They're playing better than they were earlier and are a very young team. Program seems to have righted itself after Red's retirement. Hope they keep it up!

 

[biggunsbob]

For this .500 so so team.

Tonight's game is tied 3-3 with 6 minutes left. Another chippy game with tons of missed calls and holds and grabs. I guess these teams dont like each other. Didnt realize we had over 10 freshmen playing.
Mich is great on Friday and bad on Saturdays. Cant remember the records they showed but it was a stark difference.
Something like 6-2-1 on Friday and 1-7-1 on Saturday. Or close to those numbers.

6:19. 4x4 for 2minutes and then Michigan gets a pp off a 5 min major. The third major of the night. One on Michigan and two on osu.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dang wasted a 2:40ish pp and couldn't score. Game is going to overtime. Osu is carrying first part of it. Wolverines appear to be stuck in quicksand right now. Just need one good pass and shot boys!

 

[biggunsbob]

Going to second ot now. Osu gets 1 point and the regular season title, and the bye. These ****ing refs are bullshit.

 

[biggunsbob]

Lost in 2nd ot on the man coming out of the penalty box . Breakaway Such a bullshit call. It never should been called. Michigan record is now 13-12-7, and we have dropped behind Minnesota in the pariwise to # 23. Big ten conference record is 9-8-5-2.

Next week at Home Michigan plays Wisconsin and they need a sweep there and a sweep in the first round of the playoffs which will be a best 2 of 3 in the Btt.

Big ten standings.

Team needs a sweep at Wisconsin and tied 1-1 after one . After Wisconsin took a 2-1 lead Michigan offense responds with two goals to take a 3-2 lead. But then the porous Michigan defense and bad turnovers and Wisconsin score two to take a 4-3 lead at the end of the second period. Sure wish our defense was as good as our offense.
4-4 going to overtime. Michigan had a 2 minute power play and,it looked like Wisconsin had the power play . Lost 5-4 because of a awful pp and not covering the guy yet again coming out of the penalty box.

That last pp was some of the worst coaching and playing from the players I have ever seen by a Michigan team by the players and or coaches . It was awful. We had a pp and the full 2 minutes it looked like Wisconsin was on the power play, and when we finally got it into the Wisconsin zone we try and pass instead of shooting the damn puck, and Never covered the guy coming out of the box. Yet again. Mel Better find his last years magic because his team needs to start winning a bunch in a row starting next week.

Don’t get me started on Michigan’s shitty defense lead by Some high draft pick. All is see is guys reaching all over the place on defense. If you score 4 goals you should win games.

 

[biggunsbob]

That was by far the one of the worst 1 goal losses I have ever seen by a Michigan team. Wisconsin should have had 10 goals our defense was so bad. Our pp was so bad and I am so tired of our guys not covering guys coming out of the penalty box. So many times on the pp we gave up 2 on 1 ones . Wisconsin missed so many wide open nets.

 

[biggunsbob]

Same crap as Friday so far. Took a 1-0 lead then poor defense and bad goaltending gave up 2 goals. Trail 2-1 after one. Michigan having a better second period . Two goals and they are up 3-2 with three left in the second. Michigan leads 3-2 end of the second period.

 

[biggunsbob]

So here or is. Michigan needs 1 point in tonight’s game to secure home ice in the best of three series next weekend according to the broadcast guy on btn. So a win will do it for sure. Can’t lose in refulation or the first ot. . If it goes to the second ot I think we get a point.. Shootout for sure we get a point or two if we win it.

Wisconsin is all over Michigan last five minutes as the game is getting real chippy. Michigan is getting decent goaltending but Wisconsin is so close to tying it up.

One playoff matchup is set. All three games are are at higher seeded team.
Crap 7 left and badgers get a pp. badgers pull goalie and get a bad bounce
Goal . Tie game with 1 minute left. Mel’s team just sits back to much instead
Of going for the kill. Awful 3-3 going to ot. Michigan just can’t put any team
Away ever it seems. Let see what crap we can do this ot. Mel’s team is garbage .
They can’t hold leads.

Just waved off a winnning goal for Wisconsin in ot . To many men on the ice.

Michigan defense and goaltending is just awful . One guy just beat
4 guys ...Lost 4-3 in ot.
