End of the first. Alaska 1-0. Shots are 10-4 for Mich. Ugh...

Petovello with the goal at 18:45 for the Nanooks.

On the bright side, an Alaska goal gives me an excuse to link to this:

3-1 Alaska, Finucci on the powerplay at 4:41. Alaska's shooting percentage right now makes me want to find a cute, cuddly animal and punch it in the face.

End of the 2nd period, 3-2 Alaska. Shots are 23-12 for Michigan.

Alaska scored 2 goals on a 5 on 3 which has been the big difference so far, but Michigan seemed to get some momentum at the end of the period so we could be in for an exciting third.

"A lot of the season riding on this period" says UM assistant Mel Pearson.

Underway in the 3rd.

Alaska goalie Greenham is down with an apparent groin injury, being examined by the trainers. He will stay in the game.

12 minutes remaining, 3-2 Alaska.

Michigan getting a lot of penalties tonight (for those Michigan referee conspiracy theorists)...

3-3, Langlais with the goal for Michigan at 17:41. Huge, huge goal for the Wolverines.

Re: Alaska @ Michigan, 1/16/10

And that's it, 3-3, we're headed for overtime. First overtime for Michigan in almost 2 years!?

Big flurry for Michigan in the last minute but they couldn't quite get it done. If this game wasn't so massive I'd kind of be excited for the possibility of a shootout!
