Michigan Wolverines Hockey

[lineygoblue]

I've been to a few games, thanks to a good friend of ours here. Yost is one of a kind. A great place to watch a hockey game.

RE: Notre Dame Hockey: If they don't want to man up and join the Big Ten for football, they should at least join for Hockey.

F that, Lines! If they only want to join sports when/where it's convenient for them, then no thanks!

All or nothing.

[hodgkal]

Amen!

I agree with that, but if they stay independent, or go to a very weak conference, they'll have an easy ride to the NCAA's every year.

They need to face some real competition.

I completely missed this story in the football build-up. CCHA and WCHA are merging once the Big Ten schools leave. And several WCHA teams left to start a new conference, the NCHC, with Miami joining and probably Notre Dame too

Yes and we've also landed on the Moon.

#6 Michigan opened the season with a 5-0 shutout of Niagra at Yost Arena tonight.

There sure seems to be a lot of new names on the roster. This might be a rebuilding year.

Jon Merrill is out for 12 game for an undisclosed violation of team rules.

Has he been hanging with Hagerup?

Anyone watching tonight's game vs. msu at Munn Ice Arena? It's in OT, tied 3-3 between U of M and spartie...

[Rob F]

Televised on BTN, if you're wondering.

M won last night at Yost, 4-3, so trying for the weekend sweep. 1:15 to go in OT right now

[Rob F]

20 seconds to go...looks like it'll be going to a shoot-out

[Rob F]

"M" Hockey has been struggling so far this season, they started out the season pretty well, ranked in the top 5 starting the season, but right now are hovering around .500 overall, actually a game under .500 in the CCHA. I saw them lose to osu at Yost about 3 weeks ago (the night before the football home game vs. Nebraska)----and they looked to be without anyone willing to take charge offensively, especially on the power play. Red has also had to give a lot of playing time to freshmen, hopefully it'll pay off down the road.

[Rob F]

state just won it, winning the shootout 1-0. We didn't come close to scoring on the shootout...oh well
