1995 NCAA hockey tournament - triple overtime loss to Maine in the semis

 

2018 NCAA hockey tournament - gave up a goal to Notre Dame with just over 5 seconds left in the game to lose 4-3 (after having been up 2-0)

The "Hello" post doesn't…

The "Hello" post doesn't include his 40 tone. What's up with that?

Unfortunately, I think he's…

Unfortunately, I think he's already signed with UCF, but KJ Jefferson from Arkansas would actually be a pretty good quarterback for our system. (Wife is an Arkansas alum, so I've seen a lot of his games). Pretty decent running quarterback who can make good decisions, and would probably be a lot better if he had a good O line in front of him. 

Muppets forever!

Go Blue!

Just our of curiosity, do you guys get media creds for the championship game, or are you going as fans?

Aren't we the highest seed?…

Aren't we the highest seed? Why aren't we in the home locker room?

I'm a little surprised that…

I'm a little surprised that Zoltan Mesko isn't higher up on the list of punting yards per season. I am pretty sure he had more yards in 2008 than our offense, but that's a while ago and I'm too lazy to actually check the stats.

Hope he's doing ok.

 

Or,…

Hope he's doing ok.

 

Or, if he's a newborn, congratulations, and I hope he and his mother are doing ok.

I don't even care that my 3…

I don't even care that my 3 year old is having a screaming meltdown because he doesn't want to go to bed (he got put in his room at the end of the 3rd) and that he's woken the 1 year old. Go Blue, that's all that matters

Would look better if they took off the big ten logo. 

Something amiss at the core…

Something amiss at the core of their culture? Like the team being soft? Lou Holtz, as much as he annoys me, called it correctly. No toughness to this OSU team.

On the last drive of the game, what was the point in calling the Orji run on first down? Just kneel down 3 times and be done with it.

Also, Desmond was tripped.

Also, Desmond was tripped.

Fox didn't show a replay of the injury, but they said his leg was rolled up on. I didn't get the impression from the teams reaction that it was a dirty play, just bad circumstances when large people get tangled up with each other.

That is an amazingly…

That is an amazingly seamless loop on that GIF.

At least there was a little…

At least there was a little more outside running today. Would've lined to see more downfield passing, and would love to see us have a goal line play that's not out of shotgun, but at the end, there was just enough offense to win, and that's all that matters 

"Have more points on the…

"Have more points on the scoreboard than they do when the clock hits zero" is probably the biggest key to beating them.

The refs were not the only…

The refs were not the only cause for defeat, but they were pretty bad. Michigan got called for tripping on 2 different occasions where players got tangled up with each other.

 

Penn State got away with a very blatant trip at center ice that probably prevented a breakaway. PSU also got away with a dangerous contact to the head hit that left a Michigan player (couldn't see who) lying on the ice for a good 30 seconds before the whistle blew. The Michigan player then stumbled twice while getting up, and ended up needing to lean on the trainer and a teammate the whole way to the bench.

The graphic they put up said…

The graphic they put up said "first time in at least 20 years", which tells me the research dept hadn't anticipated needing that stat, and didn't have the exact date easily accessible.

I wonder if there are…

I wonder if there are details we're not privy to, such as "Michigan will drop the lawsuit now, and in return, the Big Ten won't sue or object when Michigan decides to leave the conference"

 

Probably wishful thinking.

I thought that this column…

I thought that this column only counted until the moment the clock hit zero, so although well intentioned, Coach Moore's words don't impact the numbers.

 

(Speaking of numbers, how much did his post game interview cost Fox in FTC fines?)

So, since "the head football…

So, since "the head football coach" is suspended, can Warde announce that Jim Harbaugh is being promoted to some form of assistant athletic director, name Taro Tsujimoto as the J Ira and Nikki Harris head football coach, suspend Tsujimoto, and then announce that Harbaugh will be acting as the interim head coach while Tsujimoto is suspended?

And here I thought I was doing well by checking to see if it was already posted, having a clear title, and a correctly embedded video. The bar for a quality post is set pretty high :)

I know, that'd be a lot more fun to see.

I think the closest a former UM goalie got to that was one of Marty Turco's assists when he was with Dallas. He got out most of the way, but someone else tipped it in.

I used to read and post on one of their hockey message boards. Most of the fans are pretty rational, as far as college sports fans go. Never had any issues with their fans

Technically, the defense scored 12. Special teams got the other 2 :)

Worst coaching error in history? Marty Mornhinweg would like a word. And the wind.

Would that be the Turco stat category?

You know, I dislike MSU as much as everyone else around here, but I don't want to see their players injured. Or further injured because of carelessness on the part of their med staff. 

 

So, even though it's MSU, people should still care.

Most of the kids from Angell…

Most of the kids from Angell elementary go to Tappan for middle school*. Although with the age difference, it's unlikely they would have overlapped. 

(*The exceptions may be the kids from Hikone and the North Campus student housing, who were at Angell, despite it not being the closest school.)

But, it's not inconceivable that the Harbaugh and Schembecler families socialized together.

So, what I'm getting is that…

So, what I'm getting is that Rico Blaisi hires coaches that share the "hothead" tendency that his players typically have. Not terribly surprised.

Is that an example of the …

Is that an example of the "Heisenberg Uncertain Speed" principle?

At some point, you should probably think about using a Youtube downloader tool, and saving those videos, and either hosting them somewhere on this site, or on an mgoblog-owned Youtube channel, just in case the original copies get removed for whatever reason.

Was it a Too Man Men call? I thought at first glance that it looked like it may be offsides, but they didn't show enough of the replay (or slow it down enough) to tell.

In my experience, the Tech…

In my experience, the Tech fans are some of the most dedicated fans anywhere in College Hockey, and very knowledgeable about the game too. If they're not playing UM, I'll always be happy to root for MTU.

Phew!

Phew!

I was just coming to say that we won the Men's Gymnastics B10 regular season title today.
