IT’S GREAT! TO BE! A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE!! Great game, Gophers. Y’all left it all out there and did everything you could. That goal by Pitlick was incredible. Much respect from this Michigan fan.
it was a good game, felt like the gophers stopped skating. is it just me, or did everyone forget what offsides is? coming from a gopher fan, that goal wasn't even close to offsides, no one had control when the puck entered the zone, and no one touched the puck till everyone was out of the zone. i'm so confused by these announcers, and all the people saying we were robbed. it was clearly on sides.
@Caleb Meyers Thank you for actually having a brain. It was a good hard game nothing more nothing less, and I didn't mind the officiating minus the play where someone flopped and drew a PK but we killed it anyway.
I had not washed the Michigan hockey game all year for some reason I don't think they were televised here and I don't have cable. Borrowed a buddies UA-cam TV app and it got to watch them beat Minnesota. 🎉🎉🎉
@@Mngriddy bruh Michigan literally was the better offensive team all game, and if ur trying to refer to the net moving, literally watch it, Portillo barely touched it. Not on him
NHL rinks aren't (or weren't) even standardized. Boston Garden and Chicago Stadium (before United Center) were notoriously UNDERsized. They've been replaced so probably now all rinks are the same size. The Olympic sized rink idea in MN was a holdover from the Mariucci/Brooks era, when they thought the extra surface area allowed them to outskate their opponents. Then, the opponents got better and it didn't matter anymore. Glad to hear they are getting back to standard size but I do like the additional area behind the goals.
@@WJGoodman that's a good point I don't mind the slightly longer rink but olympic is just too wide. if you've ever played on one its so weird and kind of easy to get lost out there lol
Good to see two actual college hockey teams playing as opposed to teams stocked with 25+ year old men pretending to be students and gaming the system while the PTB look the other way.
Pretty much all fans are unmitigated, ignorant fools...who know virtually nothing about the games they are so passionate about. Yeah, so full-blown, pathological cognitive dissonance. Michigan fans...Minnesota fans...Ohio State fans-all the same.
Go Blue! Gopher fans: what a great fan base. Be gracious and humble in defeat. I see so many complaining about offsides, this or that. (Hint: you can be onside if all three guys are out AND don’t have possession. Ben Clymer was utterly confused last night.) Have dignity because, like Michigan, the only two programs to play uninterrupted for 100 years. The response to this game should reflect that pride.
@@raimoxd3060 , personally I don’t think a championship game should be played at either teams ice it should be played at a neutral site so there’s no home advantage.
@@TWTexasA1 They used to do that but the arenas would be nearly empty so thats why its on the higher seed ice now which actually makes it more entertaining.
Yall need to stop crying abt this. First of all this was a problem with YOUR goalposts. Second of all even if it hadnt happened Porillo still blocked the shot that would have gone in becuase everyone kept playing. Please just stop whining about it. In my estimation we will see you guys again in the natty anyway.
You have to admit that 4 times is a little fishy (at both ends) and the Gopher Goalie (who plays on the same sheet of ice all year has maybe knocked the net off 3 times all year). So…it is definitely warranted.
@@lpnovi2409 Your goalie has a history of knocking the net off its moorings anytime the action ramps up around the net. Hopefully the rules regarding that will change as a result, it's basically cheating.
@@OzzyMoto2K10 I was reading up on it and it has to do with that Minnesota's Posts are thinner than what most people use. In terms of why Portillo kept doing it: First of all, dude is way bigger than Close(close is 5'10 and Portillo is 6'6), and secondly Close would be more accustomed to the way the goals are. I probably would be mad too if I was on the other side of this, but there is no way that this was any kind of cheating.
@@JaxonSmithers Bro is 6'6. The reason they come off and aren't fixed is for safety reasons. If they changed the rules then everyone would want short goalies which makes no sense.
IT’S GREAT! TO BE! A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE!!

what a terrible deflection on minnesota's 2nd goal that led to what was essentially a breakaway. way to overcome though. go fn blue!

It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverines

Lot of NMU fans took our L last night without complaints. We lost in worse fashion than Minnesota did
Go Blue! Jets are going to love Rutger McGroarty.
Penguins now lol
Go Blue. I played dorm hockey at Michigan a long time ago. We took the ice around 10:00PM. Nothing but shin pads and a cup. Loved it.
Both team may see each other again in the NCAA Championship!
North Dakota is no longer the Alabama of college hockey. These two teams are stacked. Pitlick, OMG!
ND never was 😂. Michigan and Denver are
As a NMU fan, Mankato is the bama of our conference
@@IAmAMeateater could make the argument that Minnesota is too
@@YooperHatesOhioState they have less than half the champions, so no
Congratulations 🎉GoBlue....
michigan was offsides 100%. it was a good game until the refs got involved as usual
Woot woot, go blue!
Great win for Michigan especially on Minnesota’s home ice…that crowd went silent real quick 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
but still it is better to win on your own home ice :) lets goo michigan!!!
Back to back years Michigan wins it in Minnesota

Is Luke Hughes a liability on Defense for Michigan? When I watch the highlights I see him turn the puck over and get scored on a lot
He is +24 on the season, only second to Fantilli, so, no...
Gophers down I like it
GO MICHIGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Blue Baby!!!
Go Blue!
That dude @ 3:30 getting owned, wow! Good game though!
He was literally in a coma and just came back. You shouldn’t say that. Also lost muscle memory for skating.

Back to back big ten champs in hockey and football the two best team sports in the entire world! Hail yea 〽️💪🏽
Any time the goalie feels like he might give up a goal he should be allowed to just kick the net off the pegs.🙄

Rutger McGroarty is a unit, can’t wait to see him in a Jets uni in a few years 👏
Rutger has always been a weak skater and will be a bender in the pros
What a comeback.
