Announcer thinks the B1G logo looks good at Center Ice
Hey, we're spending some time in the offensive zone!
Almost
"...and he can play hockey too"
-BTN color guy
It appears to me that they can all play hockey sir
Puck -> Net please
Whoa C YA!
Nice shot by Copp
Phew! Save, Nagelvoort!
I just shat myself
Sigh, no joy.
Wow this is some sloppy-ass passing going on. Nearly gave the puck over one time then we did give it over the 2nd time. Shoulda-coulda been a shorty for PSU
Good start, awful finish to that PP
8:30 left
a little more zip on that shot may have deflected in off Skoff's skate
Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there...
... with a Michigan goal?
Maybe they're saving their energy for Wisconsin tomorrow?
Right? >_>
This is brutal. It's like 90% of the usual NCAA tournament terror
Shots 19-22, caught up on faceoffs, 20-18.
I have a feeling this is the beginning of 20 years of ok PSU teams inexplicably playing really good Michigan teams well
Why do we play down to their level?
I hate that we haven't scored yet. We already had 4 on Minnesota by this time last weekend
TV time out with 4:56 left in second
We need a GOAL now Let's Go Blue
HOW DID MOFFATT MISS THAT. AAARRGGGHHHH
So close...
Michigan looking better but I remain terrified
We need a goal before the period ends
A lot of great chances right now
1:30
Turnover, but Nagelvoort bails us out.
off a turnover. Nice save by Nagelvoort
Goalie Sieve Goalie Sieve GOALIE!!
How much time is left???
F*CK
PSU goal on a breakaway
FUCK They Score
oh my god. wow.
1-0 psu
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Breakaway goal them, last 30s of period.
FUCK
WHY DO WE KEEP SUCKING AGAINST THIS AWFUL TEAM
SONOFABITCH! SHIT!
fuck
I wish I could say something goofy like "That goal will wake them up" but Michigan was finally looking good. I hate everything about Penn State hockey
We were having a much better period, too, and screw it all up at the end.
This team doesn't deserve the tourney if this is going to be their intensity level for a must-win game.
If you can't win a best of 5 series against Penn State, you really shouldn't have the opportunity to compete for a national title
Never give up a goal in the first or last minute. Really shows lack of focus. It does give Red something quite specific to ream these guys about and hope they can come out with their hair on fire to close it.
We better score soon or no hockey til October
