Michigan Hockey 2019-2020- a big fresh start, again.

Hard earned win tonight! Team has taken 11 of 12 possible points in two tough road series. Can we start believing yet?

They are really putting the puck in the net now! Gained 4 points on PSU and 2 on OSU. Two points from 4th and still a long way from the top. But if we can get more weekends like that, that could change quite quickly.
 
Re: Michigan Hockey 2019-2020- a big fresh start, again.

11 goals scored this weekend. I love it.

Has this team turned a corner? Or is this a fluke?

Hubby and I watched most of the games. They looked good. Penn State did not look like a #6 in the country team.

You know something is wrong when you start paying attention to the other team.... Dang they are good.
 
Re: Michigan Hockey 2019-2020- a big fresh start, again.

Well you need the points, we need the points who wants it more this weekend?
We'd be handing them all to you if we play like last weekend.

I think we're also in the boat of not sure which team will show up. Could make for an interesting weekend.

Are you making the trip to Yost this year? We may be bringing the parasite to Friday's game.

Based on our play 2 and 3 weeks ago, one would suggest that it will be a lot of good hockey.

Based on last week, it will be an easy sweep, and not for us.

I'll be there Saturday with some of the Michigan clan, my cousin and his wife from Northville. Somebody will get to needle the other depending on who wins.
I hope you can make the Satuday game with the parasite. I'd love to see how big the little cutie is since last years games.
 
Re: Michigan Hockey 2019-2020- a big fresh start, again.

That was a heck of a hockey game.

Congrats on the win. I can't put my finger on it why Ohio state seems so out of sync the past few games but it sure give opportunities and your guys didn't hesitate to capitalize.
I'll be there tonight so I'll either bring them luck or jinx them worse - no promises on which!

For this game, it would be interesting to really look how out of sync you were vs. Michigan playing different- two weeks ago, I caught the last 10 min of the UM-Notre Dame game, and it was interesting how Notre Dame looked totally ineffective. This being one of the top teams in the country, but the kind of pressure our team was applying just made it tough.

Especially when you see how effective your PP was last night. So it's not as if the team was out all night- just when it was 5 on 5.
 
Re: Michigan Hockey 2019-2020- a big fresh start, again.

Totally opposite game tonight- they were better and we were just not all there.
 
Re: Michigan Hockey 2019-2020- a big fresh start, again.

I have to say from my vantage point I was very surprised they called that second major and ejection. It doesn't help when you have to adjust lines minus 2 players.
My thrill of the win was kind of cut short today when driving back past Ann Arbor on 23 a car in front of me threw up a stone and cracked my windshield so Michigan got her pound of flesh from me!
But I will say it was nice seeing Wolverine Trumpet and being shown current pictures of the little parasite or should I say big parasite. She was precious!
And Alfa, a pleasure to finally meet you and if you get down here for a game or when I come up next season I'll treat you to a beer somewhere before the game like I did that time for WT and hear more of your perspective on your program in person.

It was great to meet you too!! Kind of unlikely that we will come down to Columbus for a game- it's been a couple of decades since we saw an away game- it was at Kent State, after Idaho got beat by Youngstown St- so we were already on our way back to AA.

It was nice seeing you again. Sorry our lovely Michigan roads took their toll on your car.

It was an interesting series. Michigan looked strong Friday night, and despite the score Saturday (getting down 2 early is never good) I think they played well. It's tough spend half a period down a man. Not proud of the penalties, but proud of the guys on the ice that killed off two 5 minute majors. That's some grit that I don't think we saw from this team the first half of the season.
 
Re: Michigan Hockey 2019-2020- a big fresh start, again.

I saw Beecher suspended this Friday by the conference as an additional punishment for the head butt.
How much of a detriment will that be for you?

Well if you want to get together next season for a beer before the game let me know. Maybe WT & her hubby will want to join us if we do.
And if you ever come down here for a game you'll be well treated. We don't get the drunken rude & crude crowd that football does, we treat opposing hockey fans respectfully.

Lies! I've had something thrown at me in all the D1 rinks in Ohio. Ok, fine, at the Schott I think it was popcorn (or a straw wrapper, can't remember which was Miami and which was OSU). So, yes, the hockey crowd is nicer than the crowd at the horseshoe where I had batteries thrown at me and I was spit at.

Actually, I've found hockey trips enjoyable everywhere I've gone and almost always find friendly, knowledgeable fans to have a conversation with.



Anyway,
Wisconsin tonight. We sold our tickets because husband doesn't get home from work until 6:30. 6 pm weekday game is dumb. Having the promotion be 'fan choice night' is even more dumb. Pretty sure a lot of fans would choose a different start time.

We need a sweep this weekend. Wisconsin is not good. I think they are more not good than us.

Had to look up what "fan choice night" is. Not being on any social media, I can't even reply.

I did hear from a birdie that tonight "fan of the game" is another poster here. Not us- we were last Friday.

Hey, I'm not vouching for the football crowd. There's better ways to go through life than rude, crude and drunk!
I did see the last time I was walking to The Game an OSU student grab the M hat off an elderly gentleman's head and run off with it. If I could have caught the little SOB he would have learned a pretty hard life lesson!

Anyways, good luck tonight against the Badgers!
