    Re: THE University of Michigan 2010-2011 Season Thread

    Noticed this in the NYTimes and it got me thinking about the scrambling to catch the play-off games from other regions.

    All 88 NCAA sports available online sounds good.

      Seriously, I have some heavy family connections to the U of Michigan, and have long cheered on the Wolvies in football. I was a kid in the '70s when Mike Lantry's leg taught me the horrors of having a Michigan passion, a Michigan pain I felt for years until it was eased in 1997-1998, when I was in the Rose Bowl that afternoon when M erased the pain with a perfect football season..

      Little did I know how Michigan would inflict new, far more horrible pain in beating my own school in hockey. Those DU NCAA hockey losses to the Wolverines still haunt me far worse then Mike Lantry ever did. DU went up 3-0 in 99 in Worcester, and then Berenson calls a timeout, and suddenly it's 5-3 Michigan. Season over. Then, the 2002 meltdown game at Yost, our NCAA reward for being a top seed that year. I still see Jed Ortmeyer crushing our top ranked team and ruining a great DU season...

      Both games still grind me at the core of my soul...
      Sorry Swami, but I'm with the Michigan hockey fans on this one.
      Seeing Ortmeyer's huge smile while he was in the net after following his goal in there is one of my favorite memories.

      That reminds me, I have some Posters game pictures I should upload somewhere so others can view/take what they want. It's only 5 1/2 months later at this point, maybe I'll get to it in a few months.

        Get ready for a change this season. In an effort to standardize play, every single CCHA game will have the three TV timeouts inserted per period, whether the game is televised or not. There is a news release to this effect on the CCHA web page. Apparently, the WCHA also has this rule.

        I remember the days of the NHL having seven 30-second breaks per period--they were pretty much seamless if you were at the game and even if you were watching on TV. In the early '90s or so, they went to three 75-second breaks, which are not seamless at all. I would certainly support going back to the shorter breaks, but for some reason the TV people don't like it. It's not an increase in the number of commercials--that stayed pretty much the same.

        The same issue is true in football--an average half of football has almost enough natural break time (timeouts, changes of possession, scoring plays, etc.) to fit in all of the commercial time the networks use, but instead the networks concentrate the commercials into just a handful of the natural breaks.

        "The game of hockey, though much in vogue on the ice in New England and other parts of the United States, is not much known here."

          Makes a big difference in the coaching of the game as well. Teams can roll two lines far more often.

          In the last half of the third period coaches can use their timeout to play their top line almost constantly.

          All this led to lower scoring in the WCHA IMO.

            What's the word on Wolverine hockey? Contender this year for the F4? I saw Hagelin on the Hobey watch but I haven't gotten to see him play, could someone talk to the UM AD and schedule a game with UND one of these years? I like this thread, I haven't seen Happy on here once and it has lead to a lack of dooosh baggery

              Yeah you should do that

              The Yost facebook page keeps posting open skates times on my live feed. I loved playing in your old school barn. Good luck Blue!

                Also, I figured you guys might appreciate this little snag I made the other day:

                  Quick question about the season tickets-

                  Did anyone notice that we have TWO GAMES THIS WEEKEND?!?!?!?!?

                  Wow, that came fast.

                  Hope to see you all there.

                    Yes I did notice! I also noticed that we have a D1 game before the exhibition game. I feel like I saw Mercyhurst play in our first weekend last year. They didn't look so great against the Alaska schools then.

                          very good article reminding us of a few things we might have forgot since March and one very significant thing making this year different from the previous 15 or so.

                                Nice video man, especially the first 90 seconds of highlights . I'm sure we can expect some more great competitive games between our two schools again this season. And man, Linkin Park definitely sucks now.
