As you know College Crosse is secretly a hockey blog. Don’t believe me? You must have missed our WONDERFUL recent podcast “COLLEGE CROSSECAST: We're Secretly a Hockey Blog And This Podcast Episode Proves It.” (Ed. Note: Fans of the #FireEriBarrister movement will be happy to know that I was not on that podcast.)
Given our secret double-blog life, it’s really great when hockey & lacrosse crossover, as that gives us cover with the higher ups. Like when Michigan 247 posted an article about former Michigan Hockey great, Mike Legg, hitting a lacrosse-style shot from the opposite blue line, you KNEW we were going to flag it.
It all happened last night during the second intermission of the Wolverines 4-3 win over Michigan Tech when Legg and two other members of the 1996 team were honored on the ice. All three played in the "intermission game ‘Score-O,’ in which contestants try to score in a foot-wide slot in a goal cover.” The former players took the challenge up a notch and actually shot from the opposite blue line instead of just center ice.
All three made their shots, but Legg put a little spice on his by going lacrosse-style. The crowd went nuts. But you can check it out for yourself below.
Tonight's Michigan Score-O insanity:

Maybe it’s a sign that Michigan is going to the Big BBQ this season.
