Neither team is lighting it up as far as wins go the last couple of weeks. Ohio state did win last night at home and earn a split against the spartans and michgian got swept at miami. You know that Michigan will flying at home coming off being swept. This series is important to both teams for different reasons. For Michgian they need to get back on track if they want to win the league title and losing a game at home to the bucks could be costly. For Ohio state its improtant to try and move up in the standings and get home ice in the first round and maybe even set themsleves up for a 5th place finish and first round bye.

I would love to see Michigan come out flying on Friday, but UM still has a dismal record in the Friday night tilts. Of course, they have lost the last two Saturdays in a row.
How is OSU this year. I was never impressed with the disipline level that Markell's teams would display. It always seemed that there was a lot of after the whistle dust-ups under him. It could be attributed to the rival factor.
It should be noted that Michigan is not blameless in this, I am just saying that when UM and OSU met, there were a lot of extras.Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

As far as this weekend- Michigan fans are apprehensive about what effects a three game slide will cause. The team has shown the propensity for bouncing back from less than stellar efforts- but this type of slide, coming off of a 9-1 run, is perplexing. Miami is a good team, shut down our offense pretty much and exploited our special teams and any type of defensive mistake we made. Cue the standard "we got screwed by officials" theme in Oxford, too.
Berenson is mixing the lines up at practice this week hoping to find some offense. Hogan apparently is healthy enough to return, but Hunwick's play is keeping him on the bench. Defensive play from both the blue liners and the forwards has to improve, even though OSU is not Miami. They did do something that Michigan didn't do- sweep a top opponent. I am cautious that Michigan will be better focused and aim to execute better, but I won't be surprised if these teams split again.

Re: Ohio State at Michigan feb 11 and 12
The coffee bar is gone? Man that stinks! I got a really neat souvenier cup there once that had those reflective scenes that changed when you changed the angle. My wife immediately stole it from me as since she was born in Detroit she thinks any Michigan stuff I come by is automatically hers. lol! I certainly won't make any predictions on the games, both teams are capable of winning depending of course on which team shows up, the one that plays great or the one that's slumping but the edge has to go to UM playing in their house. Ohio State at least this time has the benefit of Oz having played Michigan already so he's not going into this weekend not certain how he's going to match up as has been the case before being new to the conference.Last edited by Hockeybuckeye; 02-09-2011, 10:14 PM.

Also, on Saturday, there is a men's b-ball game at 4:00, so parking at Cridler might be sketchy.Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

Originally posted by bluevox View PostIt has only gotten worse. Most of the lot between the track/IM building is now blocked off for the high rollers in the suites. They won't even let you go to the lot between Schembechler and Yost, as it is reserved for handicapped parking (aside from the fact that they won't let my mother, who has a handicap hang tag, down there half the time.)
