This series features both games being played in the Schottenstein Center, always a treat for the players and fans. Ohio State will come in licking some wounds after only getting one point in last weekend's series against Bemidji State. By now everyone has heard about the melee in Friday's game which left both teams with very short benches for Saturday's game. Ohio State is at a crossroads here, honestly, and I expect them to bring their best effort this weekend. They have to get points this weekend. That will not be easy against a great program like UMD's. Bulldog fans, tell us about your season and what we can expect this weekend.

Saturday's game was physically demanding for the Buckeyes on the ice. But for those stuck in the South Bleachers -- in the Player Purgatory Pen -- it had to be very difficult emotionally. Gotta believe those 10 players are going to be highly motivated this coming weekend.

girls out there this weekend! That game Saturday may have been one of the best atmospheres I have seen at an OSU women's hockey game in a while.

But to be serious: There was a lot of courage displayed in the Saturday Bemidji game, and the crowd did appreciate it.

(I'll add that I was surprised when I saw the video...it looked more like a love-in than the UND-MSU rhubarb of a few years ago on steroids like I was sort of expecting to see after seeing all the penalties in the box score. Regardless, it's all to the good...meaning a lot lower probability of someone sustaining a serious injury).Last edited by Blackbeard; 11-13-2013, 07:28 PM.

Kind of off topic...Bonhomme got cut from Team Canada as well...I was quite surprised.
The 'Dogs have a lot more scoring punch this year than last but it has not been consistent...witness no longer being ranked.
And an odd time for the Friday game.
(Disappointed after reading a post by DC78 indicating that the Four Nations Cup was broadcast on the internet, at least as far as I understood, since I was not aware, but glad to hear it's getting some air time).Last edited by Blackbeard; 11-13-2013, 10:43 PM.

Thanks.

Tessa, should this post come to your attention, thanks for everything. Never forget you'll always be a Buckeye!
Blackbeard, thanks for the link. It does seem that Tessa handled the news very professionally, and I commend her for that.

One other note, the reason for the 3:00 start time on Friday is this weekend's games are being played at the Schottenstein Center (women's/men's double-header). If you come to the women's game, you get a free ticket to the men's game later.

Nice looking rink...good lighting and decent video quality...and the play by play guy is into the game.
Good chances both ways...looks like the week off might have energized the 'Dogs.
Fairly quick game. Hopefully, OSU doesn't fold emotionally being down 3-0 after one and the 'Dogs don't decide to coast.
The score is not indicative of the play.
SOG: OSU 12 - UMD 8.

No folding on the menu for OSU...just the opposite. UMD 3 - OSU 2 after two.
Tons of pressure by OSU throughout most of the second resulting in 2 quick goals in the first five minutes of the second period.
'Dogs in the last two minutes of the period look to have taken the edge off of that huge momentum that the Buck's owned for the first 18 minutes of the period.
Very entertaining game.
