Michigan Hockey 22-23, new coach, new players, new era

[MichVandal]

Two good periods, one really, really bad one- and then the OT winner. Lots to learn, still for this team apparently.

Notre Dame this weekend in South Bend. Notre Dame is 4-4-2 so far this season, but 4-0-1 at home. We've had a common opponent with Notre Dame having a home and home with Western the week before our home and home. In theirs they split with each team winning at home, we eeked out 2 wins with an OT winner in Kalamazoo.

Jeff Jackson defenses always seem to thwart our offenses. Could be good games. Hoping for the best, but expecting a split.

I'm a little surprised you guys don't ask me to post more often. Otherwise you may as well just text each other.

Nice to have this game not on BTN+, since peacock is included in comcast subscription.

Good solid win. Even with the Irish trying to intimidate our team. Didn't work out too well for them.

Sharp passing, lots of pressure, creativity, etc- still some sloppy D zone play, but at least it was just one PP goal against.

[MichVandal]

Certainly had our chances to get another goal, but darn it- they couldn't. 4 out of 6 points isn't bad, but still a lot to learn. It almost looks that the younger kind of run out of steam for the second game.

3 points. OT loss counts as a loss. The 1 and 2 points are for shootout loss and win.


Minnesota this week. Games are at 6:30 on Thursday and 6 on Friday. Stupid tv times, stupid schedulers that think we can't have home football and hockey on the same day (noon game leaves plenty of time for hockey, just make football commit to noon)

They were explaining on TV that getting to OT gave the loser team a point. So I thought there was a change. Odd they brought that up like that.

They did say that on TV and it is the point system. 3 points for a regulation win, 2 points for an OT or shootout win, 1 point for an OT or shootout loss. https://bigten.org/sports/2021/11/8/...108211414.aspx

Thanks for the correction. I got confused looking at conference record showing 2-2-0 (and not looking further than that).

[MichVandal]

Hopefully, everyone got the alerts to the early games tonight and tomorrow- 6:30 tonight, 6 tomorrow. May miss tonight's game to a conflict but should be there tomorrow.

Just saw a kind of alarming news report that D-man Steve Holtz is in the ICU battling a virus. The same virus that held Portillo out a few weeks ago, and apparently this is running through the team. Along with Holtz, apparently many players are going to be out this weekend.

Yikes.

That was a penalty I've never seen before to start the 3rd. And it went downhill from there.

Great effort from the boys in a horrible situation. Up against a powerhouse team with a severely depleted lineup. But they played hard. Proud of them.

Props to the current coaching staff and players for playing the game.
