U-M Hockey vs Colgate NCAAT - Friday Open Thread
Let's get started on time, make simple plays, go to the net hard, and skate, skate, skate.
Time: 8:30 PM ET
Watch: ESPN2
Listen: Varsity Network
Let's Go Blue! Flatten the Toothpaste! And no majors/GMs/DQs for us, plz!
That’s not Seamus Casey!
Impression so far B10 seems good at hockey.
Somehow we’re now in a position where people are gonna expect us to win by 6+
No pressure or anything…
If that's a total while winning both regional games, sounds good to me.
Or even all the games, though that would take some more years off my life.
Beat Col-
no mercy
It just occurred to me that if we beat the toothpaste, the path to a banner could go through PSU, OSU and the upside down W.
We've had one Big Ten Tournament, yes.
What about second Big Ten Tournament?
NCAA tournament is a play in for the Big Ten tourney.
Big Ten just absolutely pouring it on here, jeez.
This morning I commented that Colgate beating Harvard and Quinnipiac should give us some pause…..and it still should. But OSU cancelling Harvards program takes a loooot of shine off that win. The ECAC might just suck and the Big Ten might just be incredibly strong
I guess we'll see how good Qpac goalie is.
“EZAC”
Unfortunately, means we might have to play B1G teams that we know are tough, tough matchups.
Lapointe is not listed on the lineup sheet, even as a non-dresser. Did I miss an announcement on him?
He was the extra extra skater listed recently, but got scratched. He's not a guy who's played a lot. They just decided Luca Fantilli would be the extra skater.
hey mgoarchive, so appreciate the stream.
Is there a way to contribute to this?
I get nervous for big Michigan games in football and basketball but for some reason I am the most nervous during hockey games.
Because the strangest shit can happen.
Because single elimination hockey is insanity. Especially as the favored team; it’s terrifying
OT: Turner dives and gets a hand on a Grenada shot, which caroms off the post. Still 1-0 USA.
[Edit] Ohhhh, Pepi was in alone after a pass over the top, shot into the keeper.
That was an absolute laser shot
OT: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!
USA 2, Grenada 0.
Aaronson from Pulisic, who also assisted on 1st goal by Pepi.
OT: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
McKennie!!! 3-0 USA!!!
U-M game on!
D'OH! Adam Fantilli for Slashing @ 47 sec.
Discipline, dammit
Already going on the pk. Not a great start vs a team that would love to go up 1-0 and neutral zone trap from there
DISCIPLINE!! No freaking Penalty's.

Penalties.
It’s going to be one of THOSE games.
Phantom slash?
Yay, PK!
Hey, boarding?!?!
Boarding god damn it
How do you not call that board. Refs already suck
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA C YA!
Tripping @ 3:14.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, robbed!
Save, Portillo: 2 v 1 SH chance.
No joy.
Michigan controlling play. Colgates goalie looking sharp so far……
Or at least big.
Don't pass into traffic on the power play
No joy on the power play. Four great chances, couldn't find the net.
Portillo makes a great save on a 2-on-1 the other way.
Not an ideal start for M so far...
I mean... We had better chances when shorthanded, had high quality chances on ours, and we've had control 5 on 5. Goals will come.
Well said, and completely accurate!
