U-M Hockey @ WI Fri Open Thread
Final series of the regular season. I think it's a must-win game, due to the tight race. U-M has been playing better on Fridays, too, so why not get the 3 pts? We're tied for 3rd with ND, 2 pts behind MN, which is done at 36 pts.
Time: 9PM ET
Watch: BTN

Let's Go Blue! Shred the cheeseheads!
And stay out of the damn box!

MSU 1, OSU 3 after two. PSU 2, ND 0 early in 2nd.
Must win, for what?
They aren't going anywhere this year.
Get home ice for BTT.
It's not over till it's over.
I mean it doesn't feel like this team can win the Big10 playoff and yet only OSU has a better chance. Someone has to win it, why not us?
Lines for tonight as we are less than an hour from puck drop in Madison.

2 seed would be great.
MSU 1, OSU 5, final. PSU 4, ND 2, end of 2nd.
ASU 1, MN 1, end of 1st.
Game on!
FUCK! They score, 1-0 them.
And right after the forecheck almost caused their goalie to turn the puck over.
oof bad start
Mann should probably have that
How did ASU get good so fast? I guess they followed the PSU model?
GOAL

D'oh. Winborg to the box.

Ha! Blankenburg checked the checker.
Damn
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAA C YA!
Damn, crappy pass at the blue line leads to WI chance.
No joy, and WI had some SH chances, FFS.
Real sloppy game by both teams so far
I wonder if the ice is crappy. Multiple players falling down.
ARGH! So much open net, and hit the post.
1-1 after one.
Shots U-M 12, WI 10.
Wow, ND has tied it at 4 with 2 goals in the 3rd. OT. [Edit] Shit, ND won, 5-4. PPG, as PSU had contact to the head at 19:07.
ASU 1, MN 2, after two.
Damn Penn State....
Is that some fucking luck of the Irish, or what?
Shit, do we get free takedowns with no call?
FUCK!! They score, 2-1 them.
GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLL!!
Slaker!! 2-2!!
SLAKER TIES IT BACK UP!!!
And we're on the PP.
Such a nice juicy rebound to put home, quick response to their goal.
We want MOAR goals!!

GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!

LOCKWOOD GOES PP!!!

Fuck you, cheeseheads, Mann got knocked down behind the net just before that hit.

Looking like one of those 6-5 5-4 type games
Ok, I’ll break this open. 3-2 us. 13:00 left in 2nd.
Cheap call
SHIT! Another penalty on us, 5 on 3 for them. WTF, are you kidding me?!

SHIT! They score PPG, 3-3.
A gift courtesy of the referees
Mann can't come that far out of net when Wisky had such a shit angle
