With how the offense was playing I don't think it had much of an effect on the outcome.

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey
Yeah, the Lakers were not really generating much so I think it was worth a shot. They had the faceoff in the OSU zone with the Schofield line out there when they pulled Kapalka. That was probably there best opportunity to get within a gaol.
The bigger dissapointment was giving up the early 2-0 lead. Cassiani and Lain went in on a 2-1 about 2 minutes into the game right after the Schofield goal. They needed to convert there and put the Buckeyes in an early 3-0 hole.

Lakers had their chance and they blew it. We really need a MSU regulation/overtime win tonight. Nevertheless, super duper huge series next weekend. Can't wait.

Lakers get help from Michigan State as they beat Alaska. Lakers need two points to leapfrog Alaska to clinch first round home ice. If not and we get swept, we need Ferris to limit OSU to nothing more than one point.

And Miami has nothing to play for from a standings point of view. Even with a sweep they can't catch Michigan and Western is too far behind to catch them.

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey
Miami is 12th in the Pairwise. They will be playing for an NCAA berth. Maybe to also get Andy Miele the Hobey Baker too.

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey
No need to guess about budgets in the internet age. Lake State's recruiting budget for men's hockey last year was $28,788.
Couldn't find breakdowns for hockey, but Ferris spent $40,975 and NMU spent $75,097 recruiting male athletes last year. Both those schools have football teams which must eat up a huge chunk of the recruiting budget, even if they are D-II.

I wonder if the folks who are giving $5 Mil for a swanky new arena would consider kicking in an extra $100K to up the recruiting budget 10K a year for the next decade?
Their generosity is fantastic and I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but kids need to be brought in to look at the new arena before they commit and that costs money.

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey
Good point. That was a really short-sighted comment on my part. I didn't even think about national rankings, only CCHA standings.

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey
Using that data I'd be willing to bet that we spend more than Ferris on recruiting and would be in the same ballpark as Northern. There is no way Ferris spends only 12 grand recruiting for football. Their recruiting budget is shockingly low. It would be an interesting study to compare wins to recruiting budget, I'm sure Ferris would spend a lot less per win than most schools.

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey
He broke an ankle at an evaluation camp for the World Junior A Challenge back in August and missed the first part of the season, so his numbers aren't as good as if he'd played the whole season. I like the fact that his coach said he's quick and gritty.

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey
From what I've learned about him, he seems kind of like Freddy. An undersized two-way forward with good short area quickness. I don't think he'll be a 25 point getter for us, but a third liner who will put in 10-12 points and play some defense.
