U-M Hockey @ to Hell with Notre Dame - Friday Open Thread

Tied at 1 after 1

End of 1. 1-1. Michigan largely controlled play, but it felt like we gave up a lot of dangerous looks whenever Notre Dame had it. Too many quick breakaways and open looks for them. 

gotta identify their assignments in their own zone better.  thanks to that post its still tied.

Uhh what?

Apparently 5 min major to Beecher and game misconduct. Refs announced it at intermission. Wtf

Are there stats for 5 minute majors taken by a team? Because Michigans gotta be #1 by a mile

every weekend……

Is this a makeup call for molly ?

Might as well get the mandatory 5-minute major taken care of during intermission so we don’t get a big replay delay.

I mean they’re going to call at least one a weekend. At least. 

They called THAT a 5 minute major? What the hell  I know that shouldve been a penalty but when did the neck or collarbone become part of your head?

That's BS...  Yeah, Beecher crossed him, but only after that guy put his helmet into Beechers face.  And no penalty on ND.  Figures.

I guess the rule for Contact to the Head says “head or neck area”. Still surprised the ref deemed that a major

I’d really like an explanation as to how that’s a major but earlier in the year, GVW was laying on the ice and gets a cross check to the side of the head that breaks his helmet and… nothing.

Gonna be a hairy start of the 2nd. The defense has been iffy thus far 

Michigan is 2nd in PIM this season. I wish the NCAA would break it down into minors and majors because I’d bet my life we’ve taken the most majors

That was the call? Unreal.

Honestly, I saw one or two early ND hits that looked questionable. Why aren’t they reviewing those?

I must need Peacock Platinum to get the penalty clock

Honestly my big worry with majors is that we’ll get called for some unfair major in the tournament and it costs us the title. 

Well theres your first Portillo oh no in a while. 
2-1

that was bad erik

Puck slowed down too much for Portillo to play that

Well, that sucked.

Welp. Unwise Erik makes an appearance. 

Looks like Bordeleau is centering Samo and Duke now. Not sure whos with Estapa and Pasta now

I don't want to do Peacock, but there just are no words for how awful the Michigan radio call is. Yeah, let's take the fastest game to commentate and put a sluggish, generally out to lunch guy to narrate a solid 2-3 seconds behind. I just want to shake him and tell him to speed the fuck up. You can't narrate hockey like you're reading a bedtime story FGS. 

Meh. Incidental contact

What's it matter if he doesn't see the guy coming?  That's an interference penalty!  WTF???

I assume it’s Al calling the game. I like him, and haven’t listened as much in recent years, but I think he’s lost his fastball. 

How’s that not a penalty? I’m so sick of refs having their thumbs on the scale every fucking game

Michigans official account comes thru with goods. I wouldve died because I woildve bet my life were #1 in majors. Sadly only #2 with 10 behind Mercyhursts 12

I think it is Al - he's been brutal for a while 

Omg i knew that was gonna happen. Minutes of sustained pressure, ND finally possesses the puck again and scores on their first chance in like 5 minutes

I hate notre dame hockey 

Is Portillo's rebound control always this bad?

All the breaks...

Notre Dame is 20-1 when scoring 3+

TERRIFIC

ND hockey is the absolute worst
