U-M Hockey @ MN - Saturday Open Thread
So it's come down to this. NCAA tie dropped us to 21st in pairwise. A 3pt win tonight means we host a BTT series, so let's get that. (Link to Sambojangles & mfan_in_ohio's informative posts.)
Time: 6PM ET
Watch: FSD+/ FS North
Listen: MGoBlue audio
Let's Go Blue! Get that 5pt sweep! License to kill gophers!

Odd that a tie with the #14 Pairwise team on the road moved them up to #12 and us down a spot. Must’ve been some strange outcomes last night in other games.
win tonight would move Michigan up to 18, while dropping Minny to 19. Tie and we move back up to 20, loss and we stay at 21. Again, other results around the country would give some margin for error on this calculation.
At large bid would be theoretically in play should we win out and make the conference finals, might need an upset or two nationally along the way. Lose or tie tonight and winning the conference looks like the only way in.

No joy.
February 29th, 2020 at 6:33 PM ^
Didn't think I could watch this game until I saw this post and it says FSD plus. I turned that channel on and there is no programming. Is this incorrect that FSD plus is covering the game?
February 29th, 2020 at 6:35 PM ^
I'm watching FSD+.
February 29th, 2020 at 6:48 PM ^
I have DirecTV and FSD plus has nothing.
February 29th, 2020 at 6:53 PM ^
Sorry to hear that. I've got Comcrap, which is showing it.
February 29th, 2020 at 7:06 PM ^
Fire stick fox sports to go app with DirecTV as provider I can watch it. Odd.

At the moment it looks like it's going to be tough for us to get to 3 goals.
February 29th, 2020 at 7:43 PM ^
What is the significance of 3 goals ?
February 29th, 2020 at 7:44 PM ^
We haven't won (3pts) this season with less than 3.
[Edit] And last night was the first time we got 2pts with 2 goals.
But, hey, if tonight is the first time we get a 3pt win with 2 goals, I'll take it. :D
