Michigan Hockey 2020-2021 Yost town feels like a ghost town

I streamed it and I've got to say I've NEVER seen such a blatantly bad call ever go Ohio State's way at Yost before. Our guy was clearly a foot and a half across the blue line with both skates on the entry ahead of the puck and Michigan lost the challenge on the goal? Unbelievable! You guys got the win regardless by pushing harder and faster to the net than we were. Congrats on the win, I hope we even it up though.

Congrats on the sweep, you guys looked pretty good last weekend. I of course had to take my lumps for it from my relatives living in Michigan but that's OK, I give it back to them double every November! ;) ;)

Let's hope we can follow it up with another win tonight! I don't want a repeat of the Sparty series where I wished we could rollover goals from the first night.

Definitely a huge difference from the series at Yost vs. Notre Dame. Good to see Portillo get another win. Are we going to see the goalies splitting series from here on out?

Also, I had typed "splitting weekends" but remembered the next few games are not weekends and that scheduling is dumb.

I was wondering about the goalie situation, too. DW hates the idea of swapping goalies- let one get hot and ride them. But I'm wondering if the compressed schedule has put a burden on the only players that never gets to sit down that they can't deal with, yet. Seeing how Mann played last weekend, it's possible that this has lifted a burden to the point that his focus has gotten back on track... we will see tonight.

But I fully expect them to swap from here out.
 
Much more tense game- most of it being 1-1. Mann looked like he was fighting with the puck sometimes- but the one goal was a nice tip in.

But getting another sweep was pretty handy. Especially with Wisconsin losing- puts us in 2nd.
 
Road sweeps are always special, especially one in South Bend. Team is on a roll. Getting Van Whye and Summers back will help the depth. Anyone know anything about Dakota?
By the way, was the color commentator tonight getting paid by the word?
 
Apparently this was not mandated by the school or conference but under Michigan's insane governor's directives through the health dept.

Given the progress in this state WRT Covid infections and deaths, I would not characterize our governor nor the directives as insane.

"Patient Zero" is an athlete who traveled to the UK and back, and the contact tracing prompted this- as well as a directive that if you were in some stores in the area during a specific time- you get tested ASAP.

Sorry but she IS a nut job and if she was in the right Michigan's Supreme Court wouldn't have ruled against her. The vast majority of my family lives in Michigan and I know of many businesses I solicit there who have been devastated by her and who may not recover.
You can rebuttal all you like about safety and saving lives but you will have those who agree with you and there will be those who agree with me. We have covid topics on forum here so I'm not going any further with this but the protocols the university has are adequate for student safety, they shouldn't have been forced to cancel EVERYTHING!

ok, but if there was a better response from the government who could afford it, the shut downs would have been compensated for- and we would have had a win-win for everyone. Instead, we are all forced to go on our own, with almost no resources. Having seen the response to no shut down, I far prefer what we have. BTW, the MI Supreme Court judgement was that the emergency power time ran out, not that they were invalid. Which is why they were in place for an additional 21 days post judgement.

In terms of the athletics shutting down- it's a game. They all get to go to school on their scholarships, earn their degrees, and the good ones have been noted enough that they will still go pro. Missing two weeks isn't going to be a big deal. Heck, given the total lack of income from ticket sales, this saves money.
