Michigan - Wisconsin: Open Thread

Someone just barely got a piece of it and it sneaked past Nagelvoort. It was a bouncer

I've griped about our passing lately but it's been very good tonight. As opposed to kill chances with our passing, we've made a lot of chances out of nothing tonight (see: 2nd goal)

Nieves with a shot straight off the pipe. Nearly made it 4-1

Hooking/tripping it looked like

I have honestly never seen the play called dead for that. Whats the rule there?

Weeeeaaaakkkk

but it killed off two minutes at least...

that was holding on Guptill?

So he was holding the guy standing on his back? Alright refs. Just admit you felt bad for giving us more powerplays than them so far

I get that they probably got him for holding the stick but that is ticky tack

These refs do not understand how hybrid icing works

Bad turnover by NIeves. Probably coulda-shoulda been 3-2 now

but no goal. A lot of sexy moves

I've heard Shuart and Hyman's names more tonight than I have all season

Wisconsin is getting long passes behind the D with increasing frequency. No bueno

5:45 to go

Exactly 4:30 to go. Michigan controlling play more right now

3:20 to go. 3-1

Pressure back and forth. Both teams look tired.

2:21 to go

1:30. Rumple still in net

Game ova

1:25 to go

Rumple was going to the bench and Wisconsin's extra attacker left way too early apparently. Thats probably gonna kill any hope of a miracle comeback for them

Sigh

Will be 4x4, probably 5x4 with the empty net.

:40 to go

A W tomorrow night will put us in 2nd I believe
