20 weeks 5 days ago Great Game, Great Win, but Clare as MVP?

I was at the game tonight.  Great game, great win, but whoever decides MVP needs new medication.

How can Clare be the MVP over Palmisano?  Dislike FYS as much as the next guy, but only reason State was in championship game and note blown out was Palmisano.  He made over 40 saves each night.

Although Clare had the game winner, its not like he stood out otherwise over the weekend.

 
24 weeks 2 days ago I looked at it again

it is only slightly better.  We currently play Nashville/Columbus 6 times per year (feels more like 12) and Minn 4 times per year.  Under the new system we will play Nashville/Columbus and Minn 5 1/2 times per year (6 one year, 5 the next). 

The advantage now is getting to see each of the east coast teams (Toronto, Montreal, Boston and the Rangers, in particular) at the Joe once per year.

anything that reduces the number of Columbus, Minnesota and Nashville tickets I have to try and peddle each year is a good thing.

Would prefer to be out east, but this is better than the current situation.

1 year 1 week ago top 3

1) Seeing Michigan's last second win vs ND in 2009 with son (age 7).

2) Stopping at truck stop in Ohio for bathroom break and having kids remind me, 'Dad don't buy anything we only poop and pee in Ohio."

3) Upon finding out that their teacher went to Michigan State, deciding on their own to end every single page of their assignment books (the book the teacher checks every morning to see that we checked their homework) with "Go Blue" written in Blue and Yellow highlighter.

 
1 year 9 weeks ago One way it may not be a complete fiasco

He could potentially improve MSUs recruiting. From other sources (o.k hockey message boards), he coached for Honeybaked.  If that is true, then he probably has strong connections to the Honeybaked coaches and maybe the other AAA coaches in the area (possibly even Midwest). 

OK, I kept a straight face as long as possible.  This has fiasco written all over it.

They were just ridiculous.  I remember thinking almost everytime they got a penalty, "oh good, here comes a shorthand goal."

Maybe upgrading to Johnny Walker green later in the night.
1 year 26 weeks ago Bloody Beer/25th anniversary/crooked tree

Gonna start with a bottle of either Short's Bloody Beer or Bell's 25th Anniversary Ale and then I will open the tap on some Crooked Tree.
1 year 33 weeks ago Sort of. I saw it on DVR delay and knew the result.

But, watching the game, my thought was that this game could have been Illinois all over again.

Turn over at the 1 and then the other team drives the length of the field and scores.  The difference is our offense this year was able to respond and the defense was able to keep fighting.  The defense wasn't pretty.  It was sort of like the portion of the Rocky movies where Rocky is getting clubbed but refuses to stay down. (Note: unlike Rocky II - IV, the defense never knocked IU out, more like Rocky I, just hung on until the bitter end and refused to be knocked out).  Last year, in the Illinois game, it seemed like the wheels came off on both offense and defense after the stop on the 1.
