Back on the PK - got to keep it out of the goal
Boom. Downing'd. And we're back on the PK.
I sure love shorthanded defense. Reminds me of playing shorthanded chess (e.g. two knights down at the start of the game, or a rook, etc.) against friends.
Full strength!!!
Yay, PK! Now stay out of the damn box!
Whoa C YA!
so just joining now...glad we're winning I guess?
We missed you Gordon
I'm glad someone else has noticed that I'm generally 1/3 of all hockey thread posts. Nice to know all the talking to myself is paying off
Gust for cross checking - Back on the PP!!
PDG from Claire
GOAL MICHIGAN!!

Di Giuseppe!!!! 4-2!!!!
Di Giuseppe poppin bottles!!!
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Dammit. OSU goal
Now it's interesting again
Fuck they score 4-3
DAMMIT! They score, 4-3 U-M.
damnitttttttttttt
GRRR!!! Just when I was about to say wow, we're 3 of 4 on the PP.
6 minutes left. Close it out.
Just realized/remembered that this is at Nationwide and not Walmart Supercenter Arena (or whatever it's called).
This arena is a lot nicer for hockey since the crowd is on the ice. Downside of a hockey-basketball arena hybrid
Feeling of Terror engaged
Thiiis close...
nail biting time...
Ohhhh, man, Nieves couldn't get to that one.
on Boo!
Man, that one went off the underside of the cross bad. Literally fractions of an inch from deflecting in
How the hell doesn't that go in?
Hail
Game over!!!
That was closer than I'd like.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
We held on - despite that lingering feeling of impending doom I had. Not a bad weekend I guess. 1-0-1 against the #21 RPI team. Keep it up
H A I L ! ! ! !
Good job guys.
the TV for the last 30 seconds. Put enormous pressure on the screen. Within a foot at times!
HUGE WIN!
GO BLUE BABY!
Michigan gets 3 spots in the RPI, up from 15th to 12th.
Sneaking into the tournament very much in reach. Need to sweep State and hopefully get a split or better with Minnesota
That would be nice. Winning one or two in the BTT would help as well for seeding. Hell, let's just the win the whole thing.
from a good win in a crucial game.
But still NEED MOAR WINS to cement a spot.
because I do believe with the new RPI rules that this win is multipled by 1.2 for a road win (vs x0.8 at home). Am I right on that?
I read somewhere that is how the RPI or the Pairwise works.
HUGE win! Michigan takes the season series vs ohio, 3-0-1.
Michigan is still on an 8 game unbeaten streak in the series (7-0-1).
Excellent play by the team. Downing is marked man by these refs and can't do ANYTHING, which sucks, however.
Sweep FYS, again!
And the predicted snowpocalypse -- at least for Southern Ohio -- was a total bust.
Great weekend. Couldn't be happier.
And a new "True Detective" tonight, to boot. I submit it doesn't get much better.
