U-M Hockey vs PSU in NY Sat Open Thread
With Norris out U-M withstood 15 shots in 1st period on Th. 2nd period was bonkers, as U-M got the 1st goal, then #2-4 came within 92 seconds! Change of venue to Madison Square Garden. This game will probably be different, but the hard work and shot blocking need to continue, and hopefully U-M will keep putting pucks inna net.
Time: 7PM ET

Go Blue!
January 26th, 2019 at 7:03 PM ^
Game on!
January 26th, 2019 at 7:05 PM ^
Lavigne looks sharp, flashing the leather.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:07 PM ^
So close!
January 26th, 2019 at 7:10 PM ^
Crossbar! (shot by van Wyhe)
January 26th, 2019 at 7:12 PM ^
FUCK! They score. 1-0 them.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:13 PM ^
Great puck movement so far. Lots of time in their end.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:13 PM ^
Maybe Hughes shouldn't have asked Barratt if he was going to do anything.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:13 PM ^
Well, there goes my in insight!
January 26th, 2019 at 7:14 PM ^
Pedo St scores 3 seconds after I turn on the game.
guess I’ll turn it off, I’m bad juju
January 26th, 2019 at 7:15 PM ^
Not a fan of the continued just absolutely awful turnovers.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:18 PM ^
Argh! 2nd crossbar!
January 26th, 2019 at 7:19 PM ^
Honestly can’t understand how we haven’t scored yet. Two posts, good shots with open net... how are we not leading. Ugh. Team looks great except no goals and one bad giveaway.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:25 PM ^
Two bad giveaways.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
SHIT! 2-0 them.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
And Hughes gets stripped causing a breakaway and its 2-0 PSU.
Hockey is maddening sometimes.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:22 PM ^
Can’t tell what will happen first — win both games in the same hockey series or shoot better than abysmal in basketball for two straight games.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:24 PM ^
B-ball, I think.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:29 PM ^
Dammit! Ringing the iron again!
January 26th, 2019 at 7:31 PM ^
We can haz PPG?
January 26th, 2019 at 7:34 PM ^
FML. 3-0 them.
What an awful PP.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:35 PM ^
Sometimes Quinn is an idiot.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:35 PM ^
Normally, you wait until the end of a game to have a shootout.......
January 26th, 2019 at 7:35 PM ^
Quinn Hughes and Lavigne have both been terrible today.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:37 PM ^
I am not sure I blame Lavigne for the two shootout goals.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:40 PM ^
Psu has eight shots and three goals. Even if you are put in bad position, you can go out and stuff one.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:43 PM ^
Ideally, yeah, but the goals are two clean breaks and a guy uncontested from the point after an atrocious defensive zone turnover. Absolute grade A scoring chances on all of those. Ideally you stop one but hard to blame him for them.
January 26th, 2019 at 9:09 PM ^
There are goalies that can bail you out on at least a couple of those and keep it close. It would be nice if Lavigne were that guy.
But the best solution is not to make a goalie go through that. Because even the best will get beat occasionally, and Michigan was teeing Lavigne up to get beat.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:36 PM ^
This first period is a puck luck nightmare
January 26th, 2019 at 7:39 PM ^
Jeez, can't find the back of the net.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:40 PM ^
Power Play is atrocious.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:40 PM ^
3-0 them after one.
Ugh.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:46 PM ^
Shots on goal 22-8 in favor of Michigan and we're behind 3-0. WTF. Great offense, but no luck. Defense needs some smelling salts. Geez.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:47 PM ^
Shots: U-M 22 (and what, 4-5 crossbar/posts?), PSU 8.
57 sec of PP to start the 2nd. /wavestinyflag
FYS 0, @ ND 0 after one. WI @ MN hasn't started.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:50 PM ^
it is not a coincidence that Hughes is -4 entering this game and Blankenburg is +7

OMG! How did that squirt out wide?
January 26th, 2019 at 7:58 PM ^
FUCK! They score, 4-0 them.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:58 PM ^
Penn State just toying with us now.
January 26th, 2019 at 7:59 PM ^
Well that suxks
January 26th, 2019 at 8:00 PM ^
and I'm switching to the All-Star Game
January 26th, 2019 at 8:01 PM ^
GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL! Morgan! 4-1 them.
January 26th, 2019 at 8:01 PM ^
Neat. Just 3 more of those and we will be tied...
January 26th, 2019 at 8:02 PM ^
YAYYYYYY us (finally) !
4-1
January 26th, 2019 at 8:02 PM ^
We need MOAR goals!
January 26th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
WHOAAAAAAAAAAA C YA!

Dammit. Hughes turns it over - again. They score - again. 5-1.
January 26th, 2019 at 8:12 PM ^
Jesus Christ Quinn Hughes, you are just killing us.
January 26th, 2019 at 8:13 PM ^
The Power Play quite literally couldn’t be any worse than it is.
Its a bludgeoning in the Garden tonight on the way to sub .500 hockey.
January 26th, 2019 at 8:13 PM ^
Hughes and Lavigne need to hit the showers
