U-M Hockey @ OSU BTT Saturday Survive & Advance Open Thread
Oh how I hate Ohio State! Beat the Buckeyes!
Stay out of the damn box!
Time: 7:30 EST
Watch: BTN (wait, what? actual TV???)
Listen: MGoBlue audio
Let's Go Blue!
Shit, another U-M penalty.
and not a really great one, either. Unhelpful
FUCK, they score PPG, 1-0 them.
and, naturally they score. PK is just very hard to watch.
1-0 OSU on the PP
Couldn't get the puck cleared on that PK.
Ugh. Two penalties in the first period, this was almost inevitable.
30 seconds left, ND leads 3-2
This teams PK will be it's undoing. What a mess.
Notre Dame scores, 3-2 30 seconds left.
Not enough ice availability? Mel said pregame they didn't even get a skate yesterday.
Rumors are that the schools couldn't promise to leave the arenas available for up to 3 games this weekend. Ohio State and Wisconsin host high school championships and stuff they were not willing to move, apparently.
From a competitive standpoint, extra losses for your top teams is not ideal for NCAA tournament seeding - for example, if PSU lost two to ND this weekend it might knock them out of the tournament, but one loss isn't so difficult to handle. FWIW I think all other conferences are single elimination for the semis and finals (so most are happening next weekend).
I think the ideal setup would be to have quarterfinals as they are but have semis and finals in one weekend at the #1 seed's home ice. That way teams don't have so few games the weekends before the tournament.
Notre Dame 3, Penn State 2
The Big Ten Championship Game will be in South Bend next Saturday
Go Blue. Fuck Ohio.
got to stay off the PK, boys. Otherwise, chances looked pretty close to me. Little less good-looking after the goal.
Stay out of the damn box!
Stay out of the damn box and we can win this.
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA C YA!
Sigh, no joy. Couldn't keep the puck in the zone.
Marody! 1-1!
GOAAAALLLL!!!!!!!! MARODY!
Wow, scoring while down on the ice!
got some nice bounces that they really earned. Let's get anothah
We want MOAR goals!
closing hand? Looked to me like he let it down gently. Good non-call
CLIP: Marody from the ground to even it up at one apiece 11:16 into the second period! #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/gZsHqaOTMI
