  • Ohio State vs Minnesota 2/10 - 2/11

    It doesn't get any easier for the Buckeyes. Last weekend the Buckeyes earned a split with Minnesota-Duluth to stay tied for fourth place. This weekend the Buckeyes will face Minnesota at home before traveling to Wisconsin in the last weekend of the season. Senior Day will be Saturday and will be your last chance to cheer on a very special senior class ... Brittany Carlson, Melissa Feste, Laura McIntosh, Natalie Spooner, Kim Theut, and Kelly Wild.

    And you'll have to put up with a loud, obnoxious, ref-insulting, Minnesota Rouser-singing madman... otherwise known as me , as I make my first trip to Columbus since I was a high school senior checking out Big Ten universities some 19 years ago.

    Minnesota is on a four-game road winning streak -- albeit against MSU and SCSU -- and looking to keep within 2 games of Wisconsin (despite the likelihood of being able to actually catch them). A single standings point for the Gophers will lock up the #2 seed in the conference playoffs.

    If I had gotten the good scholarship, I would have been a Buckeye. Your loss.

        True. I was thinking more along the line of the overall current 4-game winning streak, with all four occurring on the road.

          There's talk that Kim Theut is redshirting? So you might get another year to see her.

            I wondered about that because she has been hurt and hasn't played a single game this season. It would be great to see her come back and be able to get back on the ice.

            CrazyDave, won't be the first or last time we've had some loud, obnoxious visiting fans at the OSU Ice Rink. Hey, just make sure you temper the expectations a little because it's not Ridder!

              I hoping that the ladder to the "press box" can support my weight. I've been hearing stories.

                  Haha ... good one! I am sure the ladder will support your weight. Have fun this weekend and enjoy some great womens hockey in a cozy environment. You'll have a nice view of the action in that "press box." I am hopeful we can get a split this weekend, but that will require us to score goals against the best goalie in the league, in my humble opinion, Noora Raty. Won't be easy. For all the Minnesota fans coming down, safe travels and enjoy the games.

                    Looking forward to my first trip to Columbus. I believe that the games will be competitive as they were at Ridder earlier this season. OSU will need to get some offense though as the Gophs bottled them up for the most part including Spooner.

                    Going to the games?

                      Absolutely going! It will be my last chance to cheer our six seniors on as I will not be able to be at Wisconsin next weekend! Have a safe trip down!

                        Oh ye of little faith! What about our home playoff series?

                        OK, OK. I know we have the tougher schedule, and that on paper the odds are against it. But I'm not giving up unless it becomes mathematically impossible, and I'm very confident the team feels the same way.

                          Sorry, not a lack of faith, just an innocent slip-up! I still think we can get a first-round home series, too, although it will not be easy. But, then, as Woody Hayes once said, "Anything easy ain't worth a ****."

                              If I want this series to somehow favor UMD in the pairwise I should be cheering of OSU, right?? However, I expect it to be a great series and wish fans from both sides to see good hockey.
