U-M Hockey vs MN - Tuesday Open Thread
OK, let's forget what happened last game and move on to midweek MACti- er, hockey, shall we?
Team USA has taken 4/5ths of our forward Bs (Beecher, Beniers, Bordeleau & Brisson) plus Cam York for the World Juniors camp. Also 3 Dmen from MN. Here's an opportunity for freshmen Philippe LaPointe & Josh Groll to get some PT.
Time: 8 PM ET (moved up from 8:30)
Watch: BTN (no, really)
Listen: MGoBlue Audio
Let's Go Blue! Where's that license to kill gophers?

I'm really scared for this series, especially how many guys we're missing due to Team USA. A split would be good, even 2 OT losses would be fine to get some points in the B1G standings. Just hoping for a competitive series and dreaming for a sweep. Go Blue! Still think we have the best team in the B1G, this is just a tough series for the circumstances we are in.

Game on!
December 8th, 2020 at 8:09 PM ^
ARGH! Post!
December 8th, 2020 at 8:11 PM ^
FUCK! They score, 1-0 them.
December 8th, 2020 at 8:12 PM ^
Goalie interference!
December 8th, 2020 at 8:13 PM ^
No goal!
But we gotta backcheck better.
December 8th, 2020 at 8:34 PM ^
0-0 after one.
December 8th, 2020 at 8:35 PM ^
So sloppy.
December 8th, 2020 at 8:36 PM ^
Shots: U-M 11, MN 8.
December 8th, 2020 at 8:37 PM ^
Thought that was a good period. Both teams really well coached. I wish Kent Johnson had 20 more lbs and could skate
December 8th, 2020 at 8:47 PM ^
2nd period under way.
December 8th, 2020 at 8:48 PM ^
Jeez, maybe cover the guy in the slot?
December 8th, 2020 at 8:54 PM ^
Does BTN?Fox not stream these games?
December 8th, 2020 at 8:55 PM ^
It’s on BTN, you can access it on the Fox Sports app
December 8th, 2020 at 8:55 PM ^
D'OH! LaPointe to the box. Slashing?
December 8th, 2020 at 9:01 PM ^
1-0 Minnesota, striking quick on a too many men on the ice penalty immediately after killing a slashing penalty.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:15 PM ^
SHIT! They score, 2-0 them.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:15 PM ^
Dang. Ugly Parents.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:15 PM ^
Minn 2 - 0.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:19 PM ^
really missing our finishers, not many grade A chances
December 8th, 2020 at 9:19 PM ^
Ugh, 2-0 them after two.
Stay out of the damn box!
December 8th, 2020 at 9:22 PM ^
Gophers are playing elite offense. Best team in nation ? Looks like it to me.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:25 PM ^
I know it doesn't need to be said, but it's always worth saying...I love Red.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:28 PM ^

Let's Go Blue! Get the next goal, plz.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:39 PM ^
Eh fuck it. We are an all star juniors team.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:40 PM ^
ARGH! They score, 3-0 them.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:41 PM ^
GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Johnson! 3-1 them.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:42 PM ^
Bleh... Gophers are good at hockey.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:43 PM ^
Damn that was a thing of beauty by Johnson
December 8th, 2020 at 9:43 PM ^
Still not sure if we’re good or not
December 8th, 2020 at 9:47 PM ^
It's really kind of interesting. They do so many amazing things, but then they do some really, really dumb shit. But the question for me is the in-between. I thought PSU game one was the answer, where they ground out a good result.
At times, it doesn't look like there's much of a system, but maybe that's just because we expect magic going forward and then just play man defense.
December 8th, 2020 at 10:38 PM ^
Well we’re missing 5 of our best 7 skaters. So if you were looking for a game to decide if we’re good or not, this isn’t it
December 8th, 2020 at 9:43 PM ^
Johnson with the prettiest goal of the night.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:43 PM ^
That backhand snipe was filthy!
December 8th, 2020 at 9:45 PM ^
Slashing on them @ 4:16.
Then Too Many Men on us again [@ 5:50]. FML.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:46 PM ^
that was a garbage call
December 8th, 2020 at 9:49 PM ^
I think Mel specifically characterized it a "bullshit call."
December 8th, 2020 at 9:54 PM ^
I saw him saw both “bullshit” and “horseshit.” Generally, it was just shit.
December 8th, 2020 at 9:48 PM ^
Yay, PK!
Kent Johnson solo effort and it's a beauty! pic.twitter.com/fExpKgkB7b

Can we pretty please stop whiffing on pass attempts?
December 8th, 2020 at 9:53 PM ^
D'OH! Ciccolini in the box for Slashing [@ 11:05].
December 8th, 2020 at 9:53 PM ^
