The Wolverines thumped Penn State twice last weekend and are the second seed in the Big Ten tournament.
The score may have been tied 1-1 midway through the first period, but once the Wolverines began to roll, there was never any doubt of the outcome in Yost Ice Arena tonight. Michigan defeated Penn State 6-1 in the final regular-season game of the season, completing a weekend sweep and securing a second-place finish in … Read more
EAST LANSING, Mich. — After tonight’s 6-5 win over Michigan State, Ohio State coach Steve Rohlik seemed a little bemused. “I keep saying it,” said Rohlik. “We can’t keep thinking we’re going to go running around and win 6-5 every night, but we scored enough to win.” But that’s precisely what Ohio State seems to … Read more

Two more leagues join the postseason this weekend, while the Big Ten plays its final weekend of the regular season.
What a wild weekend in the Big Ten. While other conferences were engaging in playoff hockey, B1G teams were playing their second-to-last weekend of regular-season play and showing us that nothing is predictable for this league this season. Congratulations to Ohio State for completing its first sweep of Michigan since 2011, and congrats to Wisconsin … Read more

After all, Ohio State had scored six against Michigan in an 8-6 loss Jan. 17. Friday night, the Buckeyes scored seven – six unanswered between the first and second periods – and … Read more
We are getting down to it. Last week, I was bitten by the wrong-way split in the Michigan-Minnesota series. Drew Claussen, however, was not. Last week Drew: 2-1-1 (.400) Paula: 1-2-0 (.400) Season Drew: 72-47-18 (.555) Paula: 73-46-18 (.599) This week Everyone plays in this penultimate week of the regular season.

The Gophers were overwhelmed last Thursday by Michigan but came back to claim an overtime win a day later and regain first place with two weekends remaining.

Quinnipiac and Michigan haven’t necessarily done things the easy way, but they’re still among the nation’s top teams.
With three weeks to go in a six-team league, maybe things are more fluid than they seemed just a few short weeks ago. With Minnesota idle and Michigan playing nonconference, Penn State couldn’t take advantage of the situation to completely close the gap with the second-place Wolverines, but the standings are a lot more interesting … Read more
