Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business

Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business

"Michigan plays three of its last four regular-season games at home. The Wolverines are 7-0-1 in Yost this season."

Paula please do some more research. Miami swept Michigan at Yost.

I just try to channel my inner Erika Hadley and hone in on an unparalleled level of predictability and mundaneness. Its a gift really.

(For those a few years removed from Student reading, Erika is our favorite senior staff writer tasked with covering Miami Hockey.)

"I have a bit of a problem with Wideman's selection, as he was on the ice for that brawl Saturday"-Paula Weston (regarding him being named CCHA Defenseman of the Week)

I guess I don't understand how his participation in a fight correlates to his superb defense along with scoring multiple points. Apparently she has been reading posts by BG fans.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business

I am finding that with each passing season, I lose more and more respect for this Weston that calls herself a "writer" or worse a "journalist."
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business

Checking other teams threads, they all pretty much say the same thing.

"Well, we DO NOT want to finish in this spot. We will either a) have to go to Oxford and get swept by Miami in the second round or b) have to play Miami in the semis at the Joe and the season is over"
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business

Paula Weston hating on the fight makes me love it that much more. Like this joker has any concept of what the Brotherhood is. Perhaps they were protecting their goalie? Last Saturday was a very unique circumstance and there is a little part of me that would love to see BGSU pull off a first round upset and have them come to Oxford.

North Dakota's Darcy Zajac summed it up nicely after their game againist SCSU last weekend:

“It’s frustrating because if they would’ve let it happen, it would be settled now. Now it’s just going to escalate and you get worse and worse things happening. … We’re grown men. We know what to do. We know how the game is played.”

Oh no they didn't. Awesome stuff. Without yet heading the article, I'm going with over 12 references of "Brotherhood" or "Red and White"

Probably a good guess on the over/under of 12 there.

One thing I think the Student completely missed though... Was the fact that UNO is leaving and this is it for our conference series with them.

At least we get someone with a neutral view of the BG fight. And with that many DQs this season, it definitely does look like that team loves to goon it up when they're down (read: every game).

But then she picks a split, so she still sucks.

Yeah she did take quite the neutral stance...however I thought it was just a bit extreme when she was talking about anyone who fights should automatically get ejected from the game? I mean a scuffle every once in a while is part of the game, unfortunately nothing too interesting (until last week) is able to happen in college hockey. Think about how many players would have been ejected if everyone who as she put it "took a swing" got ejected?

If this was the case most of the team would have been ejected. Also, if this rule was in place McKenzie would be ejected almost every week. Haha

Paula has lost all credibility with me. That she suggests that Miami lose the "chips on the shoulder" while perpetuating disrespect is both hypocritical and unreadable.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business

After all this malcontent towards the Student I was hoping that it would redeem itself in the only way it could, the good old, reliable, Police Beat.

1) Someone lost their drugs and yelled at their significant other
2) A broken side-view mirror
3) A burglary

Can you say epic fail?

Totally agree the Police beat was definitely an epic fail this week. On a somewhat positive note "the Brotherhood" was only mentioned three times in the hockey article.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business

"the Red and White" made quite a few appearances as well, though less then expected. Progress!?!
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business

Jeesh, you guys were busy since I logged in yesterday!

I guess my suggestion of "The Dynasty lives on..." for Part II, while by far the best option, is simply too late. :(

I know tonight's game is on the NHL Network now. Does anyone know for certain if it will still be on ONN tonight as well?

Why aren't we winning?

How about last week when 3 students stiffed a cabby over a $5 fare and assaulted him?

I actually think she hit the nail on the head about the incident. It mirrors what I said earlier in the week. Miami cannot do that and engage like that. They have to start showing restrant. She even pointed out the two incidents I did with Knapp going after grover well after things had escalated and hirsch's ridiculous behavior going after grover willing being escorted to the box.

The last two weeks have elevated Miami's total PIM's but they were near the top almost all season. However a lot of those have been inflated because of several 10 min misconducts they have gotten. There is something to them having a chip on their shoulder and I love it, but would like them to channel it a little better.
