I can't believe with the kind of talent that UM has, their skaters came away with their first wins at Munn? Incredible... but good for the Wolverines. It was fun when you came to Boston too.. :-)

In any case, I'm glad to hear you guys were louder than the State fans at the arena. BU fans did the same thing last week when we went to BC. Of course, their fan base did have some football game or something they lost in the morning...

Good post!

Yes, even on USCHO there was chatter in the Sparty thread about how "loud" their student fans were for this game... did go on to point out the idiot fans dressed in maize pjs being stupid and mocking their cheers.

Also, chatter in the game thread about how bad the officiating was and that this was the primary reason the spartys lost. Not that they suck or anything...

One last commentary... I have been pretty vocal on USCHO about how Anastos has really screwed up with this shootout thing. For instance: UNO and UA tied twice this weekend and both won shootouts. Three points each. How friggin bogus is that? Each team gains valuable points on this artificial way of instilling conference parity. What if a team like ours loses first round home ice because either one of these jockstraps play for ties and goes for the wins in a shootout? We had our crack at UA and I think they are a decent team, and I know we'll have our shot at UNO at Yost, but man, this just isn't right. If you want to award an extra point, make a team earn in in OT, no matter how long it takes.

We'd be in 4th place under the old point system.

Absolutely crap IMO.

I had written a paragraph about how impressed I was with how loud the Goal Count cheers were on TV, then I deleted it to reword and got distracted by a bright shiny object (or something) and forgot to rewrite it. You guys were awesome!

The Red Cedar Message Board over at SpartanTailgate.com is pretty pissed that Michigan fans showed up in decent numbers and made more noise than any visiting foe in years. I just loved how reactionary the students cheers became once we took the 2-1 lead. They seemed pretty dumbfounded that we had the audacity to make noise in their rink.

That was a fun, fun trip up to Munn. Many kudos to the row of guys near the top of Section F, the Dekers, and everyone else who showed up with voices. Job well done... and what a helluva way to win the game :)
