Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

Didn't think we played as well tonight as last night. Lots of sloppy play and way to many needless penalties by both teams.
UNO was very undisciplined at times.
A chippy affair would describe it.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

I think that a split should be a worst case scenario for Ferris. UNO isn't that great, solid yes but not over-powering (unless their Goalie gets on a roll). I think that Ferris can sweep the weekend. The question is will they?

I believe that Ferris will sweep UNO.

I told you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

Blais really wasn't happy with the officiating, but the consensus is that UNO can't expect a lot of calls down the stretch this year.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

Sloppy game on both sides. I'd like to see Ferris not take so many retaliation penalties. I think UNO actually got away with a lot of penalties. Not sure why their coach would be upset, other than being upset with his team's play. Stupid penalties throughout the evening.

However, for Ferris, a win is a win. 10-0 at home. They are going to have to play a few more games in the second half on the road, so we'll see how strong this team is. Winning at home is great, but they have to be able to take some games on the road as well.

The refereeing was not consistent at all tonight. First ticky-tack **** is being called, then it isn't, then it is.....I really thought they let a lot go and lost control of the game as you can see from my comments in the score update thread. UNO's frustration really didn't help their cause either.

Most definitely agreed. The game got out of control.

Its good to see Ferris have a good start to the season. Hopefully they can keep it going.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

Relax young one. Its far better to be making a lot of noise at the end of the season than at the start of it. All Ferris has to do is keep winning.

Oh geez. FerrisStateHockeyFan has gone off the rails starting threads. If he thought FSU was being disrespected before, just wait for the wrath of the posters on this board. I really hope none of this has jinxed any of our good fortune so far.

*Edit: My bad, I didn't mean to further offend him by my use of "our" in that last sentence.

Oh, and to re-visit another discussion we had about month ago regarding the 5:05 start times, check the box scores for the attendance on Saturdays. It's not pretty when compared to the Friday attendance. I think they blew it on this one.

In order: Opponent, Friday attendance, Saturday attendance:

UConn: 1844, 1091
Robert Morris: 1129, 1146
BG: 1275, 1279 (apparently, according to USCHO, we played that Saturday at Robert Morris *shakes head*)
Ohio State: 1689, 1450
UNO: 1591, 1058

5 Friday games: 7,528, 1,505 average
5 Saturday games: 6,024, 1,204 average

The only times the Saturday games beat the Friday attendance were RMU and BG, and apparently nobody came to either game on those two weekends. This isn't a good trend for attendance the rest of the season. We'll draw for Miami, Michigan and Michigan State, but as of right now I expect the Saturday attendance to be lackluster for the foreseeable future, those three games exempted.

Good Call Hammer on the Attendance...

But, when Miami was ranked #2 two seasons ago (And Ferris Swept them I may add at Home)

Ferris did not draw good. Let me check the actual attendance:

Friday 1,191 and Saturday 1,522...I think the 'Dawgs will only draw well for Michigan, and Michigan State.

Good news is though, the Student Section has been "Selling Out" or Over Filling into other sections this year, and that's a good thing...It's just the community who isn't showing up.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

But if you'll look again at your own numbers, you'll see that we drew 300 more in attendance on Saturday than we did on Friday. That's my point. You don't go jerking with the game times. Over this season our Saturday attendance is down 20% when compared to Friday. I do not believe that this is a coincidence.

And quit making new threads. You're making a bigger mess than what you're trying to clean up.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

So, home and home series with Western this weekend. Thoughts??
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

Yeah, this is a weekend where we've got to come out with 2 wins. Anything less than a sweep is going to leave a bad taste in a lot of mouths, especially with the tournament in Wisconsin looming larger and larger as this team continues to win games. There could be some serious Pairwise implications in those tournament games.

Agreed. I don't want to overlook WMU, but our matchup with Yale and then possibly Wisconsin (or Merrimack) could be real good indicators of where this team sits nationally. It will be nice to see the Bulldogs take on some quality teams OUTSIDE of the CCHA.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

Getting way ahead of ourselves here, but I'll play along.

A sweep of Yale and Wisconsin has the potential to be HUGE for our PWR. It gives us the nod on head-to-head, and likely common opponents for other teams. It's also going to boost our record against TUCs. Winning those games might be worth 2-3 spots in the PWR by the time it's all said and done, as I expect both of these teams to be TUC.

Again. For those of you that are new here, the PWR is the formula that the NCAA uses to determine the NCAA tournament. There's four components: RPI ranking, Head-to-head comparison, Record against common opponents, and Record against TUCs. A TUC is a Team Under Consideration, one of the top 25 in the RPI.

More later, as my connection right now is dodgy at best.
