Michigan - Michigan State: Open Thread
Early start tonight, Michigan hosts MSU.
Early in the first, a bad turnover by Serville and a soft goal given up by Rutledge makes it 1-0 MSU.

Doesn't seem to be as loud there. I am sure the quality of hockey this season has something to do with that.
February 1st, 2013 at 6:46 PM ^
Not to pile on hockey, but:
1. What are we wearing?
2. I know for some other games section 22 is sparse, but its pretty sad to not see the 'ole barn all filled up for msu.
Go Blue! Lets work to get some home ice in round 1 and go from there!
February 1st, 2013 at 6:48 PM ^
Al just mentioned that they changed the time of the game, most of the people who bought tickets probably didn't get the email.
February 1st, 2013 at 6:47 PM ^
The game is being aired on BTN.
February 1st, 2013 at 6:48 PM ^
will have an ugly looking torso in the morning. That looked like a rib or two for sure.
Edit: Looks like an upper arm from the other angle. Announcers said shoulder but it looked lower than that.
February 1st, 2013 at 7:07 PM ^
It's MSU. Some guys just look like they don't care, there's no energy at all.
February 1st, 2013 at 7:08 PM ^
weak penalty...
February 1st, 2013 at 7:11 PM ^
if you ask me. I get it, especially on the back shoulder like that, but that wasn't a dead to rights boarding call in my opinion.
Also, jeez. This game would be going very differently with someone other than air occupying some of those passing lanes the forecheckers have been taking. Some of it has been bad luck with getting a good stick on a shot, but there needs to be someone there before we make these passes.

Michigan is wearing the Maize Throwback they were supposed to wear for the GLI but didn't. It's alright I guess. I just want hockey to go back to the good ole days of the diagonal Michigan maize. Enough with this throwback shit.
February 1st, 2013 at 7:32 PM ^
Stop with the constant barrage of jerseys already.
The only saving grace is that the maize actually looks like maize, not highlighter yellow.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
Any idea why they're Reebok jerseys?
February 1st, 2013 at 8:52 PM ^
Reebok is owned by Adidas, who doesn't have their own hockey line.
February 1st, 2013 at 11:25 PM ^
You do realize your "good old days" date back to like 2007, right? More like we need the script Michigan jerseys...
February 1st, 2013 at 7:32 PM ^
So, i know we've been struggling, but what's really been the reason behind it? I don't follow hockey close enough, what happened? What has to happen to make the post season?
February 1st, 2013 at 7:42 PM ^
We have to win every regular season game for the rest of the year so we can make the CCHA tournament, then we have to win it.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:03 PM ^
Michigan doesn't have to make the CCHA playoffs, they're automatically in. All 11 teams are. They need to finish 8 or higher if they want any shot at winning the whole thing because the last place you wanna be is on two road trips should you make it out of round 1.
February 1st, 2013 at 7:39 PM ^
Beautiful passing. DeBlois scores it's 1-1.
February 1st, 2013 at 7:46 PM ^
Fairly routine, used his stick to establish position.
February 1st, 2013 at 7:52 PM ^
You can tell why these teams are at the bottom right now. But wow, MSU looks dreadful. We should be up a couple goals
February 1st, 2013 at 7:55 PM ^
Rutledge has talent, right now it's a mental thing. Getting his confidence up is what's best for this program going forward.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:30 PM ^
He needs some brunette therapy
February 1st, 2013 at 8:01 PM ^
didn't "get away with one" as much as they're saying. He definitely doesn't need to be doing anything like following through a dudes face, though.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:05 PM ^
I can't stand BTN hockey coverage. God help me next year when mostly all of the games will be on there.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:09 PM ^
BTN coverage is better than little or no tv coverage, which is what we face most seasons. They suck, but I am just happy we will be able to watch most games next season.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:12 PM ^
MGoBlueTV will carry every home game and road conference game next year I've been told when I emailed the Michigan-IMG Sports network. It's $80 for a one year. You not only get hockey but full access to all sports being broadcast on it.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:17 PM ^
Well i probably won't pay $80 on top of a cable bill. But if they have that then why are you complaining about BTN?
February 1st, 2013 at 9:14 PM ^
I'm complaining now. But I won't be in a year from now.
I just have to figure out to connect my laptop to my HDTV. Anybody have any idea how to do that and what cable(s?) I'll need?
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:02 AM ^
Does the laptop have an HDMI port? If so, you can just use an HDMI cable (on monoprice.com for cheap if you want an extra) and that'd be the easiest way.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:14 PM ^
I'd rather see M hockey in HD anywhere I might happen to be than have nothing other than an open thread or radio stream. The announcers don't really get to me very much, to tell the truth.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:20 PM ^
Me either,. In hockey, announcers only provide analysis during dead pucks. I just tune them out in the play by play b/c I can see for myself what is happening. It's not like fb all where there is a lot of dead air to fill b/w each play and you hear from announcers alot
February 1st, 2013 at 8:01 PM ^
Moffie in the box for shoving a Spartan's face after the whistle.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:20 PM ^
Nieves PPG! 2-1 U-M!!
February 1st, 2013 at 8:21 PM ^
Wish we could play MSU every week. Our record would look a lot better
February 1st, 2013 at 8:21 PM ^
Damn it
February 1st, 2013 at 8:22 PM ^
FUCK! They tie it at 2.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:22 PM ^
You've got to be shitting me
February 1st, 2013 at 8:25 PM ^
Nieves again!!! 3-2 U-M!!!
February 1st, 2013 at 8:25 PM ^
Boo baby
February 1st, 2013 at 8:26 PM ^
We want MOAR GOALS!
February 1st, 2013 at 8:26 PM ^
#LetsGoBoo
February 1st, 2013 at 8:27 PM ^
He does it again. Boo Nieves has his 2nd goal of the night, his 3rd point.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:27 PM ^
Game is getting up and down now. Fun to watch
February 1st, 2013 at 9:10 PM ^
Can you say Boo, or better yet, Go B(l)ue!
WE (skelet)ON.February 1st, 2013 at 8:34 PM ^
Really, MSU has had two good scoring chances all night and they put both of them in. Other than those two plays Michigan has dominated MSU.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:37 PM ^
U-M 36 shots, MSU 20 at last update. 8-6 U-M this period
February 1st, 2013 at 8:36 PM ^
Especially from a distance. Maybe if name plates weren't inverted, I'd like em more...
February 2nd, 2013 at 6:46 AM ^
I thought tonight's unis looked awesome.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:46 PM ^
good to see chelli!
February 1st, 2013 at 8:47 PM ^
