Let's Go Blue! Pluck the Hawks!
I feel like Michigan was challenged to do the dirty work of the playoffs after the first goal and they traded fancy for gritty. They just need to get that to pay off in the second and third.
Need to get gritty like a sandstorm.
Why did Pherson leave anyway? Unless he was given a firm handshake or wasn't going to be getting enough minutes, seems like a Judas kind of move.
Im too old to be up this late. Already yawning over here
Was texting a friend early in game that our trailing third man back always seems to do the wrong thing. And then a few plays later, again, and they score. The third man back goes after the corner guy leaving the player open for goal. It could be 4-0 right now.
2nd period under way. Let's Go Blue!
ARGH! Stick fail.
First couple of shifts mucho mejor
GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!
Nazar! 1-1.
GOAALLLL!
Thanks Nodak
No doubt that was going in!!!
LETS GO! 1-1
Great start to the 2nd. Possessed the puck for nearly the whole period to that point
Here we GOALLLLL!!!
LFG. Great start to the period
There it is!
1-1
much better play + throwing pucks to net = success!!!
Frank "Major Lazer" Nazar, ladies and gentlemen.
That feels better! 1-1 Let’s fucking go!
Keep firing shots and good things will happen.

Totally
Chippy little fuckers these NoDick players are
March 29th, 2024 at 10:01 PM ^
Was that just the Beatles "All my loving" on the organ?
March 29th, 2024 at 10:01 PM ^
The Nodak goal scorer looked to be 35 years old! How old are these fucks?
March 29th, 2024 at 10:03 PM ^
As old as the hills.
March 29th, 2024 at 10:03 PM ^
Love seeing Barzo come out and get big.
March 29th, 2024 at 10:03 PM ^
Much more intensity right now.
March 29th, 2024 at 10:05 PM ^
North Dakota getting away with some pretty late checks. Like the puck is gone and they're just leveling guys
March 29th, 2024 at 10:07 PM ^
SHIT! They score, 2-1 them.
March 29th, 2024 at 10:07 PM ^
Bah. Stupid deflection. Might be checking for a high stick?
Edit: looks alright. Good play by them
March 29th, 2024 at 10:07 PM ^
Damn
March 29th, 2024 at 10:08 PM ^
We came out hot to get a goal in the second but then kinda fell asleep until they got one back?
March 29th, 2024 at 10:08 PM ^
Don’t need cute passes just shoot it that goal proves it!
March 29th, 2024 at 10:09 PM ^
Keep grinding, boys!
March 29th, 2024 at 10:11 PM ^
Shake it off. And let's go.
March 29th, 2024 at 10:12 PM ^
Playoff hawkey... no whistles
March 29th, 2024 at 10:14 PM ^
Still a pretty even game
March 29th, 2024 at 10:15 PM ^
Refs aren't calling shit except for icing against Michigan and offsides occasionally.
March 29th, 2024 at 10:17 PM ^
Phew. Nice save Barzo. Lucky drop pass got a guy wide open down the slot
March 29th, 2024 at 10:17 PM ^
Narcos on the organ... pretty great actually.
March 29th, 2024 at 10:19 PM ^
Damn, puck took weird bounce in front of their net, but we couldn't get to it.
March 29th, 2024 at 10:19 PM ^
Goalie wasn't in net. Most unfortunate.
March 29th, 2024 at 10:20 PM ^
Nodak goon taking swings from behind after the whistle
