~~2017-18 Big Ten Hockey Thread~~

Week 12

Exhibition: Michigan St defeats Under 18 

No other Big Ten games this week or next. 

[ELA]

So the GLI is apparently now played January 1 and 2?  And since MSU and UM suck, and both lost, they'll meet on a Tuesday afternoon in a consolation game at 2:30 when most people are at work?  I remember when the GLI was a major event.

College hockey in Michigan just thriving.

Schedule conflicts push Great Lakes Invitational to New Year's Day

https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/2017/12/31/college-hockey-great-lakes-invitational/993334001/

It's not ideal, but the Great Lakes Invitational will be played later than normal. As a result, it will be held twice at Little Caesars Arena in 2018.
The 53rd GLI, which begins Monday, was pushed from its normal spot in the Detroit sports calendar due to scheduling issues with LCA's main attractions, the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Pistons.

UW had a lot to play for today. Lost one of their best ambassadors this morning.


Jim was a Badger from 1982-86 and a part of the 1983 NCAA championship team.

We lost a true friend in Jim Johannson today.

He was so compassionate and as loyal a friend as you could have. He was the ultimate teammate.

MSU played not horribly, but gave up the go ahead goal in the waning minutes of tie games both nights.

Next step for Cole is finding those inches.  Still not convinced the conference is any good.  Minnesota looked bad too.
