U-M Hockey vs ND (& Other Games) - Saturday Open Thread
Posting a bit early as other BT games are before ours: WI 1 @ PSU 0, after one, and OSU 0 @ MN 0, late mid 1st (on BTN).
Yesterday's point locked up at least 3rd place. Magic number for 2nd is 3. Would be nice to get a win for PWR, too.
Thank you, seniors!
Eric Ciccolini, Nick Granowicz, Jay Keranen, Nolan Moyle (GS) & Keaton Pehrson
Time: 8 PM ET
Watch: BTN actual

Gophers got hit with two five-minute majors. A minor for the Bucknuts so Bucknuts have a 4 on 3 for two minutes followed by three minutes of 5 on 3 which will have the intermission in the middle. Could make us have to earn it tonight. I'd rather back in.
February 25th, 2023 at 6:06 PM ^
Gophers killed the 4 on 3 now 5 on 3
February 25th, 2023 at 6:08 PM ^
Bucknuts up 1-0 after 1. 1:07 of 5 on 3 after intermission.
February 25th, 2023 at 6:24 PM ^
Bucknuts scored a second one with 2 seconds left in the 5 on 3. Now 2-0 OSU
February 25th, 2023 at 6:09 PM ^
Wow. Any GMs? Live Box doesn't say.
February 25th, 2023 at 6:18 PM ^
No GM's - just the five minute majors.
February 25th, 2023 at 6:24 PM ^
Swell, OSU up 2-0.
February 25th, 2023 at 6:29 PM ^
Unreal the refs are against us when we aren't even playing!
OSUs Singleton has hit a Gopher in the head 3 separate times & hasn't gotten a 2 much less a well deserved 5
February 25th, 2023 at 6:32 PM ^
It would be nice if the Gophers would get the next goal soon.
February 25th, 2023 at 6:33 PM ^
PSU scored in 2nd, 1-1 after two.
February 25th, 2023 at 6:34 PM ^
Wow, Gophers scored their 1st goal, then tied it [13 sec later], 2-2!
February 25th, 2023 at 6:35 PM ^
Gophers cut the lead to 2-1 at 8:13 in the second.
M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A Minnesota Minnesota Yay Gophers (just tonight)
February 25th, 2023 at 6:36 PM ^
Game tied 2-2 at 8:26 in second. Gophers scored while I was typing the last post.
February 25th, 2023 at 6:37 PM ^
The net behind Close came off its post so it's not just us.
February 25th, 2023 at 7:34 PM ^
Came off so many times in the first period last night they gave OSU a delay of game penalty. The loose net is the one the Gophers' opponents defend twice a game. I sense gamesmanship.
February 25th, 2023 at 6:51 PM ^
Gophers score with 33 sec left in 2nd, lead 3-2.
February 25th, 2023 at 6:52 PM ^
How's that for a period, eh?
February 25th, 2023 at 6:52 PM ^
Gophers score again at 19:27 of the 2nd. They're now up 3-2. Let's hope it holds.
February 25th, 2023 at 6:53 PM ^
If it doesn't, it'd be the first time this season.
February 25th, 2023 at 7:03 PM ^
Ha. BTN showing highlight that WI scored to go ahead 2-1, then guy says PSU just tied it.
[Edit] Was it waved off? Live Box doesn't say. WI won 2-1?
February 25th, 2023 at 7:03 PM ^
Looks like Luke’s back tonight
maybe
February 25th, 2023 at 7:09 PM ^
February 25th, 2023 at 7:19 PM ^
Aside from Michigan the Red Wings also play tonight at 8pm (Lightning @ Red Wings). They've won 9 of their last 12 if I'm counting right.
I'm sure the two games' game play and commercial rotation will match :(
But anyhoo, RWs just behind Buffalo for 2nd Wild Card spot. Both have 64 points but the Red Wings trail Buffalo in ROW (Regulation plus Overtime Wins) by 3 (29-26).
LFG!!!
February 25th, 2023 at 7:42 PM ^
I will be flipping back and forth like crazy.
Go Blue Go Wings
February 25th, 2023 at 7:24 PM ^
Badgers beat PSU 2-1.
February 25th, 2023 at 7:26 PM ^
Wow. Does that give staee home ice against PSU next weekend!?! Lmao
February 25th, 2023 at 7:33 PM ^
Yeah, looks like it. [Edit] If they play each other.
February 25th, 2023 at 7:41 PM ^
If we win (in regulation, overtime or shootout), then we host Bucky, Brutus hosts the leprechaun and FYS hosts PSU
If we lose in overtime or shootout, then we host Bucky, Brutus hosts PSU and the leprechaun hosts FYS
If we lose in regulation, then we host Bucky, the leprechaun hosts PSU and Brutus hosts FYS
Any chance FYS is rooting for us so they can host a series next weekend? I think they would prefer a trip to Columbus.
February 25th, 2023 at 7:26 PM ^
Gophers score, 4-2. 5:17 left.
February 25th, 2023 at 7:27 PM ^

Beep, beep, beep.
Michigan has already backed into second place, thanks to Minnesota.
February 25th, 2023 at 7:30 PM ^
Another Gopher goal, 5-2, 2:39 left.
February 25th, 2023 at 7:34 PM ^
Fuck Ohio. Gophers win streak when leading after two continues.

February 25th, 2023 at 7:45 PM ^
so....with my keen insight reading your chart it i'd say we're pretty certain to be play the badgers. just a hunch, but there you have it.
February 25th, 2023 at 7:51 PM ^
Bigger issue is the following week, we want to avoid OSU.
February 25th, 2023 at 8:10 PM ^
Soooooo, throw the game to put ND in the 3 slot?
February 25th, 2023 at 7:47 PM ^
Pregame: Coach Naur says Luke Hughes is back & healthy.
February 25th, 2023 at 7:51 PM ^
We're locked into second place and a 2 seed against Wisconsin.
So we are playing for pride, seniors and Pairwise
February 25th, 2023 at 8:00 PM ^

February 25th, 2023 at 8:16 PM ^
