They just don't get it. We're down two goals and they're still trying to make the SC Top 10 play. How many two-on-ones have they passed on today?

Michigan athletics man. Yikes.
December 28th, 2013 at 6:29 PM ^
Fuck. Shit. Son of bitch.

What a dud. Now it is 3-0.

At least we can still get tickets to Zac Brown and Cher

Swtiching to basketball. C' Ya

At least this is the last day of Michigan sports this year

This was the worst possible outcome. Now we're winless in the last four, off for two weeks and heading to Madison against a hot Wisconsin team.

You can't count the exhibition loss to the US NTDP as a loss. We were ahead comfortably until Red started experimenting. Let's hope we were just flat for the GLI and when we get back to B1G play things will improve. Granted a lot of the wins were one goal wins which could have gone the other way.

There's no more playing around. We're going into the most important part of our schedule on a sour note.
In our next six games we get Wisconsin four times and Michigan State twice. If we don't figure it out that will ruin our season.

Michigan State has put some terrible teams on the ice the last three years and Michigan almost always comes out flat against them. There's a big problem when your players can't get up for this kind of a game.
December 28th, 2013 at 6:45 PM ^
Yeah, I can't understand how we can't bring it against our instate rival. Is Copp the only guy with fire in his belly? (Other than the goalies, who played pretty well.)

I don't follow the recruiting in hockey, but even in football and basketball, how many of the players are from this state and can really grasp the idea of :in-state rival"???
That seems more for fans than players. I'm guessing for the majority of players, it's just another game.

That 3rd goal was the softest one we've let up this year though. That one was tough to see
December 29th, 2013 at 9:57 PM ^
Yeah, well he was about the only one ready to go at the beginning of the game, and made a lot of saves which should have given us a chance. Of course, we got shut out, so it wasn't like 2-1 became 3-1. Is there really much difference between 2-0 and 3-0 at that point, when we played like crap the whole game?
December 29th, 2013 at 6:21 PM ^
A team perpetually loaded with talent often comes out looking like they could not care less about the outcome of the game. Alex Guptill goes back and forth between excellent and completely not giving a sh*t it seems.

3-0 them.

The team completely lacked energy against an awful MSU team. So much talent on offense barely even managed a significant scoring chance through most of the game. That's the kind of Michigan team that's been sprouting up off and on the last few years: enormous talent but they play games every once in a while (or entire seasons. See 2012) where they just skate around like no one feels like giving a crap.
Is Andrew Copp really the single motivator on this team? The only guy that can get this team to care? If no one feels like trying, maybe everyone else should just leave early to go to their respective AHL and ECHL teams.
I grow tired of watching these enormously talented Michigan teams play down to teams comprised entirely of guys who would be 3rd and 4th liners for us.
