GO BLUE!

Thanks. That all matches up with what I'd gathered. Now can you come explain my homework to me in the same fashion?
February 4th, 2011 at 9:13 PM ^
If you have questions relating to anatomy, general chemistry, or non-calc physics, sure.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
Argh, so programming featherweight java typecheckers isn't your specialty? Shoot. You'll be the first person I ask if I have any questions on molarity later though.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:34 PM ^
Hey, molarity can be pretty tricky. The last test we took, the class average was 59%. Our prof likes to curve the average to C to C+ so we're potentially looking at a 15-20 point curve.
Edit: I got an 83 on the last test...just wanted to make that clear.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:39 PM ^
Nicely done. It's been four years since I touched that stuff. I was never considering chemical engineering, but Chem 103 and Materials Science would have convinced me not to if I was. I could do the math but I still can't comprehend how any of that stuff actually works.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:26 PM ^
if you have questions about specific facets of the game, go ahead and ask. myself or someone else can likely explain your questions.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:33 PM ^
Thanks.
I understand what's going on in terms of penalties and objectives. I'm just at a level where unless someone is scoring or doing something blatantly awesome I don't really know whether they're playing well or not. Unless the puck is on one side of the ice for an extended period of time I can't tell a good team from a bad team.
I guess it's similar to my knowledge about all other sports in that respect.

is to watch defensive rotations (who defends against who) and the amount of space and control they allow their assignment. that and how well the pass is placed are the first parts to focus on. hits, placing the puck, knowing where the open man is - that you'll pick up. to be honest, your best bet is to watch an NHL game you couldn't care less about and just try to figure out who's playing well
February 4th, 2011 at 9:32 PM ^
one of the more complicated calls to figure out for an observer:
Icing occurs when a player is on the defensive side of the center line and shoots the puck past the offensive goal line, without it being touched in the meantime. (if it runs into the goalie in the net, it is also not icing)
The "penalty" for this, is a face-off in the defensive zone AND the team that just iced the puck may not complete a change (which isn't always a huge factor, but if it's been a long shift for them already, then that part of it can be pretty important).
Icing will be waved off (theoretically) if:
The opposing goalie leaves the crease to play the puck OR
an offensive player can get to the puck before it crosses the goal line (or at least the linesman rules he can) OR
A defensive player gets to the offensive face-off dot before an offensive player does OR
the defensive team is short-handed
Hopefully that clears things up a little for you. I'd try to explain stick penalties, but it if you're interested in those, it would probably be easiest to just read the rule book, not that it's going to help so much, because every ref has a different opinion of those anyways...

Miami called for tripping.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:09 PM ^
First Bad Boys, now Stayin' Alive. This DJ is officially brain dead.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:10 PM ^
Got to get a better shot off on a breakaway. Not good Louie, not good.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:12 PM ^
is crap tonight.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:12 PM ^
Michigan PP...never mind. Treais with a dumb trip in the offensive zone. 4 on 4 for 1:36.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:20 PM ^
Great story about Louie, Hagelin, and Rust. Good move by them to stay for their senior season, and they're all very impressive men.
They've definitely left their mark, and I think they have a shot to bring in that national championship this year!
ps. did anyone watching that story see the "Michigan Hockey Historian" they interviewed? Some lady named Mickey?
February 4th, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
Michigan played really well. Miami had 4 power plays in the period (to our 1) and only scored on 1. Considering we are on the road and they are the #3 PP in the country, thats not bad. There were tons of penaltys in that period, and I doubt there will be many in the third, which favors us, as Miami has been completely outplayed in this game during 5 on 5. As someone else mentioned, the third is their worst period as well. If we can get the next goal, this game is ours.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
Ive ever seen a hockey team take this many penalties in a season before. Were getting like 5 a game and they come at the worst possible times, like right after the other team scores, or when we are on the powerplay.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:28 PM ^
I thought our stupid penalties would stop since Llewellyn was kicked off, but it doesn't seem like they've slowed down at all. Not fun..
February 4th, 2011 at 9:29 PM ^
where I can watch the game. From what I can tell, M is sloppy on the D. Too many penalties. Go Blue.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:37 PM ^
Great play by Pateryn, diving to save that breakaway without tripping him. Well done
February 4th, 2011 at 9:46 PM ^
Oh boy, another great defensive struggle.
Edit: Okay I'm done. I will move to a shack in Montana and write a manifesto against civilization now.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:46 PM ^
Bullshit call!
February 4th, 2011 at 9:47 PM ^
WHat the hell did that referee see? I watched the dvr replay 3 times!??!
February 4th, 2011 at 9:47 PM ^
How much time is left, my gametracker is shit tonight?
February 4th, 2011 at 9:48 PM ^
Just under 9 min
February 4th, 2011 at 9:49 PM ^
Thanks!
Man would this be a nice win. Really takes the pressure off for tomorrow night.
Gotta hold on!
February 4th, 2011 at 9:48 PM ^
ffffuuu
February 4th, 2011 at 9:48 PM ^
SHITFUCKSONOFBITCH!!!!
February 4th, 2011 at 9:49 PM ^
Shit.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:49 PM ^
i swear to god I want to kill Sergott for that cheap ass call on scooter
February 4th, 2011 at 9:49 PM ^
8min left
February 4th, 2011 at 9:50 PM ^
So I take it from the last 5 comments that things are going well.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:50 PM ^
They're doing "more goals"????
February 4th, 2011 at 10:17 PM ^
Not just that. They stole EVERY cheer. Sieve sieve sieve, more goals, how much time is left, you name it. Not sure about C-Ya.
Sure, our cheers were originally stolen, but we made them different and better, and we added more. They completely took ours word-for-word. I bet their dumb ohioan students think they made them up, too. Shitting fuck on a stick.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:50 PM ^
when you give them 6 powerplay chances eventually they are going to score.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:52 PM ^
the four Michigan killed were all legitimate penalties, the two Miami converted on were pretty poor calls.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:51 PM ^
RE-goddammed-DICULOUS! Of course that trash call would lead to a goal.
Also, copy more cheers, Redhawks. Seriously. copy more cheers.
Idiots
February 4th, 2011 at 9:51 PM ^
Awful reffing. That's the second PP goal they scored off of shitty calls. six min left, tied at 2
February 4th, 2011 at 9:53 PM ^
We were around hick country somewhere, in the middle of the Worst State Ever...
February 4th, 2011 at 9:55 PM ^
5:22 left.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:57 PM ^
talking about third periods again. 2-3 Miami. 4ish left in the third.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:57 PM ^
3-2 Miami. Yet another defensive breakdown.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:57 PM ^
4:09 left.
We got the puck out, had it in the offensive zone for a short time, but they came back and scored.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:58 PM ^
Jesus tap dancing christ on a cracker.... QUIT STEALING OUR FUCKING CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 4th, 2011 at 9:59 PM ^
WHAT THE FUCK HOW THE FUCK IS THAT A FUCKING PENALTY
February 4th, 2011 at 10:01 PM ^
Yeah, just a great penalty to take...
February 4th, 2011 at 10:00 PM ^
should have been thrown out of this game and the next for that hit.
February 4th, 2011 at 10:20 PM ^
Response to all the comments in this general area/time:
That was a dumb penalty by Wohlberg. But even the homer commentators said "wait a minute... that looked like a dive!"
They should have both gone off for roughing or obstruction, but that was a total and complete oscar performance by that red _awk muncher
