Let's Go Blue! Licensed to kill gophers?
And stay out of the damn box!
FUCK! They score. 2-1 U-M
Review for offsides, but it's a good goal.
Why isn't this shit on real TV?
Not a new or original thought but the B1G really blew it with hockey tv rights.
FSD+ is a real TV channel.
Not if you're out of region.
D'oh! Nick Pastujov in the box.
Warren got a SH chance, made their goalie make a save with backhand shot. He skated across the crease, losing the puck, but got it back.
Yay, PK!
Finish the job
2-1 U-M after two.
Mann playing well.
Finish it Blue.
To: I Bleed Maize —— thanks for doing these all year long. I work all the home games but usually come home and use this thread as way to see all the goals scored and to see what the few posters thought throughout the game. You’re doing yeoman’s work and get a heartfelt “Go Blue” from this infrequent poster.
Shots U-M 10, MN 5. Tot 21, 11.
FYS 0, ND 0 late in 2nd; [edit] now end of 2nd. WI 0, PSU 0 in 1st.
[Edit] WI 1, PSU 0, still in 1st.
What is everyone's opinion on the new tourney format. I like the higher seed getting home ice, but I can't for the life of me figure out why the first round would be best of 3 instead of the finals.
It's OK, I guess. It's too bad it isn't all best of three, but one series is all they could fit in? I wonder if the season could start earlier or not.
It’s a weird college hockey tradition that the conference tournaments are single games for the semis and finals. For most (all?) other conferences it’s held over one weekend.
As for the Big Ten, supposedly OSU and Wisconsin didn’t want to have to have their home arenas reserved for three games for three weekends in March. So they only want to do one game after the first round.
I think it’s worth an extra open weekend during the regular season to compress the last two rounds to one weekend and do it neutral site. As a fan, I am more likely to travel for three games in a weekend rather than one per weekend.
What the fuck is happening with these broadcasters on the stream. I can’t tell if they think they’re still on or not.
Stream shows while they're still waiting for commercials and whatnot to end. Pretty entertaining stuff.
I’ve hit the mute button
3rd period under way.
Let's Go Blue! Win. The. Game!
And stay out of the damn box!
Dammit, U-M to the box.
[Edit] Boka for boarding at 2:43.
Yay, PK!
SHIT! They score. 2-2. 10:54 left.
Shit is right
rats
Damn, Hughes shot left a rebound in the slot, but we couldn't get to it.
Jeez, tons of shots from MN this period. They just passed U-M in total shots, 24-23.
Save, Mann! 2v1.
Helluva save there by Mann to keep it tied
6:20 to go. 2-2.
Handpass on U-M. Mel calls TO and gives it to the refs.
4:20, 2-2.
2:46, still 2-2.
Come on blue!!!
FYS 0, ND 1, in the 3rd. WI 2, PSU 1 in the 2nd.
C'mon, Hughes! Got pocket picked in our zone, Mann ends up covering. DZFO.
1:23, icing on us.
1:13. MN TO. 2-2.
2-2. OT.
Hope Hughes is OK. He missed a shift at the end of the period.
Shots U-M 7, MN 14. Tot 28, 25.
FYS 0, ND 1, late in 3rd. WI 3, PSU 1, in 2nd.
WCHA playoffs -- NMU, with an empty net, ties the game against Alaska Fairbanks with 14 seconds left in regulation. 4-4 going to OT.
I can't remember them getting outshot so bad in a period in awhile. Probably hasn't been that long but it feels like it.
OT under way.
Let's Go Blue! Win. The. Game!
Hughes not on the bench or ice?!
Hughes on the bench.
Shit. U-M to the box. Luce for hooking.
Shit. Minny goes on a PP
Bullshit OT penalty. A bit of home cooking methinks
Gopher delayed penalty. Mann to the bench.
Seemed like the announcer didn't know the rules.
U-M burned some time. Pitlick for interference.
Boka skated in to right of net, shot it. Morgan got to rebound, missed the net.
