OSU is @ ND. MSU 2, Ferris St 0 in the 1st. MN St is at MN. PSU 1, ASU 0 in the 1st. WI is @ ND.

I refuse to accept that MN State's mascot is not a Screaming Eagle. They're the Mavericks, apparently. So they like Top Gun more than Coach? Geez.
Anyhoo, thanks for the good work IBMNB.

Go Blue!!

7 hours from me, just a hair too far and too expensive. Pity.
I went to one road game there, 01-02 season. I got good seats between the blue lines. Before the game, a couple guys I knew from USCHO (Ramsay was one of them, lives in North Dakota now) met up with me and we said hey. My seats were between the blue lines, fantastic view, half-empty arena. I thought I had it made until Michigan scored the first goal.
Ramsay and his friend whose name I regretfully forget sat in the end zone behind the goal. Nice enough, cheaper, but not the same view. But then Michigan was on the board, and they were equal to the moment: they did the sieve chant together after the goal. Just those two. They were really loud. Dominated the place.
Skip the blue lines. I went and joined them (plenty of seats available) after the first intermission. Michigan scored four more times, winning in a shutout. I've never done the chant so loud in my life. We owned the place. It was glorious.
Michigan needs two wins here. Go Blue.

Andrew Merrick pointed out refs letting some stuff go. Boka got hit with a shoulder, possible interference, then had the stick knocked out of his hands.
November 2nd, 2018 at 7:52 PM ^
The Soo faithful have been looking forward to this one for a while. Go Blue!!
November 2nd, 2018 at 7:53 PM ^
GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!
Norris! 1-0 U-M!
November 2nd, 2018 at 7:54 PM ^
We want MOAR goals!
November 2nd, 2018 at 7:57 PM ^
D'oh! Interference on Lavigne.
Uh-oh. Andrew not seeing Hughes on the bench.
Phew! Hughes is back. They think it was some equipment issue.
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:01 PM ^
WHOAAAAAAAAAA C YA!
Lockwood hauled down. U-M on the PP (after 8 sec 4-on-4).
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:06 PM ^
CLIP: @joshnorris10 with his fourth of the season to give U-M an early 1-0 lead! #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/LDp7psjucB

FUCK! They score, 1-1. Also Boka in the box.
DOUBLE FUCK!! PPG, 2-1 them.
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:12 PM ^
Crap, back on the PK.
Stay out of the damn box!
Big save, Lavigne!
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:15 PM ^
Yay, PK!
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:21 PM ^
2-1 them after one.
Can't keep taking penalties. Speaking of which, some extracurricular stuff happened with a few seconds left. Them taking liberties with Norris, Norris objecting. Coincidental minors.
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
Shots 6-8 them.
OSU 1, ND 0 after one. Ferris St 0, MSU 3 late in 2nd. MN St 1, MN 0 in the first. ASU 3, PSU 3 in the 2nd.
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:36 PM ^
2nd period under way.
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:37 PM ^
SHIT! They score, 3-1 them. Ugh.
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:39 PM ^
Slashing on Martin. Back on the PK. Inconsistent reffing, per Andrew.
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:41 PM ^
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
PPG, 4-1 them.
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:46 PM ^
What’s up with the team?! Heads not in the game?
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
Didn't start the 2nd period very well for sure. 1st period, inconsistent reffing: no calls to start, then penalties, and U-M got called for more of them. Really need to stay out of the box.
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:46 PM ^
This team doesn’t feel very good. Long season. Hopefully we can pick it up
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:55 PM ^
GOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!
Slaker!! 4-2 them.
November 2nd, 2018 at 8:56 PM ^
We want MOAR goals!!
November 2nd, 2018 at 9:00 PM ^
WHOAAAAAAAAAAA C YA!!
We can haz PPG?
No joy.
November 2nd, 2018 at 9:41 PM ^
Have only been able to watch one game so far this year, but we were real sloppy in the neutral zone and with possession in our own zone that lead to a lot of goals. We really need to figure out how to not give up 4-5 goals a game.
November 2nd, 2018 at 9:47 PM ^
Crosschecking them. U-M PP.
Another penalty, 5-on-3 for 34 sec.
November 2nd, 2018 at 9:49 PM ^
Watching the LSSU website gamecast is brutal. "Start power play for UMICH." Five minutes later... "Faceoff won by UMICH." Five minutes later... what happens next damn you?!?!
November 2nd, 2018 at 9:52 PM ^
U-M penalty. No joy 4-on-3, then 4-on-4 as they get out of the box.
November 2nd, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
Guh. They score, 5-2 them.
November 2nd, 2018 at 10:04 PM ^
Blegh
November 2nd, 2018 at 10:04 PM ^
Blegh
November 2nd, 2018 at 10:05 PM ^
Martin hauled down, no call. Shortly thereafter, Olmstead interfered with, U-M PP.
November 2nd, 2018 at 10:06 PM ^
Man. Not a good start to the season at all. I'm not surprised that there's some trouble getting the offense going; giving up goals all over the place is more surprising.
Ugly way to kick things off. If the team turns things around to compete for a tournament spot these losses will really sting. If the losses don't sting it's because the team is mediocre all year.
Ugh.
November 2nd, 2018 at 10:33 PM ^
David said in his review that St Lawrence wasn't good, so I guess that's why we kept the GA down to 1 for last weekend. Going back to 5 GA: not a good sign.
November 2nd, 2018 at 10:07 PM ^
No joy.
November 2nd, 2018 at 10:13 PM ^
Is it a goalie problem or the whole team?
November 2nd, 2018 at 10:15 PM ^
More team.
November 2nd, 2018 at 10:21 PM ^
Shots U-M 8, LSSU 10 in 1st, 13-11 2nd, 9-9 in 3rd, 30-30 total. But a couple PPGs for them.
OSU beat ND 1-0. Ferris St 3, MSU 5. MN St 4, MN 1 in the 3rd. ASU 5, PSU 6. WI 0, NDak 4 after two.
November 2nd, 2018 at 10:30 PM ^
Why do we suck again?
