Let's Go Blue! Win the Gongshow!

So, I want us to win obviously but a small part of me would sort of love it if BGSU took the gongshow and went the NCAAs.
Where the hell is Red's sweater? It's the conference tournament, and he's abandoned The Unit. Freaking out.
BG on PP. Randall incredulous. C'mon PK!
Well that's a bummer.
Frack, 1-0 them.
goal bgsu
Bad early goal
I just turned the game on, all excited and what not.
Then BG scored.
Well..........crap.
Well if both teams can come back and win I'll be happy.
Bad goal to give up
Wow, that was unlucky. I suppose there isn't much Hunwick can do there.
Wow the Joe looks empty right now...that's what the Gongshow gets for scheduling us late
Or the fact that Michigan Hockey's already small fanbase has a lot of overlap with people who are going to watch an NCAA tournament basketball game over going to the CCHA semifinals.
That's what I meant, with an 8:00 start it killed any 50/50's from going, since March Madness>Conference Tourney
Wouldn't have been much better early. Would you have gone?
Burn the Boats guys. Burn the god damn boats.
yes
I live in Chicago and I can't see this game, but I can watch both WCHA games. Thanks CCHA
It's not like you're in a CCHA market, so...
I'm definitely not in the WCHA market, since game one is BC and game two is BU
We really haven't had many good chances yet. It's been a relatively uneventful first period. Big PP for us, though.
Oh man, Treias just killed a guy.
1-0 BGSU after 1.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Hunwick huge early in the period. Michigan has missed a couple good chances. Of course everyone we play is hot tonight. And as I type this BGSU scores. Worst day of 2012.
That's what happens when you misplay the puck behind the net.
I am in mgoanxiety mode
Getting some great deflections right at the goalie. Come on
For how much we're getting hacked and held, it's about time something got called.
Michigan just kinda sitting around on the PP. Lots of passes around the outside. They just don't seem to have much fire right now.
Word on the street is it's extremely hot in the Joe tonight. It looks it, pucks taking weird bounces all over the place.
?
2-1, BG. Mid 3rd.
Merrill scored at the end of the 2nd.
Bowling Green looks way better than the 11-seed. An extremely effective game out of these guys tonight, and it's frustrating as hell.
Is this on TV? specifically Comcast?
Channel 901 on Comcast in Ann Arbor.
707
This game is so frustrating. Michigan just can not get the puck on the net and when they do it always seems like the puck flutters just in front of an open net and nobody can get a stick on it.
3:22 left, BG still up.
Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba!
YESYESYESYESYESYES
Wohlberg!!!! Tie score!!!!
Wohlberg!!!! 2-2!!!
Gooooooooooooooooooal!
Woooooooo
Something good happened tonight
2 all tie!!!!
Fucking right doggie!
C'mon guys!!! We all need something positive from tonight
I turned this game on expecting to rage. 20 seconds later....GOAL!
C'mon boys. Lets pull this one out!
...
Let's put this one away and ease the pain of the Nashville knockout.
Headed to OT...
OVERTIME! Need. This. Win.
If we can carry the energy from the last 3 minutes of the game into OT, which is pretty much how we should have been playing all night, good things can happen.
OT here we come
Need to win this. A hot rink + OT = tired team tomorrow if we have to play at 3:30 especially.
Telecast just said they're going to show some CCHA bloopers, didn't know they were going to show the Goalie award
If anyone's looking for the gameon DirecTV and are not in the Detroit area, it's also on Fox Sports Indiana alternate (Ch 661-1). I'm getting it in Dayton OH and figure people in IN, and maybe the Chi-town area would get that channel as well.
Hunwick is Tiny Hasek.
In other news, Minnesota down 3 late to NoDak. So much for them getting a #1...
The game was on 900 but now there's some show about 2 figure skaters. What the hell?
NM
Its on 901
BG just hit a post. Whew.
Good lord that was a close shot...not often the Iron is our buddy
Not to mention hitting Pateryn in the chest as he came back towards the net. Somehow he turned and cleared it.
And then the Iron says haha screw you guys
Win or lose, this has been one of the most exciting OT periods I've ever seen.
Goalies and the posts are making great saves.
that the Bowling Green fans think every little nudge is a penalty...
pretty much if we win tonight no matter what, we get a #1 seed right?
We just got hosed, no way that was an icing.
This is a cracking OT period. BG is not going away. How'd these guys finish last?
does anyone know if this is on dishnetwork?
this puck is waaaaaay too active
7th period of the day being played on an unseasonably warm spring day will do that.
Ice looks lousy there, and it's even bad in St. Paul where the temps are also quite high. I was shocked by how live the puck was in the UMD-Denver game.
We're being too careful with shot selection. Just put it on net, score, play tomorrow.
What a period for both teams. Great goaltending, great chances, just gutsy hockey all around.
Onto 2nd OT.
Double OT!!
Western has got to be loving this
is playing out of his friggin mind. Karma's gotta end for him soon.
a hot goalie is very tough t beat.
Right now, I'm praying to the hockey gods.
Commercial on Fox Sports Indiana between periods is for Columbus Crew. Apparently their motto for this year is "Dare to be Massive". Didn't know Mr Plow played soccer.
Finally was able to get this site to load again. We've been about a half inch from winning this game five times now. Just keep pushing and one of them will bounce the right way.
Finally!!!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF? I'll take it!
GOAL
I get back on to post and we win the game, negating the need for me to post. I'll take it! Bring on the Broncos!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moffit, from Treais. C U tomorrow.
MOFFATTTTTTTT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no matter what tomorrow, we have our #1 seed. Woo friggin hoo.
I haven't run all the possibilities, but I think this more or less clinches the #2 overall seed. Looks like BC, us, Union if they win their conference (woo Dutchmen!), and WCHA champ (either UND or Denver). Good for us if that happens. Eastern teams stay east, WCHA champ goes to St. Paul, we go to Duluth.

More important than seeding for a couple places.

If Harvard wins tomorrow, I think that knocks State out of the tournament, otherwise they're the last team in.
I'm uncertain (haven't run all of the scenarios), but I think State is only for out if Harvard wins AND Western beats us tomorrow. Otherwise I see them in a tie with Western, and I think they get the tiebreaker thanks to higher RPI.

Eat the last CCHA banner being maize and blue, gongshow mofos.
This is not the last CCHA tournament. Next season is the last for the CCHA.
classic game. glad we got the win... GO BLUE! second straight ot game winner at the Joe.
Lucky me, I misjudged how long the intermission would last, switched the channel and left the room for a minute, came back, and the game was over. No DVR, no rewind. Bah.
So glad we pulled this one out.
Saturday, please?
7:35 PM ET on FSD.
Amazingly, North Dakota now occupies the fourth #1 seed slot that has been a revolving door of Western teams. Union has taken the revolving Eastern spot (What's the best seed to have? Answer: The #2 seed in whatever region Union is in). We are suddenly locked in. It will be tough to turn around and beat Western, but overall the chances of making Green Bay are still decent. Not sure what opponents we're looking at yet.
Thank god.
I am exhausted from the game. I can hardly imaging what the team feels. BGSU's goalie Hammond was freaking amazing tonight. He was standing on his head all night. Stick taps go out to BGSU. They left everything on the ice tonight. When I am not rooting for Michigan, I will always pull for BGSU.
Thank God for this and spring practice starting tomorrow. This helps get the basketball dissapointment out of my head. Go Blue!!
Michigan can win this. I want this so badly. Let's pack JLA and drown all of the western fans out tomorrow.
I've been waiting to replace my 2010 Playoff Champions hat. Wanna get it tomorrow.
Beat western.
GO BLUE!
anyone have a copy of this classic game to post?
We did what we had to do. Phenomenal goaltending, some timely goals, and a great scramble at the end. Fun time in JLA, will (of course) be back tomorrow.
Let's pack the Joe, and raise another banner!
