I would have laughed at you if you'd told me that we'd have eight wins before Ferris rolled into to town, much less that we'd have five at home and four in a row coming into that time. Holy smokes.

I thought you guys played hard both nights and came right at the Lakers. Both Guerero and Defiel played well both nights. The difference Friday was that in addition to our lone goal, the Lakers had about 5 or 6 other grade A opportunities but in each case fired the puck just wide of the net or in one case over the net. On Saturday, the Lakers were 0 for 7 on the pp which did us in. In addition, there were two other key points in the game, both in the second period. With the Lakers up 1-0, Perfetto make a great pass from the corner out to Wright who was coming in back door from the opposite point. Wright couldn't handle the pass and it went over his stick. It could have been an easy goal if Wright handled the pass. Guerero wouldn't have had a chance. Second, a Laker player passed the puck back to Chatham at the right point. Again, Chatham couldn't handle the pass, it went over his stick, and Reid who was already skating towards Chatham then outraced him down the ice to pick up the puck and score on a breakaway to tie the game. Whether the puck was bouncing a little too much or our guys just were'nt strong enough on the puck to handle the passes I couldn't tell or don't know. Both teams are obviously offensively challenged.

We need another year of forward development from the kids and the rising juniors.

The three points this weekend make it pretty likely that UAH will make the playoffs. It's going to be hard for both the Lakers and Seawolves to pass the Chargers. Pick up 3-4 points on the next two home weekends — and that's realistic from Ferris and maybe a little less so from Alaska — and we'll be just fine.

I'm excited for them. I think that they've decided to not let the rest of the SECHC hold them back.

Arkansas announced the same move about a month ago -- that probably helped.

Very realistic from Ferris (not saying it will be easy of course). FSU has only scored 1.44 goals per game on the road (as opposed to 3.23 at home) this season. If that stays to form the Chargers we won't have to score much to win, which is good because CJ Motte is still CJ Motte.

Geof, I realize you may not be at liberty to say, but what's the word on Joey Marooney? Any chance he re-commits? He's really starting to play well now that he's getting some ice time in Green Bay. With Houcher, Beaulieu, Salerno, and Wilcox already in the fold, Marooney would cap off a very solid forward recruiting class. Best we'd have in recent memory IMO.

I haven't gotten the story on him, but I'm guessing that we still have a shot. I probably won't be able to say too much.

Michael — I think that taking points off of Ferris is very realistic given that we split in BR this year.
