Bemidji State Beavers 17-18

Re: Bemidji State Beavers 17-18

Beavers looked real solid against SCSU from the goalie out. This young team is really coming together and has shown much improvement the last couple of weeks. Big weekend coming up in B-town against a strong OSU team. I am predicting 2-1 & 3-2 wins for the Beavers.

Did look better, although it appears St. Cloud may have a firm hold of last place. They are the youngest team in DI women's hockey. This weekend versus OS will have a better indication if Bemidji can get up into the top four of the league. One thing is obvious in my early season assessment. DeGeorge can play. She may already be the best on this roster.

How'd that go? Even with an ailing Sauve OSU found a way to leave town with the $$$! Team is improving, but you need better goaltending for anyone to "Fear the Beaver"
 
Re: Bemidji State Beavers 17-18

I heard the Beavers were down 2 key forwards against Ohio? If that was true, not a bad showing against #5 in the nation.

Sophomore Kiki Radke and Senior Summer Thibodeau were out of the lineup for the Beavers. Not high on the scoring charts, but definitely a loss from an experience standpoint.

Easy to blame the goaltending, but not the whole story. Deters was solid on Friday night, especially in the shootout. Saturday was a different story, but had more to do with the lack of defensive zone coverage and odd man rushes. On more the one goal the goalie was hung out to dry. All four lines put up points which was a positive sign, however they need to take care of their own end if they want to be "feared".

OS has some top end talent and I will not be surprised if they finish #2 (sorry Gopher fans). Sauve was not at her best and if she is indeed still a little banged up that may explain why she gave up more goals then usual.

When you go 6 rounds in a shootout and one goal is scored, I would say that both goalies did well. The Beavers have a solid team and may have pulled the upset if Radke and Thibodeau had been in the lineup. As for Sauve, she definitely looked like she was off and sounds like she was hurt in the Wisconsin series. Maybe she came back too early.

Goalies get too much credit and too much blame. BSU has a stiffeling d that makes goalies look great. That said there were no D's for the shootout and she looked great, I don't see that as their weakness.

Given that OSU has two games up on MN they could easily finish 2nd unless they really are slipping in which case 3rd might slip away if things go way off.
 
Re: Bemidji State Beavers 17-18

It will be interesting to see if DeGeorge, Radke and Thibodeau are back for the Gopher series tonight and tomorrow. They sure could use those three this weekend.
 
Re: Bemidji State Beavers 17-18

This Beaver team is for real and have really developed as the season has progressed. They are relentless with high compete level and are fun to watch. The program has a great feel and the players play hard for each other. They have good things going on up there and it will be interesting to see how far they can go.

Looking back I can see why Pucklife was excited. Played the #1 team in the nation, Wisconsin tough and arguably should have won at least one game. The last six games have been the exact opposite. Appears the team has lost the old Bemidji grit where they knew if they did not work hard they'd get their tails handed to them. It will be interesting if they can recapture this prior to the playoffs.
 
Re: Bemidji State Beavers 17-18

Wisconsin is an excellent team and is certainly a tough match up. However, I believe this Beaver team will battle like crazy as they skate very well and compete all over the ice. Certainly hoping for the upset over the much respected Badgers.

Had to go back quite a ways to find this BSU thread from last season! I was wondering which other D1 programs have a female play-by-play radio announcer? Pretty cool that long-time Beavers' announcer Kelly Schultz is receiving all the accolades as described in this article. :cool:

Congrats to Kelly! She definitely loves her job and has the passion for it. The Beavers are lucky to have her!
