U-M Hockey vs Western - Mason Cup Open Thread
Let's Go Blue! Beat Western, win the Gongshow! Hopefully the guys got a good rest after going to 2OT to beat BG. Fortunately, the second OT was very short.
7:35 PM ET on FSD (or FCSA elsewhere, per justingoblue)
I'm very excited for this game and hope that the boys come out and take care of business.
Let's head into the tourney with as much momentum as possible!!!
we have zetterbergs suite wide open. any takers? text 2. 4. 8. 5. 1. 5. 5. 0. 3. 8
That was still a lot of hockey they played. Western is good, we'll see what happens.
Too bad the best Goalie in the CCHA isn't playing, now that would be exciting.
/bitter
Does anyone know a location of a stream for those of us living outside of FSD territory?
Please tell me there is some way to watch online
&&^%$#@! ^^$#!!
I cannot FREAKING believe that I can't watch this game.
Stupid CCHA.
Help me hockey team..you are my only hope
looking forward to watching Michigan win some hardware
Hopefully they can pull it off tonight. Beer, great weather, girlfriend and championship hockey. Couldn't ask for a whole lot more.
Justingoblue is very smooth with such a post above.
That would be well played, but I'm fairly sure she only does when I bug her about it. I will proceed to show her this exchange, though, so maybe it will be worth something.
My wife never gives me points. Michigan BSN, so she I'd tough.
Is tough!
GO BLUE BABY!!! Bring the Mason home!!!
are annoying me already... Go Blue! Kick Westerns Ass
Till some Bronco going up ice with his head down gets clocked here soon.
Killed!
Passes guys! Man that looked sloppy!
Burn the goddam boats, Fergodsakes.
Knew that was going to happen after that sequence lets go guys get it back FUCK YOU WMU DICKS
The JLA DJ is notoriously bad, but sounds like the fact it's St. Patrick's Day is going to make it even worse.
Pretty weak turnout, too.
We look tire or a little hesitant out there? Im seeing some things that have me a little worried. Missed shot opportunities, bad passes, turnovers. Could we be a little fatigued after last night? It shouldn't be that bad.
Sort of the same story as last night. They're not aggressively going after chances. Going for the extra pass. Holding the puck a hair too long. It's the difference between getting shut out and putting up 3 or 4.
hockey is ridiculously exhausting, and they went past eleven last night (and damn near eighty minutes of play), only to be back at JLA sometime around three today.
There's a reason every coach on an episode of NHL36 is concerned with minutes played in the first game; imagine being a defenseman with forty minutes played last night. That's probably giving and receiving more than two-dozen hits, more shots taken than that, not to mention the emotional investment involved. It's not easy to bounce back immediately.
energy out there if they're tired? I'm not gonna lie I'm worried
we can beat them on depth. WMU wasn't sitting in a day spa yesterday, either; as they have to go deeper into their bench we should gain an advantage.
Still, the adrenaline is there and there's no question a Berenson team wants to win a championship.
I've heard meth is a great option.
I got about 30 seconds, which included the Western goal but that was it. Anyone have an update?
Western early in the second.
Half the time ccha refs just make shit up...
on phone. deveon smith just committed! per Sarah hughes on twitter.
These WMU students are garbage.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, 2-0 them, PPG.
Keep us all updated please
We just look tired
Shit damn fart
Fah-q western. Wtf is going on?!
No joy on the PP for us.
Edit: just over 5.5 min left in 2nd.
They've got a hot goalie, a defensive scheme that is frustratingly good at blocking lanes and protecting their zone, we look tired and hesitant... Just not looking like our night so far.
3-0 WMU. Not good
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
3-0 now, 2 min left.
Fuck everything
WAY ON ALL 3 GOALS THIS IS BULL SHIT
1:01, hooking them, we're on PP.
End of 2nd, 3-0 them, 59s left on our PP.
Michigan is dead tired out there the passing isn't even at 80% right now they're struggling to get the puck up the ice we look flat out gassed. I'm hoping for a miracle but I don't think it's going to happen. Red's boys are beat.
Wha? Guptill in the box. 4-on-4 to start the 3rd.
This will light a fire under them for the NCAA playoffs.
Hockey is such a psychological/momentum driven game, a good old fashion ass kicking can provide a productive reminder of what it takes to win it all.
