U-M Hockey vs OSU BTT Semi - Saturday Open Thread
So it's come down to this: a chance for redemption against OSU, against whom we were 1-2-1 (SOL). It seems like a tall task to avoid many turnovers against their forecheck, while trying to F-I-S-T, but hope springs eternal. Survive and advance. Let the plinko begin!
Time: 6:30 PM ET
Watch: BTN actual
Listen: Varsity Network audio, WCBN on YouTube

I read "Him" and all I can think of is Captain Chaos and Cannonball Run.
Michigan Risk needs your help. Orders are a bit slow today and there's only two days left for you to plant your Michigan flag in Buckeye country. Head over to CFB Risk and attack any of the OSU (gray) territories. If you want a specific attack/defend order aligned with Michigan’s current battle plan go to Michigan Risk Central Command.

Beat Ohio!
Warde was on team radio during the intermission. Said nothing of substance.
Other other game: WMU has tied it 2-2 in the 3rd.
3rd period under way. Let's Go Blue! Finish them!
Twenty big minutes now. Pitter patter let's get at 'er!
D'OH! Tripping on Estapa @ 35 sec.
Dude skated into him.
Phantom trip…flopping in reality
Ice is slippery
Fucking refs
Damn, stole the puck, but didn't manage to complete the pass.
SHIT! They score PPG, 4-2 U-M.
Two horseshit penalties, two PPGs for OSU. Thanks, zebras.
Michigan 4 - Refs 2
That is...not a great goal on several levels.
Portillo falling over...again
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA C YA!!!
Goalie Interference @ 2:20.
[Moved Portillo's stick on the ice away from him]
ARGH! Didn't get a shot on the break.
Just pass the puck around and play "keep away" for the 3rd.
Frustrate the heck outta 'em and win this thing.
GO BLUE!
No joy.
Luke being super casual with the puck in his own end.
Good pad save by Portillo as a Buckeye was left alone in front attempting the shot. Then he covered.
Feels like possession starting to tilt to the bad guys
Damn, turnover, but we don't capitalize.
[Had a couple shots before Dobes knocked the net off (no call)]
DELAY OF GAME
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
Hallum!!!!! 5-2 U-M!!!!!
F-I-S-T!!!!!
Dobes got away with delay of game
Great camerawork BTN
Would have been nice to see it but GOOOOAAALLLL!
Michigan 5, Refs 2
We want MOAR goals!!!!!
Suck it, refs! (And Trebek.)
HIGH STICK
Boys are buzzing!
Before the game I was skeptical we'd score 5. Now just need to sweep the leg.
Put 'em in a body bag!
Cumong, man! DZTO on crappy pass up the center.
In a perfect world the Devils would see that shit and tell him to stay another year. I know it won't happen, but yeesh.
8:57 left, 5-2 U-M.
5-2 U-M. 7:53 left.
