Let's Go Blue! Pluck the Eagles!
No joy.
michigan is going to win this game.
red wings tie it up on pittsburgh, 5-5, with 3 minutes left.
believe.
Another penalty. This is getting rough here.
FUCK YOU, REFS! Tripping on Edwards @ 15:50
[Edit] They corrected, put Estapa in.
Tic tac call
If anybody tripped anyone, it was Estapa.
I'm looking forward to some thin calls our way
Jesus fuck, again something stupid
They were right the first time, it was Estapa reaching. Weak call, but a risk.
This game is tons more enjoyable with the sound off.
Soft call.
Bucci is calling this game likes its just BCs coronation on the way to the finals. Might need to mute this
yeah, the praise for BC is gross. please make it stop.
Michigan needs to make it stop. It’s the only way
Football and Harbaugh found the solution to silence the haters. It was amazing.
They got it right, Estapa should be scratched Saturday if we win this.
SH chance is saved.
Red Wings get a point. Heading to overtime
Please finish off the Pens.
Sincerely, Isles fans and good folks everywhere.
Need traffic in front of their G.
Is Thomas Holmstrom available?
Yay, PK! Now stay out of the damn box!
Good kill.
We can more then hang with these guys. We look like the better team.
Keep going 110% pace and stop taking penalties. We're there.
1-0 them after one.
One unshining moment. The rest looked good.
Wings lose in OT, 6-5
Not usually on board with whining about refs and announcers but these announcers don't even recognize that two teams are playing
I am usually on board with complaining about both of the above. So you can only imagine how irritated I am.
Need a goal to open this up
Wings lose. I hate that forking patch!!!!!
This team might be as high as a 5/6 playoff seed with replacement-level goaltending. Can't get a save to save their playoff lives.
Can't stand the Penguins
One real bad pinch against this elite transition team and two dumb penalties. Otherwise we were better in a moment to moment basis, but no absolute grade A's.
Shots: U-M 9, BC 6.
Fuck. I’ll take 1-0. Fowler isn’t gonna let in anything easy. Gotta get creative. A PP would be nice
So not a hockey comment... The BC band has tuning issues and nasty wrong notes. Between the awful announcing and the band this is hard to listen to.
Apparently we have a goalie too
Stay on them -- speed and physicality. No dumb penalties and keep throwing it at the net. We can beat these guys, but we can't take our feet off the gas here. Burn those BC kids out.
The school I have a masters from versus the school I dropped out of halfway through my junior year.
The entire ESPN crew talking about BC like we're the Atlantic Hockey autobid just hanging around and standing in awe at BC's talent...while we outplayed BC for big chunks of that period. Muuuute.
Guy wanted to say something good about us and ESPN cut him into a commercial. He will get a talking to.
The question he was responding to was something like "tell us what you liked about Boston College in that first period." They aren't subtle.
This is what happens every year when ESPN doesn't even look at college hockey till the tournament starts. They don't actually know much about the season so they just ride easy narratives

They did the Beanpot. And it shows (first game wasn't much better).

Mobile linking to Twitter isn’t as easy as it used to be. But you can see my view if you want.
My daughter’s second ever time hearing a Michigan band in person; they enthusiastically gave her a pic.

Anytime we're on ESPN I just count on the disrespekt. Go Blue, we look good out there. Keep doing what you're doing.

2nd period under way. LFGo Blue!
