Let's Go Blue! Kill the Gophers! And no majors/GMs/DQs for us, plz!
Post!
Yay, PK!
Great recovery and penalty kill.
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAA C YA!
Holding on them @ 14:44.
We've dominated this period
Oh my! - they call a penalty on Nellie Olsen
We can haz PPG?
Portillo saves SH chance.
is it me, or are these announcers completely slurping minnesota?
also, minnesota hockey fans appear to be as annoying as iowa women’s hoops fans, which is to say nonstop bitching. my lord.
They all drool over the Gophers - Gross
No joy.
Phew! Post!
Save, Portillo! .7 sec left.
What is with the cherry picking?
2-2 after two.
Nice to see a strong forecheck and a willingness to shoot the open shot this game. Just have to balance the forecheck a bit with not having a gopher caught behind our last guy. Fun game!
Shots: U-M 14, MN 9, tot 20, 16.
We're the better team tonight. Win the game.
Seriously, I hope these chucklefucks on the broadcast choke on their snack at the intermission. I've heard less homerism on teams radio broadcasts.
There's worse than these guys.
Other other games: NMU 2, MN St 0, late mid 2nd.
Colgate 3, Harvard 1, early 3rd.
Merrimack 2, BU 2, late 3rd.
CO College 0, St. Cloud St 1, end of one.
go NMU! beat minny state!
Can't complain. Now a 20 minute game; been playing pretty darn good defense, and light on the penalties. Minny looks very dependent on their top line. Keep grinding!
Our special teams have stunk for awhile now so it’s nice to see the penalty kill come through twice but man it seems like forever since we’ve scored a power play goal.
We also need to stop giving up odd man rushes.
Having Edwards/Casey paired is going to be how we're eliminated. They're fine players, but as a pair they are too aggressive.
No mention of us beating Minny at their barn last year. LFG
We'll just have to do it again then.
3rd period under way. Let's Go Blue! Win. The. Game!
MN St tied it with 2 late 3rd period goals, going to OT.
DAMMIT! They score, 3-2 them.
Damn, school is in session
Honestly that was incredible lmao. Had him on skates figuratively.
That was pathetic!
Play the body, not the puck Holtz
oh, my, that was pretty. oof.
stupid name, tho.
Pathetic defense
When I was six and started playing hockey I heard about not playing the puck but playing the kid.
That was awful.
After we had a chance, but our shot was blocked. Nazar probably could have shot instead.
Exactly....it was too crowded. Take the shot. And I don't even play hockey and I know you play the body. Far too many "fast breaks" for MN tonight.
Shoot it low, hope he gives up a rebound.
If we're gonna lose, I hope it ends 3-2, because my oh my that was beautiful.
Ok wipe the jizz off your mouths, announcers
I get that they are annoying, but MN is the #1 team in the country and that goal was sweet.
YASSSSSSS
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
Casey!!! 3-3.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Casey Tied at 3
SNIPE!
MN challenge for offsides.
Matzo is challenging
Bullshit challenge
