Michigan Wolverines: 2012-2013 Season thread!!!!!!!

Re: Michigan Wolverines: 2012-2013 Season thread!!!!!!!

So last night on the Red show, Hunwick was talking about maybe playing in Europe. Tonight he's suiting up for Columbus (as back-up). Sounds like their starter got hurt in practice, so back-up is starting and Hunwick signed an ameteur tryout contract and will dress tonight.

Congrats to Hunwick, even if it is Ohio and sitting on the bench. We all know where he got to from sitting on the bench at UM.

I saw the last Red Wing v Blue Jacket game, 7-2 Detroit. I would say his chances of getting in are 50/50. If he does get in, I hope he doesn't embarass the Blue Jackets too much by shutting down Datsyuk and Zetterberg.;)

edit: Abdelkader and Miller would be ok though!

Interestingly enough, he will be backing up one of the goalies he faced in the 2009-10 season's GLI, Allen York. http://www.bluejacketsxtra.com/content/blogs/puck-rakers/2012/03/mason-out-hunwick-in.html

I'm in awe of what Shawn has done. This shouldn't be a surprise to me after following him for the past three years but wow. This better get him invited to the Hobey Hat-Trick next weekend, and BTW, when is that announced?

I just thought of a new slogan for UM:

"Shawn Hunwick is The Michigan Difference."
 
Re: Michigan Wolverines: 2012-2013 Season thread!!!!!!!

Odds are he may start tonight, at least that's the speculation on the radio here in Columbus. I wish him luck but boy, talk about a baptism by fire! Who would want to go against the mighty Red Wings? Don't get me wrong as I have a great deal of respect for Shawn and wish him the best but even veteran goalies would have the hardest of times against Datsyuk and others when your defense is a sieve and lets them come at you unopposed!
The game is on NBC Sports, the old VS channel at 7:30

Just too funny that the Jackets didn't have a mask for Shawn and he's in Columbus wearing his Michigan one!

It's announced tomorrow

Sorry he didn't get playing time and sorry my Red Wings lost but to be in the locker room after a win against the Wings should be a great experience for Shawn, plus I'm sure they gave him at least enough for gas money for his efffort. lol!

Said nothing about Hunwick winning the Hobey, I'll be happy if he is merely invited to The Hobey Hat Trick. Granted, what a story it would make if he actually won but he's already a finalist (Top 10). The kid is so humble that everything else is just gravy...

Ryan Miller who?

That's awsome! The Jackets season ends April 7th and if I were Mason I wouldn't be in any hurry to get back in the lineup so hopefully Shawn gets some net time. It could make a big difference in him getting just a taste of the Show and having a legitimate shot a an NHL team whether with Columbus or elsewhere. I hope he keeps the headgear while he's here, I'm sure most Michigan fans feel it brings a touch of class to the heart of Buckeye country. LOL!

York played really well thanks to the pressure the back up goalie presented him..... ;)

That, and the fact that Conklin was visibly shaken knowing that if Hunwick did get to play everyone would find out how much better Hunwick is compared to him.;)
