U-M Hockey vs MSU - Saturday Duel in the D Open Thread

Fuck they score

Feck

Saw that from a mile away, they’ve been getting quality chances. Barczewski under pretty heavy fire as of late.

So many turnovers, what are we doing?

Getting shots off now at least 

Ah, one of those games. 3-1 them. We have missed a ridiculous number of chances.

God damn these turnovers

Fuck Fuck Fuck

Our defense is just leaving the goalie out to dry.

It's games like these that makes splitting a couple weekends ago suck so much more.  MSU just seems like one of those teams that is pretty good but have elite goaltending so if you don't take advantage of their mistakes (in this game all the rebounds) you just waste winnable contests.

You're on the boards, sure they're bearing down on you. But you absolutely cannot make a blind pass behind you to the middle of the ice. 3rd grade hockey...

Bullshit

MSU starts the 3rd on a power play. 

I’m sorry, but whenever we retaliate after another team does something after the whistle (which McGroarty did) we always get the matching minor. But they won’t call it here

Undisciplined, loose hockey is hard to watch

Just super tired of this bullshit. Goals being scored because the other team makes a dumb pass... And it works because we can't get a stick on a pick when it's coming straight through us

The hockey team feels as soft as OSU's football team, and the fact they're still doing such dumb shit in their own end makes me completely lose faith in the coaching staff. I reckon we should let it roll another year to let him show he can turn it around but right now it is painfully in obvious our head coachbis an offensive coordinator and not a head coach. We're not just bleeding the season series south to MSU for the first time in recent memory, we're helping ensure theybwin a regular B1G title before us, all because we just can't be bothered to give a fuck in our own end.

I am confused. During that intermission we got an MSU hype video and their band played their fight song but Michigan got nothing

Ed: I suppose we did get a Michigan generic ad at the beginning, I forgot.

Nightingale is a really good coach & recruiter. I didn't think he'd turn them into #1 in year 2.

I didn't know shit about hockey details but... That's not a penalty?

I just flipped it on in the 3rd. Been watching for about 15+ minutes and we haven't had a shot on goal, an odd man rush, sustained pressure... Nothing. Seems unlike Michigan hockey teams of the past

Sparty’s night, unfortunately.

ed: unless?

That was a sweet pass and finish. It’s a game again.

Wow!

Fun time sitting next to Gavin Brindley’s aunt and uncle at LCA.
