Michigan vs. Notre Dame - Friday Night Hockey

Submitted by MHNet on

Shameless self promotion...

I'm live at Yost providing coverage of this weekend's games against Notre Dame.  Game tonight is only available on BigTenNetwork.com ($$$).  If you can't watch or listen to the games, or can and wanna join anyway, stop on by.  Tonight's game is a Maize Out.  Hopefully they can end their poor Friday night performances.

Anyone having trouble accessing? I keep getting an error and have tried in multiple browsers.

Know it hasn't started just yet, but you used to be able to tune in and hear a little bit of the pregame discussion.

It is up, though the quality seems markedly worse than usual (breaking up rather than just sounding like a radio feed - sounds like they've got some kind of a filter on so that you can't easily hear the crowd noise, etc. Lame.).

Notre Dame started the period strong, outshooting U-M 9-1 at one point, but Michigan finished strong and had a lot of good chances to close the stanza.  Louie hit the post, Hagelin just missed Louie on a two-on-one. shots are 19-18 ND, and it's time to DANCE!

The game was boring as hell, both teams were very sloppy...but ND outworked Michigan all over the ice....very disappointing. Our big players (cough, louie, lynch, wohlberg, rust, brown cough) have to start impacting games

That last goal summed up our night on the blue line. Stupid, sloppy play (Moffie goes for an unnecessary hit at the blue line and ignores the puck) leads to golden opportunity for Notre Dame on the other end of the ice.

of coaching.  Jeff Jackson led Lake Superior to a couple national titles in the early '90's, then left for, the CHL?  I'm not sure, but he left college all together.  Notre Dame lured him back with a lot of money and the promise to build a new rink.

Rico Blasi is a Miami grad who was an assistant under George Gwozdecky (who now coaches Denver, which is generally a very strong hockey school).  When Gwoz left Miami for Denver, I believe Rico followed, still as an assistant, then when Miami's next coach didn't turn out so good, Rico was hired by Miami (after our very own Mel Pearson turned the job down).

Also, they've both (especially Miami) been recruiting players a year or two out of high school, from junior leagues.  So what they lose in talent, by not being good enough to draw the most talented recruits, they gain back in size and experience from having another year or two of practicing and coaching.  Obviously it took very little time for Notre Dame, with it's name and a recognized coach, to start getting a ton of talent.  Miami just kept on winning and developing and I believe it's next year's class that they're REALLY excited about.

Good info.

Although I'd like a Big Ten hockey league when PSU gets going, I'd miss having ND and Miami to compete against in the league. Maybe the Big Ten could allow a few of the other teams to play in a "Big Ten" hockey league, since NW, Nebraska-Lincoln, Iowa, Purdue, Indiana and Illinois don't have teams.
