Oh how I hate Ohio State! Beat the Buckeyes!
Stay out of the damn box!
Time: 7:30 EST
Watch: BTN (wait, what? actual TV???)
Listen: MGoBlue audio
Let's Go Blue!
Same format as NHL playoffs. 20 minute periods until we have a winner.
Let’s GO!
I hope we get the next one.
Was complete shit by both teams. Uncontrolled erratic scuttling by both teams. I’m hoping we take a deep breath and pull it together for overtime
GO BLUE!! GO BLUE!! GO BLUE!! GO BLUE!! GO BLUE!!
GO BLUE!! GO BLUE!! GO BLUE!! GO BLUE!! GO BLUE!!
GO BLUE!! GO BLUE!! GO BLUE!! GO BLUE!! GO BLUE!!

what's the OT rule - 5v5 sudden death for 20? then a SO?
No shootout. Score a goal, win the game.
No shootouts. OTs until there's a winner. Hockey the way it's meant to be.
Is this better than just a loss, regardless of result?
Pairwise will consider this a win or a loss, depending on how it ends.
Just fuckin win the game.
Can’t take that sweep from OSU.
just said sudden death till a goal. could be in for a long night folks
"Intent to blow the whistle" incoming.
a big one. Hope it's us. Been a pretty good game for us, considering the prior 4 against these guys.

The one-game nature of this is exciting, and it's paying off. In terms of event status and fan experience this is already waaaay better than previous B1G tournaments. Very impressive that OSU was able to fill most of the lower bowl, looks great on tv.
The NCAA tournament should be like this.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:00 PM ^
Win it in ot.
Go Blue.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:04 PM ^
but have to put their sticks down first on the draw wherever the puck is dropped. Bit of an equalizer
March 10th, 2018 at 10:05 PM ^
OT! Let's fucking GO!
#WinTheGame!!
March 10th, 2018 at 10:07 PM ^
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??!!
March 10th, 2018 at 10:07 PM ^
Good night.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:08 PM ^
God damn it
March 10th, 2018 at 10:08 PM ^
Hopefully we don’t see OSU in the NCAA. Clearly we can’t handle them this year.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:08 PM ^
Unreal that this team couldn’t handle OSU in 5 tries this season. Really the only disappointment is this turn-around year.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:09 PM ^
just F. Really got caught sleeping there. On to a high seed in the tournament
March 10th, 2018 at 10:11 PM ^
fucking sleeping in our defensive zone. When everyone should have been fresh and on their toes. What a fucking shame.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:09 PM ^
Of course. Smh
March 10th, 2018 at 10:09 PM ^
Bad thankfully did not need it.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:09 PM ^
It's my fault. I turn on the game and those shitbirds score.
Fuckin Ohio State.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:09 PM ^
Welp.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:10 PM ^
in the first GD minute of overtime? All three defenders in the zone looked like they were fucking gliding. Fucking dammit.
That was way too easy for the first minute of overtime. Fuck.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:10 PM ^
Dammit. First major 5 on 5 defensive breakdown of the game. :(
March 10th, 2018 at 10:11 PM ^
What else can you say. We just can’t beat those guys this season.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:12 PM ^
They're just better this year. It is what it is. Better circle them for next year because theyre a bigger threat than MSU clearly.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:17 PM ^
So is my local peewee team.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:15 PM ^
Unobstructed view, was able to get squared to the shot. Weak fucking goal.
Sigh.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:17 PM ^
Cannot stand that they are good at hockey. Fucking hillbillies.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:22 PM ^
makes me want to yak.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:38 PM ^
They’re good at literally everything, even women’s hockey now. Not a school that accepts mediocrity.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:48 PM ^
off. You mediocre little bitch.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:55 PM ^
I don't know, maybe their men's gymnastics team isn't great?
But seriously, it's win big or get fired there. In everything.
March 10th, 2018 at 11:24 PM ^
Their field hockey, cross country both men and women, men's soccer, women's lacrosse and volleyball are all crap. Both their men and women's swim programs while not crap are never going to beat Michigan.
We're top to bottom as an athletic department better than them right now. It's just Football laying turds on the field against them year after year clouding perceptions.
March 11th, 2018 at 12:03 AM ^
your final conclusion seems dubious, especially weighted against most reasonable people's care index, but it's good to know some of their sports lag the others.
March 10th, 2018 at 11:06 PM ^
He's not wrong. Just finished second in the big ten in basketball and hockey, won the big ten in football and wrestling. They always beat our ass at Lacrosse too. It's getting old.
March 10th, 2018 at 11:34 PM ^
Just because you don't watch them doesn't change the fact that by in large we're beating them more than they're beating us in all sports.
March 10th, 2018 at 11:46 PM ^
I want to see us beat them regularly in sports I and the majority of people care about. Period.
March 10th, 2018 at 11:56 PM ^
was meant to be taken with the suggestion that their recent superiority in a limited few sports is somehow a result of their "refusing to accept mediocrity." Or by implication, that our teams have accepted mediocrity. It's a lazy narrative that ignores the complexity of why the two schools' football teams have experienced profoundly different results for the past 10 seasons.
March 11th, 2018 at 12:09 AM ^
It's been way longer than 10 years. Try 17, since the day Tressel was hired it's been different and we haven't had an answer.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:29 PM ^
Sounds bad... score?
March 10th, 2018 at 10:34 PM ^
Lol yep. Bad in OT = game over.
March 10th, 2018 at 10:37 PM ^
3-2 them.
