#6 um Getting out shot 39-9 mid second period at home against #8 Osu and getting blasted 3-1. Team just stinks right now.

 

[biggunsbob]

Michigan trails 4-1. Typical game one of weekend series. Getting out played like they always do.
Committing penalty after penalty.

Make that 5-1. Team isn?t very good.
5-2 still way behind
6-2 just ridiculous giving up a short handed goal on a 5 minute major in
The last minute of the 2nd. Just terrible .

Wtf are these new coaches doing ?

Game almost over trail 7-2.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pretty embarrassing performance. Coach didn?t have his club ready. To much talent to be 12-7-1.
Totally dominated..
Out shot 52 to 21

Lost 7-2

Osu is 15-7-1
Um is 12-8-1

 

[biggunsbob]

Michigan bounces back in game two and wins 4-2. Still out shot 35-23 ish but at least they split the weekend series .

#8 Osu 15-8-1
#6 Um 13-8-1
After tonight

 

[biggunsbob]

Same old same old at Minnesota in the first period. Play them tough till last minute and commit a 5 minute major in which The Gophers a scored in 12 seconds.

Still well over 4 left in the major and um trails 1-0 after one. Michigan never seems to win game 1 of the weekends anymore and we never seem to beat Minnesota anymore.

Michigan kills the major with only giving up one goal. Still not much offense yet.

 

[biggunsbob]

Michigan challenging something. Not sure you use a timeout for a face off. What a waste of a timeout.,

Michigan losses it timeouts . Dumb.

 

[biggunsbob]

Finally a penalty on Minnesota. .. great save my um goaltender.

Michigan scores right after the power play.
Ties game 1-1

 

[biggunsbob]

Three goals in a minute.

Gophers 2-1
Michigan 2-2 2:37 left in 2nd.
Michigan 3-2 2:24 left in 2nd.

1:33 left in 2nd Michigan PP.

Um leads 3-2 after two. Wish the PP could get on track. Michigan needs a big lead against
The talented Gophers.

 

[biggunsbob]

Just like that Michigans commits a penalty with a slash l
Sigh.

Gophers PP all over Um.

Probably should have a goal. Real fast whistle saves us. I think.
Michigan player tripped not called.
Michigan giving up way to many odd man rushes.

Another PP for the Gophers. Under review for another major.
2 minutes for boarding. Michigan just can?t stay out of the box.
Killed 2nd PP.

 

[biggunsbob]

3-3 Not great goaltending on tying goal. It should been saved in my opinion.
Very frustrating how little offensive zone Michigan generates.
Oh we have trouble winning face offs too.

So frustrating it?s going to ot 3-3.
We had a goal whistled off. Then they call a penalty on us.lol.
Minnesota goalie never had the puck covered in my opinion.

There could have been 10 penalties called on each team in ot.
Such horses crap Gophers get last 3 or 4 pp. of the game.

Lost,4-3 in ot in last 10 seconds of ot.
Same old crap can?t beat Minnesota.

 

[biggunsbob]

Saturdays game
2-1 after one Michigan
4-3 after two Michigan
4-4. MInnesota ties it late with 2ish left.

Great pass from Hughes for the winner.

#7 Michigan finally breaks through Friday night and smokes #6 Psu 7-3 Final.
Michigan improves to 15-9-1 Teams play again Saturday.

 

[biggunsbob]

#7 Michigan sweeps #6 Psu with a 3 spot in the third period. Trailing 3-2 after two Psu scored early in the third to make it 4-2. At 3:05 mark.
Michigan scored the next three goals !
Hughes at 5:06
Duke at 7:58
Hughes at 9:15

Then locked it down I guess. Sadly I missed the game and forgot to dvr it .
Michigan improves to 16-9-1 on the season and 8-8 in conference.
