Gonna have a heart attack over here.
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:47 PM ^
I had an energy drink earlier plus the immense stress from the game has me completey on edge. I really do feel like I'm going to have a heart attack.
I'll be here in the fetal position if you need me
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:43 PM ^

I do love playoff hockey, even though this one is going to be like...painful to watch because we'll all be in the fetal position...I do like playoff hockey.

Money says this one gets settled fast
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:50 PM ^
Who is the guy doing the play-by-play on this game? It's the same guy who does the CCHA videos on youtube. Who is he? Where'd he come from?
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:53 PM ^
Ben Holden. Been doing college games for 5-6 years at least. Hes from MI. Started out on Comcast Local, went to FSD, called some Ohio local and AHL games until he came back to MI a few months ago
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:54 PM ^
Ben Holden. He's a Michigan-based broadcaster, does most of the FSD stuff. Color guy is Sean Ritchelin, 96 and 98 national champion.
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:55 PM ^
Ben Holden. He's from Holt, Michigan. Currently lives in South Lyon. /creep

all right, who didn't close their bold tag?
this is hard to not die on every cornell possession
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:54 PM ^

Close your tags if you absolutely need to write something in bold please.

That pass through the crease gave me a flashback of UMD. Mirror-image of it
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:56 PM ^
fuck.
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:56 PM ^
Damnit.
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:56 PM ^
Damn.

The hockey gods hate us.
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:57 PM ^
If our guys would have gived a fuck in the first two periods we wouldn't have lost.
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:59 PM ^
Really?
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:57 PM ^
Well Shawn, thanks for playing with us
It's a damn shame his career ends like that
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:57 PM ^
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:57 PM ^
FUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKCCCCCCCC
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:58 PM ^
PP killed us all year.
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:58 PM ^
Well we did win this in regulation but whatever back to football recruiting.
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:59 PM ^
Merrill overcommitted and made that a 2 on 1 and then didn't recover to get the trailer. Worst game of his career by a huge margin.
March 24th, 2012 at 12:20 AM ^
March 24th, 2012 at 12:21 AM ^
Yeah, the forwards did not exactly do their jobs either, but Merrill did nothing to get back in the play after overcommitting and he was shit all night.
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:59 PM ^
March 23rd, 2012 at 11:59 PM ^
Hunwick didn't play a terrible game, but you don't put in a game like that and still make it to the Hobey Hat Trick.
March 24th, 2012 at 12:00 AM ^
March 24th, 2012 at 12:00 AM ^
What a joke. I'm just pissed. We let up-and-comers jump on us all the time. Learn to close and play like a 1 seed
March 24th, 2012 at 12:01 AM ^

There's a reason Brian calls it weighted Plinko. It's not even really weighted. Any single hockey game is so overwhelmingly controlled by random bounces, a bizarrely hot goalie (the Air Force game), officiating gaffes (two years ago vs. Miami, the second goal tonight), people having the worst game of their career (Merill tonight, Sauer vs. ND in '08 when we had the best team), that this shit is just random. So under the current format, even if you assume we're the best team every year, you've got no more than like a 15% shot at the title (if you think every game is 60-40 in our favor it would be 13%). It'd be nice if we were a bit luckier (like last year's title would have been had we scored the OT goal), but there's not a lot you can do.
EDIT: Though the PP has been bad for a few years now, we should get that fixed and that you can put on the staff.
March 24th, 2012 at 12:26 AM ^
I think if we could play 3 or 5 game series, the tournaments would be totally different. Not only is a 1 game playoff random, but I feel like it makes teams play really up tight knowing that any mistake could cost you the game. Teams would play a lot looser in a 3 or 5 game series
March 24th, 2012 at 12:33 AM ^
Absolutely, I think they used to, too. Pretty sure the famous Cornell series that really triggered Yost's insanity was a best of three in Ann Arbor. And there's a week off between the regionals and Frozen Four, so at the very least could make it best of three those consecutive weekends and a single elim Frozen Four. Don't encoach on extra class time or extend the season.
