Lavigne has the start in net.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:04 PM ^
I don't want to be dramatic, but BTN Plus can eat my ass.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:08 PM ^
I would have said "toss my salad."

Buckeyes 3 on 1 thwarted by Lavigne.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:13 PM ^
FUCK! They score, 1-0 them.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:16 PM ^
Late guy not covered. Sigh.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:19 PM ^
Argh. Van Wyhe tripping.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
U-M holding strong at the blue line, has sent many pucks back to OSU zone.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:22 PM ^
OSU gets in, shot saved by Lavigne.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:23 PM ^
Can anybody tell me why we seem so... average? I know they had a great run to finish the season last year but why are they struggling so much this year? Didn't we have Red retire so we could get Mel and stop our backslide?
January 11th, 2019 at 7:34 PM ^
Lack of scoring talent. What we have is on the first line (and Norris is out tonight). Instead of a 2nd line of scoring talent, it's more gritty. They may score, but then we have games with plenty of shots that don't find their way into the net.
WIth the lack of talent, this team needs to be on the ball defensively, but isn't.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:25 PM ^
Yay, PK!
January 11th, 2019 at 7:40 PM ^
Lockwood tripped. 1:18 left in 1st.
We needz PPG.

Michigan has been on TV 3–count them—3 times this season.
All of the B1G truthers trying to sell that it was going to be a great idea and better exposure wound up being full of shit just as I said they were back in 2013.
This is miserable. This conference does not give a sliver of a crap about hockey. They put a bunch of people in Farmington Hills out of jobs just so they could use hockey to sell subscriptions to their poorly-run BTN+ streams.
Popularity of hockey on campus is at a low that I’ve personally never seen before. It’s just another sport now.
January 11th, 2019 at 8:33 PM ^
Farmington Hills? Who are you talking about?
Hockey will gain on campus when they start winning again...see MBB
January 11th, 2019 at 8:40 PM ^
CCHA.
January 12th, 2019 at 1:30 PM ^
Michigan went to the Frozen Four last year. You can't tell based on crowd size and people talking about the team.
January 11th, 2019 at 8:40 PM ^
BTN has a hockey game on tonight but they do NOT have any hockey each of the next 3 Fridays.
Which is, frankly, crazy.
A typical winter (January-February) BTN weekend should look like this:
Friday: hockey at 6:30 & 9. A weekly double-header. Even the Eastern Time Zone schools can host the occasional game at 9: when students are in session some of them will show up. Would perhaps be a cool atmosphere.
Saturday: men's college hoops, all the games that aren't on the other TV platforms.
Sunday: various women's hoops games & wrestling duel-meets in the afternoon. One men's game in the evening.
BTN+ would still be necessary. There's no way BTN could show every hockey game. But they could do a hell of a lot better than they currently do.
January 11th, 2019 at 11:43 PM ^
This is going to be a shocker to you but they put what people watch. If you have a problem with the programming take it up with the fact that people don’t watch college hockey
January 11th, 2019 at 7:59 PM ^
2nd period under way.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:59 PM ^

FUCK! Two penalties on us.
January 11th, 2019 at 8:02 PM ^
Raabe hauled down, no call.
January 11th, 2019 at 8:02 PM ^
Post save! Two post saves!
January 11th, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
Yay, PK!
January 11th, 2019 at 8:10 PM ^
GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLL!
Slaker! 1-1!
January 11th, 2019 at 8:13 PM ^
Pastujov hauled down by OSU, has contact with goalie. Then some wrasslin'. Fuckin' refs just even it up.
January 11th, 2019 at 8:15 PM ^
Refs in Columbus you know the results
January 11th, 2019 at 8:16 PM ^
Tying it up at one apiece, @JakeSlaker_ puts it in the back of the net 6:40 into the first period!#GoBlue pic.twitter.com/xFfi3kfSYc
