GOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!! Glendening!! 1-0 us!!!
We're going on the PP. C'mon!!!!!
Powerplay for Michigan.
HUGE opportunity...have to take advantage
ARGH! Post!
Bennett just pinged the post. Notre Dame knocks their own net off.
Nice to see Sparty Spartying it up tonight
Intentional dislodging of goal?
and the gongshow continues
posts and dislodged nets keeping Michigan from winning this
Another post!!
damn
Y u no go in net?
"It's your home! Are you too good for your home??"
the puck's home is notre dame's net.
/fears angry OT hockey gods
Sounds like Michigan is dominating OT, but nothing to show for it.
OT hockey never features justice, so we're doomed here.
I'll feel that way if no one scores in this period. Then the parallel would be there: Dominate 1st OT, lose in 2nd OT
Apparently M can't win unless all the defenseman hit a post. 3 of 6 have in OT.
6 of 6! EXTRA GOAL IS LIT
Arrrgh. Lost my audio.
taking years off my life every spring
Sounds up and down now. Michigan establishes some pressure, then ND counterattacks.
Sounds more like Michigan with some sustained pressure and then ND with a terrifying break where I keep hearing "Tynan...Lee...Rust" over and over again. I swear they're only playing one line
Agreed.
/collapse
ND is playing one line. I've been hearing "TJ Tynan" every 10-15 seconds since the 2nd period
You jest, but I didn't hear a single ND player who wasn't on either the Tynan-Lee-Rust line or the Sheehan-Costello-Maday line. Would be nice if they started to wear down a bit. (Or Johns and Calabrese, the defensemen).
Onto 2OT. Sounds like we had the stronger period, not that it ended up mattering.
I'm going to have a heart attack
The next one we shoot off the post better go in.
/shakes fist at world
(since it's better for my health to) but we've had some soul-crushing OT loses the last 2 years. OT to ND in the 08 frozen four, 2OT to Miami in the 2010 regional final (refs...) and then OT to UMD in the title game last year. It's amazing I still have the will to hope we'll win the whole thing sometimes
OT loss in the 2003 frozen four (or maybe 2002...one of the two), 3OT loss in the 1995 frozen four (at the time, longest OT game in NCAA history)...
Each of those 3 times I've felt like we either had the momentum or talent to win it all (obviously for '11) so that sucks..but then again, BC and NoDak could probably say the same thing. One-and-done hockey playoffs is insane. It's just too random for me
Senior year...what might end up being my only chance to witness one of my teams winning a championship live...I am still depressed and bitter over that game
the lesson...I am not allowed to attend important Michigan hockey games :-/
Its been voted on the liveblog that everyone must dance again if we make it to the 2OT intermission...spread the word
I just want it to end. I'm so tense right now
...WHY ARE WE MISSING THE NET BY AN INCH 50 TIMES IN A ROW
AHHHHHHHHH WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BALLGAME.
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS.
Yesss!!!!!! Finally!!!!!
but it sounds like we are killing it.
Edit - WE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELL YES CHRIS BROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLL
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLL
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLL
MICHIGAN WINS
PLINKO!
Go Blue.
I am very excited. All blood engorged and tingly.
