain some points and move up a bit.

Janecyk getting his 4th straight start. Guess we'll just start walk ons forever. As long as it works I'm fine w/ it
January 25th, 2013 at 7:10 PM ^
Couple good chances early. We've got to get the puck in the net, though.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:14 PM ^
Nothing would be more beneficial to our noble cause than to get a quick one and shut this crowd up.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:15 PM ^
Phil diGiuseppe! 1-0 U-M!!!
January 25th, 2013 at 7:16 PM ^
Wow, I thought Nieves had lost the puck. Great diving play on the assist. Plus we're on the PP.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:18 PM ^
Guptill PPG!!! 2-0 U-M!!!
January 25th, 2013 at 7:19 PM ^
We want MOAR GOALS!!!
January 25th, 2013 at 7:19 PM ^
I blacked out there...are we winning 2-0 in the first? This happens in hockey this year?
January 25th, 2013 at 7:20 PM ^
So when did we become good again?
January 25th, 2013 at 7:22 PM ^
Shhhh, it's still early.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:26 PM ^
Shit, they score. 2-1 now.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:28 PM ^
Hunwick. Nothing better than actually being confident in your goalie, that's not there right now.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:32 PM ^
Tiny Jesus saves.
I hope Racine and Rutledge make big improvents for next year.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:31 PM ^
NHLN is blacked out here and the f*cking Pisstons are on tonight instead on FSD. What gives.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:32 PM ^

January 25th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^

January 25th, 2013 at 7:35 PM ^
We can has another PPG?
January 25th, 2013 at 7:43 PM ^
But we can give up the tying goal with a minute left. Ohh this hockey team...
January 25th, 2013 at 7:42 PM ^
FUCK! 2-2.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:42 PM ^
goddamn
January 25th, 2013 at 7:46 PM ^
Where did the sieve chant start?
January 25th, 2013 at 8:52 PM ^
...back in late 80s, along with some others, most not suitable for print. Cornell was invited 4th team to GLI at or just after that time. Group of us did those chants at the Joe. One of that group of us went UM law school & continued tradition, always claimed we/he brought all those rude cheers here to Ann Arbor. Never believed him, & still don't, but was an article in the daily a few years back about crackdown on the foul language in some of these chants at Yost & article did trace their arrival to Cornell's appearance in GLI when these "rude fans" brought some of those nasty cheers out here. (I can believe Cornell fans in general, of which we were part, brought some of these chants, but my friend kind of claims personal responsibility.) Goalie - Sieve was definitely the mildest.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:52 PM ^
I'm in the social work school at WMU, waited outside in line for close to 30 minutes, and it reached capacity before I could get in. Seems like the first had a lot of action.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:08 PM ^
It's amazing how arrogant that twits from western are with how little they've won and how empty their trophycase is.
People can say whatever they want about us being arrogant but we earned that right by Michigan winning and filling Yost with championship banners.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:09 PM ^
How are they being arrogant?
January 25th, 2013 at 8:30 PM ^
Have you ever been to a game where they're there? Or post on uscho?
January 25th, 2013 at 9:21 PM ^
No, I'm genuinely curious how they're being arrogant. I've heard they are before but am just wondering what some examples are.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:11 PM ^
It's Friday night....hockey game's on.
Common dude come clean - why the minus 1MM points? What the F did you do?
January 25th, 2013 at 8:31 PM ^
I made a joke about the illegal immigrants in arizona and the rest of the southwest and it was deemed over the line.
January 25th, 2013 at 9:16 PM ^
Sorry to hear that dude. Ill-timed and innapropriate jokes seem to the most common way folks around here get slammed. It's why I never, ever repeat jokes - especially the real funny ones.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:11 PM ^
Anybody watching on Western's feed? Was that a dive?
January 25th, 2013 at 8:18 PM ^
but has anyone else started to enjoy watching the pistons? I feel like Lawrence Frank is doing a great job making htis team servicable (compared to where they could be).
January 25th, 2013 at 8:26 PM ^
FUCK! They go ahead 3-2.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:27 PM ^
Well those first 8 minutes of the first period were fun
January 25th, 2013 at 8:32 PM ^
Three unanswered goals. /sigh
January 25th, 2013 at 8:46 PM ^
Need our best period of the season right here. Let's go fellas!
January 25th, 2013 at 8:48 PM ^
The lunatics are amateurs. First they ban little kids from riding the zamboni at the intermissions because the lunatics were trying to get them to do inappropriate gestures. In the 2nd the PA had to warn them to use appropriate language.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:54 PM ^
I'm in Chicago right now, and the TV I'm watching on has two different college hockey games (Minnesota on BTN, Yale Cornell on NBC) and a freaking AHL game, but I can't watch either the Michigan Or Red Wings games. Sigh.
OT, but they are talking about Penn State's new program. Has anybody been paying attention to them this year? How are they doing? Are they going to be an okay program in the B1G next year?
January 25th, 2013 at 9:02 PM ^
Dunno, but PSU is currently tied with MSU at 3.
January 25th, 2013 at 9:04 PM ^
They're playing pretty damn well for a first-year program in D1. I'm hoping they do well and looking forward to what could be an awesome hockey rivalry.
January 25th, 2013 at 9:14 PM ^
PSU is 9-12-0, per USCHO.
January 25th, 2013 at 9:22 PM ^
Yeah, I'd say that is pretty good for their first year in D1.
January 25th, 2013 at 9:09 PM ^
We should have pulled the fire alarm last period.
January 25th, 2013 at 9:20 PM ^
Western and UM schedule some non conference games after this year. As a wmu alum i love seeing the hockey program doing good, and developing a rivalry between the two schools is a good thing.
January 25th, 2013 at 9:22 PM ^
PP us with seconds left.
Edit: Gah, no extra time put on. 3-2, they win.
