Gameday! Concentration at work will be difficult. Leaving Cowtown between 3 and 4 to have time for a few brews uptown. RHM (or anyone else), wanna meet before the game?

Done with classes and the realization that I will be at the Goggin in a few hours just feels great. Seeing the SCSU player bus pull into the Miami Inn just made it that much more exciting. Can't wait to watch some hockey. Let's go Hawks!

Would love to, but won't be in town. I won't reveal where I will be, well because I want to save face and ridicule from all of you. I will say this, I will be there in spirit and it was not my choice to be where I will. But '95 and redeagle will back me here to get what you want you have to give a little and if mama aint happy no ones happy!

Have fun tonight guys and lets hope its a great opening night!

4 hours until the puck drops. Hopefully we can start taking the sting away from that April game. Should be a good weekend, I'm going out on a limb and saying Camper is in the 100 point club by.... Western Michigan. I think Palmer gets it done the weekend before against Ferris.

Got in the student line at around 12:30. Was about the fifth person there. All three student lines are growing at a rapid pace. Hockey season is among us. 2.5 hours until the students are let in...3.5 hours until puck drop! Go Hawks!

Very big win tonight, what a great job of resilance tonight with going down early giving up a late goal to tie it but still finding a way to win in overtime.

Nice to see the young freshman McKenzie get the first but its the veteran and leader offensively, Camper, that gets the game winner.

Would love to hear what it was like from those that were there. But with all the hype of this game it is sure nice to come away with a win.

Cloud controlled the first ten of the game and much of the first period. Once the puck dropped in the second Miami took over until the frenzy at the end of the game. Steffes lost his stick and cloud crashed the net to tie it. We had some errors as was expected on first game but Cody came up big when we needed him. Our team is faster and more physical if that is possible. Reilly and Hartman were laying some big hits. We had a lot of close chance goals too but didn't finish. Hartman was the bigger impact freshman over Hanowski scsu touted kid. He had one good play the rest of the time he loafed. No wonder he didn't win Mr Minnesota. Also Brandon smith still can't pass or catch a pass

Good atmosphere at the rink last night and hoping for more of the same. Based on what Rico said at the luncheon I would expect to see Weber tonight which will really help down low and in getting the puck out of the zone. Obviously the tying goal late in the 3rd was a direct result of not being able to get a clear (hmm, there was this game in April in DC...this HAS to be a point of emphasis moving forward) and I think Will's size, wheels and great hands will be an asset.

I wasn't as high on Hartman's performance as others but he was certainly serviceable and more mobile than I expected. I like Spinnell's game and the edge he brings. He's not going to replace Roeder's thunder back there (who is) but overall, good start to the season.

A sweep would be gravy because I think SCSU can definitely play (not that I didn't think that). However, I could easily see a split. Will depend much upon which Connor Knapp shows up - assuming he plays. The first half of last season CK or the second half? I hope it's the first.

Unfortunately, I won't be there tonight...wedding to attend...sigh...but, it's supposed to be on ONN and that's what DVR's are for!

To me it seems with a late lead Miami tightens the grip on the sticks a little bit and panics some in their own end. A tell tale sign of being young on the back line. With more time and play patience will set in and that won't be as much of an issue.

I think you are right in the fact that we will see both Knapp and Weber tonight. I would expect a strong game from Knapp with him losing the job in april and Cody playing well last night he has to play well or he could find himself on the bench opening doors.

This is a great test for Miami early on as will next weekend but to start the season at a fast pace is the way to go. I like how the schedule is set up.

How about Miami being the only ranked CCHA team to win last night?? OSU gets swept by a mediocre ECAC team in quinnipiac. Michigan gets shut out by alaska, NMU loses to MTU, and Notre dame loses to UAH at home...rough opening night for the CCHA.

Definitely rough night roe conference but as long as we handle our bisoness we will be fine. Again don't forget steffesdudby have a stick so we were a man down on that tying goal. Toboggy we should wind up seeing a Miami team playing more to our potential. I hope Reilly and McKenzie both still dress and one of the scratched freshmen comes in for bad smith

yea still not sure what toboggy means lol.

I would assume Spin will sit tonight and weber will be in there. Or maybe Schilling is out, that will be interesting.

Who would you put in instead of Smith? Mason or Mantha? I would prefer having smith in there, he will settle down. His experience is more valuable especially since he really doesnt see a lot of ice.
