U-M Hockey @ MN - Friday Open Thread
Our #3 icers travel to face the #11 Gophers, who are JLFless, and just split with AK. To paraphrase Alex in the hockey pod, with the Olympics coming up in Feb, we need to get all the points we can while we still have our players. We're in 1st place with 29 pts; MN is 4pts back with 2 games in hand.
Time: 9PM ET
Watch: ESPNU
Listen: MGoBlue Audio
Let's Go Blue! Kill the Gophers!

Worked overnight last night so no chance I’ll be able to stay up for this one so you guys do the cheering for me tonight. Huge series. Go blue!
January 21st, 2022 at 8:36 PM ^
Take a nap now, and during each intermission. :D
January 21st, 2022 at 8:43 PM ^
Surprised to see Mel broke up the super line tonight. Brisson back with Bordeleau again. We’ll see how this goes
January 21st, 2022 at 8:53 PM ^
Maybe Bordeleau had a good week of practice. Also hopefully both lines will produce, and MN can't focus on just one.
January 21st, 2022 at 8:45 PM ^
January 21st, 2022 at 8:55 PM ^
Wooo! Big game
January 21st, 2022 at 8:56 PM ^

January 21st, 2022 at 9:04 PM ^
Their sieve is small, hopefully it's bombs away on him.
Game on!
January 21st, 2022 at 9:07 PM ^
Good poke check by Power.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:08 PM ^
D'OH! Holding on Beniers @ 4:30.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:12 PM ^
Yay, PK!
January 21st, 2022 at 9:12 PM ^
Can't help but notice the bigger ice surface any time I see Michigan playing @Minnesota.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:16 PM ^
Pretty obvious dive, but he did hook him.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:16 PM ^
D'OH! Tripping on Van Wyhe @ 9:46.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:17 PM ^
What a bullshit call.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:18 PM ^
Ugh, the penalties....
January 21st, 2022 at 9:19 PM ^
Yay, PK!
January 21st, 2022 at 9:22 PM ^
Our first PP opportunity!
January 21st, 2022 at 9:23 PM ^
Hooking on them @ 14:18.
But they missed a high hit on Beniers.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:26 PM ^
Finally got some shots on goal, but all saved. No joy.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:27 PM ^
Double...lol
January 21st, 2022 at 9:27 PM ^
They need a goal of of this pp.
Edit: nope.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:28 PM ^
D'OH! Another penalty on us. Moyle for goalie interference @ 16:47.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:29 PM ^
LOL that call. Fucking Big Ten refs.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:29 PM ^
Fuck you ref
January 21st, 2022 at 9:30 PM ^
Phew, Portillo, screened, was hit by first shot he didn't really see, big rebound, but he kept it out until the whistle.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:31 PM ^
Ref show
January 21st, 2022 at 9:32 PM ^
That's another bullshit call
January 21st, 2022 at 9:32 PM ^
Goalie interference on them? No, Charging the goalie @ 18:42.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:33 PM ^
Obvious call, shut up Motzko.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:34 PM ^
Scoreless after 1
January 21st, 2022 at 9:34 PM ^
0-0 after one.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:36 PM ^
"Michigan only 4 shots on goal!"
Well, Bucci, when the homer refs put you on the PK all period, kinda hard to get shots.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:38 PM ^
I think we also had 4 chances that missed the net.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:37 PM ^
Shots: U-M 4, MN 9. We have 42sec of PP left to start 2nd.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:48 PM ^
2nd period under way. Let's Goal Blue!
January 21st, 2022 at 9:49 PM ^
No joy.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:54 PM ^
Crosschecking on them @ 4:27.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:56 PM ^
No joy again.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:59 PM ^
with them packing the house on the their pk, im not sure why were sending 1 and sometimes 2 guys to the front of the net on the pp. just adds to the congestion.
January 21st, 2022 at 10:00 PM ^
Our best-looking PP of the night, but still fruitless.
January 21st, 2022 at 10:03 PM ^
Even Minnesota on the big ice plays scared of us. Such a bummer.
January 21st, 2022 at 10:06 PM ^
GOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLL!
Duke! 1-0 U-M!
