Ooh, interference penalty. I thought it was just a faceoff violation at first. Let's see how the UMD powerpla-

HOLY SHIT UMICH 17???

3-0???

HELLUVA FORECHECK. SCHIFSKY.

This game looks as lopsided as the Michigan hoops game earlier today

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

The "Screw BU" song turns into "Let's Go Blue".

Actually that's probably the original version.  I believe BU then adopted it as "Go BU", to which we responded "Screw BU".  Although, TBH, the BU version may have come first and Michigan adopted it.

We added the "XXX, too" at the ECAC tournament at the Boston Garden in 1981.

Nice keep there by UMD 8.

The Q fans next to me, today in Kraken jerseys: "I feel better about yesterday now."

I like the UMich band. I don't like that they use the cowbell every 10 seconds.

Horcoff to the box.

Wow what a whiff by UMD 8.

What I love about this UMD powerplay (take notes, Big Red) is that THEY JUST SHOOT THE PUCK. They don't wait for the "perfect" shot, they just get it on net.

UMD 5 crunched Mich 9, wow.

End 1. 3-0 UMich. Hill to climb for the Bulldogs.

I have no idea about the history lol, I just know it as the Screw BU song.

(My BU friend, referring to this chant: You're obsessed with us for some reason and we don't even think about you more than every other year.)

Looks like Robertson with the assist. Actually he was credited with the goal

Two goals in two days for Robo??

They amended the box score.

[stereax]

Max Plante how do you miss that???

Damn nice Gajan save.

Nice jump, Hage. He's playing too.

Beautiful UMD entry and another choke. And again.

Oh, hey, Kovich and Robertson next to each other.

Again, JUST wide from UMD.

Max Plante for the hold, I guess.

...Y'know, watching this, it kinda just looks - like a lot of fun to play hockey. I don't even think I could stay upright on skates, lol, I suck at sports. And I'm too old besides. (Yes, I know realistically I'm not too old to pick it up for a beer league kind of thing, but I'm one year out of a law degree. Some things are just mutually incompatible.) Plus, I do enjoy having my teeth and bones intact, lol.

Sorry. Too deep again. Mich is on the powerplay. Didn't do much with it though.

Ooh, close one by UMD.

I can't tell whether I think the stripey UMich helmets are really sick or really dumb.

UMich 22 off the IRON.

DAMN, nice block by UMich 10 there.

One more of these stupid dance cams and I swear...

Holiday by Green Day! Thanks, UMich band.

Holy Ivankovic. Shutting the DOOR today. UMD just can't buy one.

"Fuck you, ref! Blow the whistle!" Both coaches are ANGRY. They're redoing the faceoff after like 10 seconds???

Well that's a penalty. UMich 17, 2 for crosschecking.

Yeah, UMD can't buy a goal.

Jesus.

3-0 UMich, end 2.

So one of the things I learned recently was that the last song in the Cornell warmup mix is Separate Ways, by Journey.

Turns out I really like that song.

And the UMich band is doing it right now during intermission!

[stereax]

HUGE groan from the crowd.

Apparently Duke turned the ball over and UConn scored a buzzer beater to win the basketball game.

Apparently everyone was watching this.

[stereax]

Begin third.

AND HEY, UMD SHOWS LIFE. 19. 3-1! Five hole, pretty sure. Nope, just too far to the left for his pad. That's how you start a period.

[stereax]

Perron just tucks it. 4-1 UMich. Ow.

[arugula]

HUGE groan from the crowd.

Apparently Duke turned the ball over and UConn scored a buzzer beater to win the basketball game.

Apparently everyone was watching this.

This news was a ray of sunshine on a very cloudy weekend. 

[stereax]

UMD 5 lays huge hits. One on UMich 6. Another atempt on UMich 33.

Another Robertson assist. I might be his lucky charm?

Lmao the UMich band doing their sieve chant absolutely drowned out by the pumped in music. Boo.

Wii Bowling, hockey edition.

UMD 6 loses an edge hardstyle. 5 breaks a stick but their equipment manager is quick on the draw. He looks like a student.

Man, UMD just looks done. There goes 24 down the tunnel too.

Holy takedown at the net. Mich gows off for a hold.

4-2! #2, Hanson, their dman.

[stereax]

The place is rocking. Random UMD glove on the ice. Man that was close. UMD woke up. Finally.

So close.

Damn, was that idiot ballet or just a 2-on-1 collision?

24!!! 4-3!!! We have a game!!!

[stereax]

Challenge for... what exactly?
