OK , let's start thinking about shooting the puck in the net. Sharpen the rust off the blades and let's start dreaming about some wins. The start of the season is about 2 weeks away.

Re: Ohio state " buckeyes " 2011 / 2012 season.
Just saw the redesigned uniforms for this season. No more swift jerseys. Home is white with the athletic logo as the crest and buckeye leaf shoulder patches. Away sweaters are red with arched "BUCKEYES" across the front and player # below that. Pants are back to black, and the helmets are now silver with the football striping down the middle.

They have pride in their sweaters and they don't change them on Nike whims. May be the only thing I respect Michigan for!!

Re: Ohio state " buckeyes " 2011 / 2012 season.
Hey Gang! Who is going Saturday? I got some new skates for the bday this summer and am anxious to try 'em out Saturday! Look for the 40-something lying on his back on the ice (or face down depending on how I fall) or skating very slowly next to the boards! But, hey, you only fail if you fail to try, right? When I was at OSU as a student, I used to go to the public skates at the OSU Ice Rink on the weekends when the team was out of town. I could actually get around the ice pretty good without falling down and I am sincerely hoping it will be like riding a bike. If not, maybe one of you could give me a quick refresher course (LOL)!

Re: Ohio state " buckeyes " 2011 / 2012 season.
In regard to the new sweaters and helmet, I am fine with them as long as we play hard and get some wins. Regardless of the uniforms, these young men will be playing for The Ohio State University! I am actually pretty excited for this season! I cannot wait to see if some of these freshman can come in and help with the scoring right away. I think we will be decent on D (hopefully) with a another year of experience for some of the D-men and Cal Heeter between the pipes. When the season started to go south last season, it was because we had trouble scoring. Any other thoughts on this season? I'm ready to talk Buckeye Hockey!

I completely agree with you, this season's success will depend on how fast the freshman adjust to the college game. The defense with another year under their belt and Cal in net should be fine. I know that they are going to have to get to the dirty area's if they are going to put pucks in the net. IMO thats what stopped happening when things went south last year they just couldnt get to the net. That playoff series was the icing on the cake pretty close to 90 shots on goal but most of them came from outside the circles and not many screens. They were picked 7th by the coaches and 9th by the media thats what i would say too anywhere in between 7-9th. I do know with Oz behind the bench they will play hard each and every shift and the hardest working players will play reguardless of talent. Should be a interesting season. GO BUCKS!
