U-M Hockey vs WI - Friday Open Thread
WI's goalie was most unsievelike, stopping 17 shots in the 1st period and holding U-M off the scoreboard until the 2nd period, where we got 2. Blankenburg's goal was especially nice as 4-on-4 he skated in uncovered to the front of the net, got the goalie to go down for a potential redirect, but instead he moved the puck to the side and put a backhand in the open net. Ports got the shutout.

Samoskevich on Beniers' line, Morgan on Lambert's, Granowicz on Van Wyhe's. Keranen the extra skater, Edwards & Pehrson are 3rd D pair.
October 29th, 2021 at 7:28 PM ^
That Duke-Lambert-Morgan may be the 3rd line but if the game is similar to last night they will get a lot of action as an "enforcer" line
October 29th, 2021 at 6:41 PM ^
Super excited for this squad. Getting Mel Pearson back was monumental for this program. Go Blue! Get the out the brooms for a series sweep.

I recommend an ad blocker but otherwise it's a great site
October 29th, 2021 at 9:37 PM ^
lol downvoted for recommending a stream that worked FAR better than the twitch stream? ok
I tried the Twitch stream & it kept freezing on me but the onhockey one never paused or glitched one time for me using EDGE w/an ad blocker

FUCK! They score, 1-0 them.
October 29th, 2021 at 7:39 PM ^
Hughes beat by that speed then I think the forward got lucky...I don't think that was his plan
October 29th, 2021 at 7:48 PM ^
Holy shit I assumed that was in after the great pass & fantastic turn!
Great save by Portillo

BTN+ watchers: Is the volume really low on the broadcast, or is it just my setup?
October 29th, 2021 at 8:22 PM ^
Volume is fine but the camera operator seems to be whipping the camera around.
October 29th, 2021 at 9:37 PM ^
Volume was low. But now as low as the referees' ability to call a fair game.
October 29th, 2021 at 8:00 PM ^
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA C YA! Interference on them [@ 17:52].

Yay, PK!
October 29th, 2021 at 8:26 PM ^
No penalty on their goalie?!
October 29th, 2021 at 8:30 PM ^
Mel is pissed at the refs right now.
October 29th, 2021 at 8:33 PM ^
Blanks get hurt? Haven't seen him out there.
October 29th, 2021 at 8:34 PM ^
Beniers dumped in front of the net, no call?! FUCK YOU, REFS!
October 29th, 2021 at 8:41 PM ^
Man we look like shit tonight.
October 29th, 2021 at 8:41 PM ^
Super frustrated by this trapping bullshit.
October 29th, 2021 at 8:41 PM ^
SHIT! They score, 2-0 them. DZTOs.

That was an atrocious period capped by a terrible play by Bordeleau. Need Blanks back on the ice.
October 29th, 2021 at 8:57 PM ^
3rd period under way. Let's Go Blue! Get a gritty goal.
October 29th, 2021 at 8:58 PM ^
Tripping?!? Nope. FUCK YOU, REFS!!
October 29th, 2021 at 9:01 PM ^
There were about five more obvious calls in this game than that. Weak hook but finally get a call.
October 29th, 2021 at 9:01 PM ^
What, you saw that one, ref?
October 29th, 2021 at 9:04 PM ^
That's a ridiculous shot.
October 29th, 2021 at 9:04 PM ^
GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Johnson PPG! 2-1 them.
October 29th, 2021 at 9:04 PM ^
Oh Kent Johnson, wow
October 29th, 2021 at 9:05 PM ^
Crosscheck to the face? Nahhh.
October 29th, 2021 at 9:06 PM ^
Fucking ref looking right at it. Guy should not be allowed to ref, he is clearly blind
October 29th, 2021 at 9:36 PM ^
The guy looking right at it is a linesman, they don’t call penalties. Reviews aren’t allowed to create 2 minute penalties, only 5 minute majors. They deemed a cross check to the head of a player on the ice wasn’t worthy of a 5 apparently.
Not seeing the cross-check live is at least understandable in defense of the refs. I think botching the review (and the half dozen other blatant calls) is a much worse offense.
October 29th, 2021 at 9:42 PM ^
Linesmen can step in and call majors.
October 30th, 2021 at 8:11 AM ^
“Can,” but virtually never do. It has to be blatantly a major penalty for them to step in and do so. And even then it’s highly unlikely you see a linesman try to step in and overrule a referee.
And as we saw from the video review, there was apparently not enough for that to be a major penalty. The consequences of a linesman overstepping a referee to call a major, and then that major being overturned in video review (as it apparently would have been) are pretty significant. Linesmen are pretty much content with letting referees do their job.
October 29th, 2021 at 9:06 PM ^
That should be a major and a game misconduct.
October 29th, 2021 at 9:06 PM ^
Mel wants a review.
October 29th, 2021 at 9:07 PM ^
That's ridiculous.
October 29th, 2021 at 9:08 PM ^
ARE. YOU. FUCKING. KIDDING. ME?!?!?!
October 29th, 2021 at 9:09 PM ^
When did O’Neil start reffing hockey? Total incompetence.
October 29th, 2021 at 9:09 PM ^
GODDAMMIT! They score, 3-1 them. FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!
October 29th, 2021 at 9:15 PM ^
Boom!!!
We WILL win this game
