Anybody know the status of Gron and Cherniwchan and whether they'll be skating this Friday?

Gron was limited in practice yesterday according to @MattWellens. Chewy was participating in full practice.Originally posted by aygwm2 View Post
As for the 12-4 stretch, while it may seem daunting, I fully believe this team can do it. It's a goal they should have. Plus, I'm not a big fan of leaving fate to other teams. Why not control it ourselves?
And I'm greedy; I want a certain chunk of marble to decorate our display case before the league disbands.

For $7, you get what you pay for. Visuals to accompany the radio feed. It's generally one camera that follows the action. No replay.Originally posted by stuckinwi View Post
I believe the last home series was a special treat from a campus Broadcast Production class where they had multiple angles and their own play-by-play (which, generally, is awful because they're college kids who don't give a sh** about hockey).

Re: NMU 2011-12 Season Thread
Thought the defense looked great tonight--really keeping things to the outside. Did a good job of transitioning out of their own zone and they caused Tech to turn over the puck several times--one being Gron's nice goal at 8:30 in the 3rd. They cycled the puck pretty good in Tech's zone and it's nice to see them with a 32 shot night. PK was good. But Tech did not look like they showed up for this one--they seemed out of sorts, maybe still reeling from last weekends Minnesota series.NMU Hockey Since 1976 ...there at the beginning.

Re: NMU 2011-12 Season Thread
Nice win last night vs Tech!!
Looks like Grn may have found a home on a line with Thurber and Seckel.
Last nights stats for that line:
Player Goals Assists Pts SOG +/-
Gron 2 1 3 6 +3
Thurber 0 2 2 6 +3
Seckel 1 0 1 3 +3
Not a bad night for a line 3 Goals, 6 Points, 15 Shots, +9
Hope this builds into the 2nd half!Comment

Re: NMU 2011-12 Season Thread
Remaining schedule: Alaska 2x, @MSU 2x, @Tech, @Miami 2x, Ferris 2x, @ BG 2x, @UoM 2x, LSSU 2x.
OK, here we go...NMU is tied for 9th in the PairWise with MSU. All of the remaining teams that the 'Cats play, except BGSU, are in the top 30 (Tech is 31, close enough).
Only 6 home games and 9 games on the road. No team can be taken lightly: remember the first round against BGSU last year.
I say 10 - 5 best case, 8 - 7 worst case, but I hope they can do better. The road trips to Lansing, Oxford, and A2 will be telling.
Should be a very interesting second half for NMU and the CCHA in general.NMU Hockey Since 1976 ...there at the beginning.

Re: NMU 2011-12 Season Thread
Not trying to argue, I agree with you...I'm sure they don't take teams lightly--it's simply my hope that they don't and won't. It was a mistake to use the BGSU series as an example.Originally posted by davyd83 View Post
I can't get into a statistical argument with you, because most likely stats aren't going to matter when up against CCHA opponents. And, I'm not going to do the research to support what would probably be my inane claims.
My post was simply made because I'm a fan and I'm hoping for the "best case scenario" for the rest of their season.
Mostly, I just wanted to see what the rest of you thought of the games the remainder of the season and how you think the 'cats will fare.
