Michigan - MSU Hockey Open Thread

I would like to add the following clause to my previous post: "...and your genetic lineage leaves much to be desired."
February 11th, 2012 at 8:40 PM ^
That's one hell of a great pass from Glendening. Gorgeous.
February 11th, 2012 at 8:42 PM ^
WE WANT MOOOOOOOOOORE GOOOOALS! AJ AGAIN!!! Going for the hat trick!!!
February 11th, 2012 at 8:42 PM ^
Jeez, can we stop giving up the odd-man rushes?!?
February 11th, 2012 at 8:51 PM ^
Looks like a completely different team from last weekend, and not in a good way. Terrible PK and it seems as if we're playing most of the time in our own zone.
February 11th, 2012 at 8:52 PM ^
It seems like we expected state to not put up a fight or something this weekend because they 've jumped all over us since we went up 2-0 yesterday. Maybe getting swept will inadvertently light a fire and we'll make a deep tourney run...but let's just win tonight anyway
February 11th, 2012 at 8:54 PM ^
to keep back checking and stop giving up odd man rushes! Need to slow this game down a bit and get some possession here in State's zone.
February 11th, 2012 at 8:55 PM ^
Guptill robbed!
February 11th, 2012 at 8:56 PM ^
Dangit guptill! Blew through the D and then stoned by the MSU goalie on a breakaway. And then the puck was still loose it looked like but the ref blew the whistle. It's been that kind of weekend for us so far.
February 11th, 2012 at 8:57 PM ^
Does anyone know who the color commentator is on FSD? I can't recall hearing him before, and he is annying me.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:07 PM ^
It's Darren Eliot.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:15 PM ^
I liked his claim that anytime there's contact with a goalie, they're going to call a penelty (or something to that effect). Maybe Hyman deserved that call, but Hunny gets run A LOT. It seems like that might have come up during preparation for the game given how much Red has mentioned it in pressers this year.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
Well, FSD doesn't get all the games, so I'm guessing he missed open season on Hunwick.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:24 PM ^
All he had to do was check out the post game press conference from the week before to know that Red was not happy with the way Hunwick has been getting hit.
I just assumed that was part of preparing for the one game you are going to commentate all year.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:25 PM ^
Maybe going by that particular contact (as a former player, and current referee, so my experience isn't nothing, here), but otherwise there's no standard like that, even in USA Hockey. By the way, Hyman deserved it if, if, if, they're going to make the same calls when it goes against MSU. A lot of those calls have to do with a referee's "style" and you just have to look for it to be called consistantly.
Edit: do you mind me asking why your particular username? I've been wondering that since I've seen you post.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:34 PM ^
Consistency is all you can ask for, it just seems like it has been hard to get this year.
My username is because some friends of mine decided that if I was a DJ I would be DJ MastaDon. I do not know where it came from (I have no interests in DJs or prehistoric mammoth type creatures), but it seemed like an adequate username to use for websites.
February 11th, 2012 at 8:57 PM ^
We can haz PPG?
February 11th, 2012 at 8:59 PM ^
Power play unit needs to settle things down and work it around for their shot. Last night especially it seemed like they never got set up.
February 11th, 2012 at 8:59 PM ^
We have a little less than a minute of PP to start the third.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:02 PM ^
Pardon my massive ignorance, but how does CCHA scheduling work? Does each team have a protected rival that it plays four conference games against?
February 11th, 2012 at 9:07 PM ^
I think every team has a home and away series with every team except for some teams like Alaska which we only played once.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:12 PM ^
We played them twice there.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
We also did not play Notre Dame at home this year, and I don't recall traveling to Ferris either.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:09 PM ^
right here it's a must. CANNOT LET SPARTY HANG AROUND! We did that last night and it cost us. Need a PP goal here and one more late in the 3rd to nail the Spartan casket shut! GO BLUE! Hell score 7 I don't care! (my coach talking lol)
February 11th, 2012 at 9:20 PM ^
Thank you kind person!
February 11th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
It only took 3/4 of the season for an mgouser to find a live stream
February 11th, 2012 at 9:14 PM ^
February 11th, 2012 at 9:16 PM ^
3rd period underway.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:17 PM ^
No joy on the PP.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:18 PM ^
Really not all that surprising. On top of their stats (on the TV now), they look like they deserve to be ranked that highly. The MSU PK is very, very good.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:17 PM ^
I meant number of series.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:24 PM ^
Very even play in the 3rd, still a 2-2 tie, 15:15 left.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:29 PM ^
I think we've had slightly better of the play in this period so far but nothing to show for it so far. I can only think of one chance so far. But we do seem to be on the front foot. Hopefully we keep that up.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
Ferris leads Notre Dame 5-1 with 7 to go.
NMU beat BG, 2-0
ohio beat Western, 4-3
February 11th, 2012 at 9:33 PM ^
It was bound to happen eventually. Ohio finally won again
February 11th, 2012 at 9:34 PM ^
How did that puck not get in??
February 11th, 2012 at 9:34 PM ^
We can thank the hockey gods for that, boys. If we can make it to the whistle/attacking zone with nothing bad going on, I love our chances.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:34 PM ^
Even during not Mich-MSU broadcasts they talk about the Spartans so much.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
State with lots of chances in front of Hunwick and can't put it home, still 2-2, 8:40 left in the 3rd.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
Jesus, they've been DOMINATING us the past 4 minutes
February 11th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
Jesus we spent about a minute in their zone and now they've been in ours getting tons of chances for the past 2 or 3 Good lord this game is ridiculous.
Penalty. Crap. Gotta kill it off (obviously)
February 11th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
Shit, Sparty PP.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
Terrible call!
February 11th, 2012 at 9:38 PM ^
Yeah, no, that's a penalty every time.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:38 PM ^
That's a good call, saved a goal, but damn if I'm not concerned about our penalty kill letting one in anyway.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:41 PM ^
Economics. Does an open shot like that provide a better scoring chance than two minutes of 5-4? The answer is almost always yes, so I fully support those penalties (as long as they actually deny a shot with the penalized action).
Staee is very good on special teams, though, so I feel your anxiety.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:43 PM ^
Absolutely. That's a penalty you take every time. And for those who don't think it's a penalty or that it was a bad call, it's obvious you don't watch a lot of hockey.
