Nazar! 1-0 U-M!

We want MOAR goals!

D'OH! Draper to the box for Tripping @ 9:13.

Yay, PK!

Lapointe to Moldy in front, but he got pokechecked.

Save, Barczewski! Against a 2v1.

Hey, they ran Barzo!

It did get called, Goalie Interference @ 13:22.

No joy.

Boarding? [Draper got sent headfirst into the boards.] No call.

FUCK! They score. 1-1.

Fig Things had a long TOP in zone. We couldn't clear. Then DZTO.

U-M challenging for missed major. [For hit on Draper? Al thinks so.]

No major. Of fucking course. We lose TO.

1-1 after one. Shots even at 12. We had 7 blocks to 3.

Other game: MN 0, PSU 2, after one.

2nd period under way.

T. Duke, be more careful! Clipped our net, it fell into the back of Barzo's legs, and he fell back on top of the net.

Other game: PSU scores, 3-0 over MN, late mid 2nd.

Casey pirouette inside the blue line, fell down, got up, then drove the left side, crossed in front. Shot saved. We've had some good pressure this period, but haven't put the puck in the net.

Lapointe gets checked into the post, has a chat with the ref, no call.

GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!

D. Duke!! 2-1 U-M!!

Fig Thing DZTO, tic-tac-toe, goal!

We want MOAR goals!!

WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA C YA!!

Warren sent hard into the boards. Crosschecking @ 18:00. Under further review.

[Edit] He went off the ice bent over. Hope he's OK.

Also a couple of us in the box for post-hit stuff? Only one more of them. WTF?

FUCK YOU, REFS! Only a minor. And penalties even? [Edit] Actually our PP, penalties not yet fully posted.

[Edit2] Crosschecker also got Roughing, another Fig Thing Roughing. Eernisse for Crosschecking, Schifsky for Roughing.

[Edit3] Funny thing, Statbroadcast stats have usually been more up-to-date than CHN live box, but not this time.

ND SH chance, but missed the net.

No joy. 2-1 after two.

Shots: U-M 12, ND 9, tot 24, 21.

Other game: MN 1, PSU 3, after two.

Other other game: Merrimack 2, BU 1, after two.

ND still leading in faceoffs 27-20, but it was closer in 2nd, 14-13 them.

3rd period under way. Let's Go Blue! Win. The. Game!

I wonder if this will be over before BTCG? May have to stick to hockey audio, put football on TV.

Good news, Warren is back out there.

Schifsky & Eernisse 2v1, Schifsky passed, it went off Fig Thing skate, then got covered. Sigh.

Shoot da puck!

Ohhh, Nazar skates in, but puck doesn't find the net. [Seemed to get through goalie, but went past the wrong side of the post.]

ARGH! Duker misses open net!

D'OH! Truscott for Crosschecking @ 5:06.

Yay, PK!
