B1G Hockey Championship Game
The pregame show is on, the beer is cold, its Saturday night now lets win this fucking thing and get back in the big tournament.
whats on the line: Michigan NEEDS to win to make it into the NCAA Tournament. Minnesota will make the tournament with a win and have a strong chance of advancing even with a loss (it is NOT a given as there is one scenario where they could be left out).
this game will come down to goaltending. Racine needs to keep up his good play at the Joe but Michigan will need to keep the pressure on Wilcox (who looked like the Wilcox of old last night with the shutout against Ohio State) and fight for the rebounds in the crease.
I'm not going to bring up the running theme of these threads thursday and friday because we all get it and expected it.
WIN THE GAME!!!
THANK YOU... BTN2GO and FIOS was being glitchy as fuck for me...
Yeah I was confused when they said that. I was like "Our..Mike Downing?"
Yeah, I'm not sure Downing could leave and step into the AHL right now
No... no frigin ot
It is traditional for our season to end in OT...
Dammit, on the PK again.
Barring a Tiny Jesus vs. North Dakota-like effort from Racine, we will lose this game if we can't generate some shots
But I'd bet 9 times out of 10 when you let yourself get outshot 2:1 you're losing by 2+ goals.

another penalty kill!
Yay, PK!
Wow, Hyman had a great chance there!
SO CLOSE!!!!
Nearly made it 1-0. JUUUUUST missed! Man that would've been huge. A gut punch for Minnesota. Dang it
0-0, Minnesota controlled that period
Puck slipped off his stick. If it hadn't, he had a little room to put it in.
Gonna take something like that from Hyman and a Hunwick-level goalie performance to win this.

— mgoblog (@mgoblog) March 22, 2015Hyman just missed it!
This game isn't going to end well at this rate. Racine probably isn't saving 60 shots tonight
I have a gut feeling we'll find a way to win this game.
Good job Racine. We look tired and good Minnesota showed up.
Great effort by Hyman to finish the period. Blew by that defenseman.

But if you need wild bird seed, Kaytee THE offical wild bird seed of the B1G
USCHO has a nice pairwise predictor (that's much more fun if Michigan has a good season). Barring an epic collapse by BU Minnesota is in the tournament no matter what (BU is up 4-1 in the 3rd).
Come on hockey gods, let us have this one. You owe us for having every goal review go against Michigan.
Tell them it's totally cool if they throw this game
It's great that we got here, but I'm wondering if some of the serious speed advantage Minnesota is wielding is the fact that we're on our 3rd game in 3 days. Our guys have got to be tired and they're having to kill penalties against the #1 unit in the nation.
Just feels unsustainable
