U-M Hockey @ OSU BTT Saturday Survive & Advance Open Thread
Oh how I hate Ohio State! Beat the Buckeyes!
Stay out of the damn box!
Time: 7:30 EST
Watch: BTN (wait, what? actual TV???)
Listen: MGoBlue audio
Let's Go Blue!
Go Blue.
Penn State and Notre Dame tied 2-2 in front of a packed house in South Bend, btw. Way better than empty neutral sites. Hey NCAA hockey committee, are you watching?
On espnu right now headed to the third for those interested. GO BLUE!!!!
Mel says the team had a better week of practice compared to the week prior.
Good to score goals against WI, a lot of people got involved, but they need to be better defensively.

oh boy...at least we are due for a win against these guys?
Weird that USCHO's abbrivation for Notre Dame is NDM. Then again, they have us as MIC on their scoreboard.
We get to host next weekend if PSU wins and we win, right? Go Nittany Lions....?
In college hockey, "ND" is just as, or more likely, to mean perennial power North Dakota.
It's time.
Rise to the occasion, gentlemen, and BEAT THE BUCKEYES!
doesn't really matter the location
better than they usually get....
Yeah, looks decent. They probably declined to sell any upper level seats.
If OSU played in a 5-7000 seat arena they would develop a good in-house fanbase and a better hockey culture. But even great turnouts at the Schott (they could draw 10k + for Michigan or Michigan State back in the day, not sure about now) looked sparse in that size of a facility.
Let's make sure to call it by its proper name: Value City Arena!
(snicker)
Game on!
Game on!
is it as bad for everyone else as it sounds like on my tv at the moment?
Hey, that guy looks familiar!
Notre Dame 2, Penn State 2...
ND is coming close, but PSU is getting chances still, shots are 39-36 in ND's favor
Jeez, Lavigne!
holy shit lavigne, what was that
Red's in the house eating popcorn!
keep it up!
thankfully it stayed out
1) Nationwide is a really nice arena - so sad to see that it's not full. Boo not-being-on-a-campus-for-this
2) Jack MF Johnson and Zach Werenski play for CBJ, so maybe there's some favorable mojo in the building.
Go Blue!
I believe Werenski said he would actually attend the game. Most underrated factor in the CCM line's success, IMO.
No OSU home arena option would be full. This at least looks respectable.
uh yeah there was a whistle way before the goal, no?
tapped in way after the whistle....these announcers suck
I thought no goal.
quick whistle saves one there.
The call was that Michigan played the puck (accurate) and thus the play was blown dead. So not an improper whistle.
not that it needs to be said or put on the scoreboard or anything....

Argh, PP to OSU.
Wow, these announcers are out to lunch. Didn't catch the obvious whistle or the penalty for quite a while.
but very frustrating when we turtle and let them get set up. Better when we are more aggressive
Well, BTN doesn't actually send announcers to the arena, do they?
Yay, PK!
couldn't bury the bone
no offensive zone pressure right now, can't miss chances like that
Notre Dame 2, Penn State 2
ARGH, post!
good M possession
so close....
