Ohio State Buckeyes 2022-2023 ... The Drive For Duluth

[Hockeybuckeye]

Let Timothy string himself out like a piece of Laffy Taffy.

But I really like Timothy! He just does what we all do by being an advocate for his school's teams.
It doesn't matter to me if a forum member's perspective is accurate or bizarre as long as it sparks discussion or debate because that's what makes being on forum fun!
BTW, I think it's time for a Buckeye to win the Patty Kaz!

This is exactly Watts I am trying to do....advance the conversation and have some fun. Steamboat needs to let a little pressure out of the pressure valve and loosen up a bit.

I didn't realize all those 5th year players were coming back for OSU. I guess that makes OSU a lock for second. Heise won't be able to save MN from 4th, St Cloud is coming hard for MN. LOL.

Your optimism for OSU being a lock for 2nd did make me chuckle but don't forget we also have Elander back on the staff!
We were no slouches last season on the pp but with coaching the pp's and shootout techniques being some of his specialties I'm very excited about the upcoming season. It really stinks missing so much of last season being in a coma and on a ventilator from before Christmas to late February!
BTW Timothy, isn't it time to move on from the constant Watts reference on all your posts since she's no longer on the team? LOL!

Yeah, that ship sailed long ago.

Are your REALLY sure about that?
Especially since the Muzinator flipped Webster to Ohio State! (Big Wink)

She'll always be in my heart. It was just to stunning that she transferred to WI, I still cannot believe it happened. I'm sad it ovah, I have a hard time letting go. It's kinda funny, when I'm posting here, it just comes out naturally. The main reason I was doing it was to poke T3 a bit, but he seems to have abandoned us except for tourney time, so MAYBE I will attempt to re-train my brain/fingers to stop. I'm a bit dense, as you all know, so it may be a challenge. Watts Watts Whatts Whatss Watts Whattts Whats Whats whats what Watts what.....No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel for you, we've all been there.

It looks like Timothy is a few paces off the mark when you look at the USCHO Coaches poll. The Ohio State on top, Gophers 2nd, BADgers 3rd. Then Northeastern and Duluth.

Today is the first day of official practice and I got a hug from Coach Nadine and met her new staff! She's so intense behind the bench during the games and is such a sweetheart in person.
We talked about you Timothy A but don't worry, it was nothing bad. She's quite aware of our posts. LOL!
However Timothy, if you every get to Columbus for an OSU-UW series I'll do my best to try and introduce you to her! You would like her even though she coaches for your rivals.
It would certainly give us something to talk about over a beer after the game. The Varsity Club bar is right across the street from the arena!

(Channeling Elaine Benes) Shut Up! Your are BSing me. Well, um, you know I'm just doing some pre-season goofing around, the BADgers will be lucky to win 1 game against tOSU all season, and if they are so lucky as to pull off a lucky win, it will be in a game they get outshot 65 to 12 and the winning BADger goal will be off a triple deflection that includes a high stick, a distinct kicking motion and goalie interference that Ludwig and Bradshaw screw up the review on and make it count for the BADgers when it really should not have due to all the stinkin' BADger cheating on the play. But don't worry, your undefeated season will still happen because MJ will forfeit the game out of unbearable guilt over how the goal was scored. He'll make up some story that a 4th line winger was ineligible for that game so it won't even count as a tie against tOSU.

I sit behind the opposing team bench at the UW home games, I am well aware of her intensity, but I can't for the OSU games now as she's gonna come over the glass and kick my butt. I don't stand a chance.

Gosh I love this board, so much fun.

I'm not sure of what you're trying to convey Timothy but maybe it's because it's late and I'm half asleep. Are you implying our coach would have reason or want to kick your butt? I'm rather confused.

Well I skater tonight for the first time since I became ill. It was at the OSU rink. It took all my effort not to fall and it exhausted me.
There was one thing that bothered me, I asked the rink manager for permission to skate with a hockey stick to help stabilize me and was refused.
I've skated that ice since the beginning of the 1960's, well before he was born so imagine my frustration that he was unwilling to accommodate me since I'm now legally disabled.
Now I'm struggling with the decision to let it go or take it up higher in the athletic department.

Take it higher, please. I would be in a similar situation, and if some callow idiot had no good reason to not let me skate to my comfort ability, I take it to the top. Do this for our generation. Thanks.

Heads must roll. Complete disregard for your situation. What a complete jackarse.

He's really not that bad a guy and I don't want to cause him any real problems. It just frustrated me for as long as he's known me and knowing my medical condition he wouldn't or couldn't make exception to accommodate a disabled person, especially one who's skated there for over sixty years. He said I could buy and use one of those skating "walkers" but there is an issue of my pride and dignity as well. I just want to try and resume my life the way it was the best I can!
My gratitude to my fellow forum member's who see this my way.
