U-M Hockey @ WMU - Saturday Open Thread
Welp. That happened. Hurts to have a bad home loss like that just after getting ranked #1. But also maybe good to get it out of the way early? Can't always skate through everbody with the puck and make pretty passes, sometimes you have to find a gritty way to win.

Yeesh looked like a missed boarding/checking from behind call on WMU in the corner too
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:20 PM ^
Sounds like they reviewed 2 hits, so it might've been the boarding call and the one at the end (which IMO didn't look as bad) where Power had a bit of head contact. No penalties awarded.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:21 PM ^
Odd decision by Pasta. Had room to skate or pass and just iced it
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:21 PM ^
Dammit, Pastujov ices the puck, Mel calls TO.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:24 PM ^
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAA C YA!!!! Tripping on them @ 13:14.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:24 PM ^
Tripping on western. Time to stick another in the net and NOT ruin our own powerplay with a penalty for a change
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:27 PM ^
Ugh, no joy.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:28 PM ^
Ugly powerplay. Really nothing going for us there
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:33 PM ^
Coincidental minors @ 18:17: Crosschecking on them, Unsportsmanlike on Bordeleau.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:35 PM ^
How are you just sending Blankenburg off? For what??
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:39 PM ^
Yeah I don't get how you don't take at least one of the WMU skaters who had him in a headlock lol
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:40 PM ^
My exact thought too. So you’re gonna give Blankenburg a ticky tack penalty but not even it up with the guy who had him in a headlock? Home cookin
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:45 PM ^
WMU got away with a headlock on Van Wyhe last game, too. FUCK YOU, REFS!
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:36 PM ^
More to the box, Blankenburg gets extra, [Unsportsmanlike Conduct] @ 19:08.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:37 PM ^
2-2. BS ppg goal with :06 in the 2nd
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:37 PM ^
SHIT!! They score PPG, 2-2. 5.8sec left. FFS.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:38 PM ^
2-2 after two. That fucking sucks.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:38 PM ^
Shitty goal to give up with seconds left in the period
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:41 PM ^
Shots: U-M 10, WMU 13, tot 18, 25.
Other games: WI 0, SCSU 2, in the 2nd. MSU 0, UMass-Lowell 3, early 3rd. MN 0, MN-Duluth 2, late 1st.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:56 PM ^
Western still outplaying us frankly. Will be lucky to escape with a split tonight
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:02 PM ^
Fuck off. How is that on us?
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:03 PM ^
D'OH! Summers to the box @ 4:40. No, they send Blankenburg.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:06 PM ^
Yay, PK! Portillo made a couple saves w/o his stick.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:07 PM ^
This is hairy. Western is definitely the aggressor right now. Gonna be tough to get out of here w a win
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:11 PM ^
Finally getting some sustained pressure and now some 4x4 again
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:11 PM ^
Phew, coincidental minors, Interference on Summers, [Holding on them] @ 9:23.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:16 PM ^
2-2, 8:06 left in 3rd.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:18 PM ^
Portillo keeps it 2-2, 6:29 left.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:18 PM ^
This could go either way. Im gonna bet on soul crushing WMU goal with less than a minute to go
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:20 PM ^
Icing again on us. Ugh. 5:40 left, 2-2.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:22 PM ^
Shit, we had a chance, but our guy stumbled.
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA C YA!!!! Goalie interference on them @ 14:59.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:22 PM ^
What a sequence there. We shouldve got it in then a fall resulted in a 2 on 1 ish the other way and now a penalty on western for goaltender interference
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:23 PM ^
We can haz PPG?
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:25 PM ^
No joy, 3:01 left.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:25 PM ^
Another messy pp. Can barely get in the zone
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:25 PM ^
From the radio call it sounds like Hughes has had a very freshman game.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:26 PM ^
DAMMIT, they score, 3-2 them. 1:42 left.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:27 PM ^
Dammit. This series is a mess. Terrible pp and now western scores. 3-2 and 1:42 to go
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:29 PM ^
In person, the puck looked like it was initially going over the net and got deflected downward. Was right in front of me but I couldn't see what or who deflected it.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:29 PM ^
Woo! No goal, high stick. 2-2 again.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:29 PM ^
Hoooooooooooooo. That was fortunate. High stick no goal
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:31 PM ^
Portillo covers, 35.7 sec left.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:32 PM ^
2-2, end of regulation.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:32 PM ^
Got pushed around for the most part both games. Bad series for us but i guess we’ll find out if we can escape with an OT win
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:33 PM ^
Shots: U-M 8, WMU 11, tot 26, 36.
Other games: WI 1, SCSU 4, final. MSU 0, UMass-Lowell 4, final. MN 0, MN-Duluth 2, after two.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:35 PM ^
Lots of middle fingers in the student section tonight. Nice to see the creativity is really going in the lawson lunatics
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:36 PM ^
