U-M Hockey vs WI Sat "The Return of Henri" Open Thread
Welp. That happened.
And, lo, an old friend returns...
So, can we have any nice things today? Like a win that counts for NCAA purposes? 3-on-3 hockey is interesting and all, especially when Mel can put Norris, Lockwood & Hughes on the ice, but ...

Let's Go Blue! Fry the cheese curds. Or make poutine, or something.

MSU @ MN, PSU @ OSU start later.
November 24th, 2018 at 6:27 PM ^
Other sports exist, hurray!! Go hockey, go basketball
November 24th, 2018 at 6:41 PM ^
We dominated play last night and couldn't get a goal. Was obnoxious.
November 24th, 2018 at 6:45 PM ^
I saw the score after two, then I saw the shots, and thought, "Another opposing goalie standing on his head?"
November 24th, 2018 at 6:52 PM ^
They weren't great opportunities (except one by Lockwood) but plenty of them.
November 24th, 2018 at 6:57 PM ^
Not enough traffic in front of their goalie?
November 24th, 2018 at 7:01 PM ^
A little bit of that, a little bit of there's not a ton of elite talent at forward on this team.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:05 PM ^
Slaker back on 1st line.
Lines tonight. Puck drop in 30 minutes! #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/UOqVSV7tkD

Lavigne will get the start again.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:44 PM ^
Fuckin' refs. Hughes got abused, no call, retaliates and gets the slashing penalty. Mel is hot.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:46 PM ^
FUCK! They score PPG, 1-0 them.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:46 PM ^
1-0, PPG Badgers. Refs owe us, if radio guys can be believed.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:50 PM ^
Well, I believe Al & Andrew.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:50 PM ^
I tend to not, because they're relentless homers and not very good at their jobs to be honest.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:48 PM ^
WI switched goalies from last night. So let's see how he deals with a ton of shots, eh?
November 24th, 2018 at 7:51 PM ^
Missed the call, slashing, but we're on the PP.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:53 PM ^
No joy.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:53 PM ^
They’ve made it completely impossible to watch any M hockey this season. Thanks for nothing.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:55 PM ^
Surely you'd much rather watch WI vs PSU volleyball.
/S
November 24th, 2018 at 7:57 PM ^
I will defend volleyball as a spectator sport and those are two absurdly good teams. Though I'd rather watch Nebraska for... reasons.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:56 PM ^
Women's sports going on at the moment: Volleyball down a set to MSU, was down significantly in game 2 but have come back to make it close. State sucks so this is a disappointing performance. Women's hoops getting hammered in some tournament. Beat ranked Mizzou last night, but down 23-8 to Texas after a quarter. Shooting 4-23 (yikes).
November 24th, 2018 at 7:57 PM ^
Another PP, interference on them.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:59 PM ^
No joy again.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:07 PM ^
WI slashing at 15:42. But no joy yet again.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:10 PM ^
Another WI penalty. Skirmish, Another WI player came in and grabbed Pastujov.
Actually 2 WI for roughing, and Nick P for us.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
Oof, special teams.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
Sigh. No joy. 1-0 them after one.
We had 4 PPs. Wonder if WI is getting the 1st one of the 2nd period.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:21 PM ^
Women's hoops down 25 at the half. Shooting...um...5-36. Rebounding half their misses, but that's a lot of misses.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:31 PM ^
2nd period under way.
Shots U-M 13, WI 14.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:33 PM ^
WHOAAAAAAAAAA C YA!
Slashing on them.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:37 PM ^
Really wish our power play was good.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:38 PM ^
Maybe just decline the penalty.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:39 PM ^
Boka to the box. On the PK.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
Lavigne with a bunch of saves, keeping U-M close.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
D'OH! But some more WI shots, and they score. 2-0 them. (Was even strength.)
November 24th, 2018 at 8:47 PM ^
Moyle for hooking. Back to the PK.
November 24th, 2018 at 8:52 PM ^
GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!
Becker! 2-1 them.
(Even strength at 13:14, from Norris & Hughes)
November 24th, 2018 at 8:56 PM ^
We want MOAR goals!
November 24th, 2018 at 8:59 PM ^
CLIP: Tic-Tac-Toe!

Quinn Hughes takes the puck up on the rush, @jack_becker7 with a snipe to cut the deficit to 2-1, 13:14 into the second period! #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/ksWkdlOf51
November 24th, 2018 at 9:02 PM ^
Icing on U-M. Mel takes TO.
November 24th, 2018 at 9:08 PM ^
Volleyball beats State, finishes over .500 in conference (the Big Ten is ridiculous so that is a major accomplishment). Right at the fringe of hosting NCAA tournament games, selection is tomorrow.
November 24th, 2018 at 9:11 PM ^
A win over staee is always a good sign even on a gray day like today. Let's hope the change of fortune hits the icers.
November 24th, 2018 at 9:14 PM ^
State is baaaaaaad (5-15 in conference) so losing to them would have been a disaster.
November 24th, 2018 at 9:15 PM ^
Losing to staee is always a disaster.
November 24th, 2018 at 9:10 PM ^
2-1 them after two.
Hughes has 44 sec left on a penalty.
November 24th, 2018 at 9:13 PM ^
Shots U-M 6, WI 16, tot 19, 30.
November 24th, 2018 at 9:17 PM ^
MSU 0, MN 2 in the 2nd. PSU 2, OSU 1 in the 2nd.
November 24th, 2018 at 9:20 PM ^
Women's hoops loses by 17 to Texas. Good fight in the second half, got it within 14 a couple times (25 at half). But shot really poorly (29% overall, 3-21 from three) which makes it hard. Texas is top ten, so no shame. Michigan beat a top 20 team yesterday.
November 24th, 2018 at 9:25 PM ^
3rd period under way.
Let's Go Blue!
Play better D.
November 24th, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
Sounds like we're carrying play this period.
