This is an NHL game. Great early save by Barzo, great chances at the other end. Waiting for that one moment of pure skill to even it up.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:08 PM ^
These announcers are getting extremely excited about goals that didn't happen.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:11 PM ^
If these guys worked in another industry they'd be called fluffers...
April 11th, 2024 at 10:08 PM ^
they've been mostly one and done in their offensive zone. Keep grinding -- and earn that PP!!!
April 11th, 2024 at 10:08 PM ^
How can they pronounce Gauthier and not McGroarty?
April 11th, 2024 at 10:08 PM ^
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA C YA!!
Interference on them [@ 4:05].
April 11th, 2024 at 10:08 PM ^
#1 power play. But let's talk about bc though
April 11th, 2024 at 10:09 PM ^
PP - let's convert.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:11 PM ^
Frank's gotta bury that.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:11 PM ^
Noto sure if that's a lady or a kid yelling, but someone edit them out plz.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:11 PM ^
No joy.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:11 PM ^
My God. We're whiffing a lot on shots
April 11th, 2024 at 10:12 PM ^
How many whiffs is that in the last 2 minutes?
April 11th, 2024 at 10:12 PM ^
guy comes out of the box 1 v 2 and announcer acts like it's an odd man rush. they love BC
April 11th, 2024 at 10:12 PM ^
Great block Brindley
April 11th, 2024 at 10:12 PM ^
Brindley with a great block, may have saved us from a 2-goal deficit
April 11th, 2024 at 10:13 PM ^
I only watch hockey when Michigan is in the tournament so this may be ignorant to ask, but is it normal for a team to whiff on this many shots? Seems like 4 or 5 times where they have had shots and completely missed the puck and I have not seen it happen to BC once.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:16 PM ^
Not normal, but from what I've seen, this game is being played multiple notches above what most are. Everything is faster, meaning that there are going to be mistakes.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:17 PM ^
Noticed the same, and it was happening two weeks ago as well.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:22 PM ^
Two weeks ago was as much because of shitty ice conditions as anything else. All four teams at that St Louis practice rink were having the same problem.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:14 PM ^
4-on-2 goes wanting.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:15 PM ^
Do we have energy to do this for three periods?
April 11th, 2024 at 10:15 PM ^
One play away. But our guys seem to be losing their footing/completely fanning on the puck a LOT.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:15 PM ^
Happened a lot in the first, too. Starting to be really noticeable.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:15 PM ^
Ughh man. Nazar just missed the net
April 11th, 2024 at 10:15 PM ^
How many players have lost their edge around the middle of this rink? This ice surface seems awful.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:15 PM ^
I like the game plan and execution so far. Keep pressing, not giving BC much at all in terms of time to set up. Doing great work in front and keeping them out of home plate. Got to stick with this and grind these guys down.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:16 PM ^
Man. Having trouble skating and shooting. Lots of good chances. That 4 on 2 looked promising.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:16 PM ^
Pace is crazy, wonder how this will look in the 3rd
April 11th, 2024 at 10:16 PM ^
I feel a goal coming
April 11th, 2024 at 10:16 PM ^
BC's roster sounds like the wine list at a Montreal restaurant.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:17 PM ^
Which goes with poutine?
April 11th, 2024 at 10:17 PM ^
We are hanging tough
April 11th, 2024 at 10:20 PM ^
No invoking NKOTB against a Boston team.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:17 PM ^
Shots aren't on net right now. Gotta stop being so perfect
April 11th, 2024 at 10:17 PM ^
BCs so lethal on the counter. You feel like Michigans due for a goal soon, but one mistake and you've got an OMR the other way with a few 1st round draft picks
April 11th, 2024 at 10:20 PM ^
Love how BC isn't getting much of a chance to set up in the O zone, and that, in the few times when they do, the boys are selling out blocking shots.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:21 PM ^
It’s truck month!!!! Again
April 11th, 2024 at 10:21 PM ^
I've never seen so many blocked shots in my life, holy shit
April 11th, 2024 at 10:22 PM ^
Holtz with a solid hit down behind our net. Need all of that, bring the heavy play with our speed
April 11th, 2024 at 10:22 PM ^
It's the "Legg."
April 11th, 2024 at 10:22 PM ^
Bucci really loves him some BC, huh?
April 11th, 2024 at 10:23 PM ^
Turnover and they trip @ 11:45.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:23 PM ^
ANOTHER whiff. But penalty on them. C'mon guys
April 11th, 2024 at 10:23 PM ^
Let's Go PP!
April 11th, 2024 at 10:23 PM ^
Minnesota should be embarrassed by this surface.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:23 PM ^
Let’s get it done!!
April 11th, 2024 at 10:23 PM ^
Make ‘em pay.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:24 PM ^
D'OH! Tripping on Duke @ 12:11.
April 11th, 2024 at 10:24 PM ^
these are dumb penalties
