Michigan Hockey Hosting Ohio State

Yost Ice Arena, 5:05pm, Fox Sports Detroit

Michigan is coming off a somewhat debacle in Columbus where they got smashed, made a great rally, gave it away, before losing in a shootout.

Racine back in net for Michigan

Need a win to keep their pairwise ranking status (still #8) and also to keep pace with Minnesota and Penn State for the Big Ten title.

Hopefully just a game. The guy he pounded threw a couple shots before they separated away from the group.

That whole thing was on the refs, there was a lot of cheap shit the last 30 seconds of the game. They needed to call a penalty, stop the game and control it. You could see that coming a mile away. Typical B1G refs....going to be down Martin because they couldn't keep a lid on the game.

I really don't care if you buy it as the proof is in the pudding.

Followed up the loss to them in 2012-13 with a 1-6 stretch and finished with a losing season. Most of those games in that stretch were in embarrassing fashion.

Entered the game in 2013-14 with a 10-2-1 record, lost and went 8-11-4 the rest of the way.

Losing to what is essentially a high school all-star team isn't exact a morale boost.

Did anyone vid the scrum at end? Post link to YouTube or whatever here, plz. My DVR thinks these games end in 2.5 flat. Doesn't have auto-extend option. Boo that

Game turned around when I turned the game off my laptop which was streaming Hockey during MBB and put it on the big screen. Quite a comeback, but this is a very disturbing trend. OSU scored as many times this weekend as they have losses. And Michigan scoring double digits every week isn't sustainable. GREAT to win, but the insanity these games have has to stop.

play some defense

Edit: the offense and defense are diverging statistically again. The offense is now a full half goal in front of 2nd place nationally which is just insane. 4.86 vs. 4.29 for Robert Morris. Sadly the defense has tipped from around 31st overall down to 43rd with 3.10 goals allowed per game. In the horrendous Big Ten, that's a dangerous game to be playing
