No, all the jerseys are the same size

 For the record: anyone who watched the MSU(ck) players stay on the ice much longer than usual should note that this was an obvious jab at the Faithful and the Big Red players. I'd be interested to know if they did this when they tied Michigan at Yost last weekend. Just some food for thought. Here's to getting back in the win column next weekend!

Let's Go Red![/q]

Just FYI, I was at the game last weekend at Yost and MSU did not act like jackasses and refuse to get off the ice.  They gave a moving stick salute.  Clearly tonight's actions were directed to piss off the crowd.

Excuse me?  Did you see the Michigan-MSU game?  If you did, your analysis is clearly based exclusively on shots on goal.  I actually was in attendance at that game and let me tell you, Michigan did not "get dominated by MSU."  MSU took a boatload of garbage shots from the blueline, none of which were good and did not cycle the puck.  MSU also let in two powerplay goals and failed to score on all of their powerplays including a 5X3 that lasted for 1:45 followed by 3:15 of 5X4.  Their PP was just plain awful and Vicari was the reason that they came out with a tie.  Overall, both teams had a lot of solid scoring chances due to  sloppy turnovers but neither team really capitalized on them.

That said.  I'm looking for a good series this weekend, should be an interesting one.

I went to Yost this weekend for the Michigan-MSU game and it is just a totally different atmosphere than Lynah.  It is an old building with a lot of history but they put millions of dollars into renovations and  it has somewhat of a corporate feel to it.  A lot of big corporate sponsors and what not just littering the place with advertisements.  Also, the place seems to be more of a family environment.  There are tons of familes there and the student section, although vocal is not that large.  The townies are pretty into the cheers though, I gotta give them credit for that.  Their chants are not exactly the same as ours but are variations.  Its hard for me to make a judgment about which one is louder or tougher to play at because I am biased but I'd say Lynah.  The aucoustics at Lynah with the low roof just make the place really loud and hostile.  Also, I'm not such a big fan of their band... its alumni and they dont really lead any cheers. ( it may have been alumni just for this weekend?)

Yeah, Michigan's tickets are sold out.  They do a season ticket deal and have a lottery system and waiting list.  Any other info would be much appreciated.

Hey guys,

I am going to be taking a roadtrip to Michigan State this weekend (a little bummed about missing the US-18 Exhibition) and I am going to take a side trip to Yost Ice Arena to see the Michigan vs. Michigan State game.  I have tickets through MSU's Fan Group but a friend does not.  Have any of you guys made the trek out to Yost?  Is it particularly hard or easy to scalp?  How expensive are the tickets?  Any recommendations about the visit?  I'm eager to see how Yost stacks up to Lynah seeing as though they have borrowed many of our traditions.

Just to refresh my memory, where were the line numbers distributed last year?  I never made it all the way there because I was on crutches at the time.  I started crutching from North and I made it halfway across the bridge to Central when I got a call from a friend who said that he had gotten a line number for me.

Yeah, I was at the game too.  I can attest the Iggulden did fight.   Iggy got the crap knocked out of him but what do you expect?  He hasn't exactly been practicing for that during his time here.

The fact that he was on the PP and not at all on the SH for the Amerks was mildly amusing.  I ran into McCutcheon at the game and when i mentioned the PP he chuckled a bit too.  Kinda odd placement.

Paolini took a nice penalty too.

We just need to make sure he stays in the top ten so that the real voters have a chance to vote for him.

Seriously, if you are voting... just keep pressing F5 and clicking retry.  I just moved Dryden up by like 2% in less than 2 minutes.  Pretty sad.

Does anyone know if actual people from PSP usually go to the games or are they students that stand in the lobby and try to sell Cornel hockey gear?

Any idea if the puck marks/ stick wax is able to be removed?
Also, if anyone has ever gotten the nameplates from PSP... how long does it usually take?
