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

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

Apparently Weston got in an edit, and took out her part of never winning at the new Goggin. On the other hand, in her second attempt at getting the 4 year record right, she blows it again. "10-1-3"

Hello Redhawks. The Boston Globe actually wrote about hockey west of Amherst (:eek: ) After I picked myself off the ground, I thought I would share this with the fine folks in Ohio.

Enjoy: Miami Scoring on the Rebound

Funny story from Jack Parker at the end of this as well.

PS: I'm on your bandwagon. (Since BU clearly isn't going to repeat.)

Great article, I appreciate you sharing that with us!

Big Blue all over Sparty tonight. If they can close it out, there's our semifinal matchup. Michigan has been all over the place this year, but the talent is still there. Michigan fan needed a pick-me-up after the Evan Turner debacle anyway.

Also, the at-large bubble has shrunk: Niagara 5, Bemidji 4.

UAH did take 4/6 in the head to head this season but I'm personally pulling for the Purple Eagles - solidarity with our fellow primary colored fowl.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business

What a crazy crazy night in college hockey. Not really surprised Bemidji lost, but North Dakota blows out Minny, Michigans blow out of sparty is surprising, Duluth wins in ot, St. Cloud lost in ot, Tech took Denver to the brinks, Yale lost....geez I am missing some too, oh yea Vermont gets smoked....got to love this time of the year in college hockey...

As for Miami's game, what I expected. Even being down 2-1 after the first Miami carried the play. SOG were close through 2 and I found myself asking where OSU got all of those shots because the ice was clearly tilted. Took Miami a period to really get their legs under them but once they got moving in the second that's all she wrote. Would expect more of the same, but OSU will be desperate tonight. Should be interesting.

Yale losing is an upset in regards to standings, not so much on the ice though. I called this one a week ago, Brown coming off a road series win against a decent RPI team, and Yale losing one of their only 2 good players by being a dumbass and goofing around at the pool after it was closed. Yale's defence is awful, and their goalies are even worse. Thankfully they'd be in our new bracket right now. Yes please.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business

Also, look out Denver. I put something up on MHT about this happening, but given that they are playing Tech, and we're playing Ohio State, that 1 game last night took us to .0001 behind them in RPI. And they were an inch away from going to overtime against the Huskies out in Denver. Another win tonight and regardless of what Denver does we should have our #1 back.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business

Remember, if we win out we get that #1 overall anyways... But if we win tonight, we get it too, for now.

A win tonight gets Miami's RPI at 0.5861
A Denver win tonight gets them to 0.5849
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business

Was at last night's game. I think everyone can agree that the guys were a bit sluggish out of the gate. I lay all of the blame for both goals on Cody - both were very easy in my opinion. Especially the little 5-hole poker. I don't mind Cody going for the poke-check off of Bishop's stick, but, in doing so, he couldn't close his pads in time. I probably would have let the defender take the body and focus on controlling the rebound. Nit-picking, but saying.

Otherwise, I was glad to see no lingering rust from guys such as Miele and Camper - helluva game from both. Palmer and Wings were all over the place. I haven't watched via 'net for a few weeks (and my first in-person game of the season), but did Spinell get some extended minutes last night?

Looking forward to a huge night tonight. Though I am reminded that SCA is just not the same when the students are on break. We really need to talk to President Hodge about making sure the students are in town for the last 2 weekends of the hockey season. Crowd was pretty good last night, but students would have made it much better.

I agree that the atmosphere is better with the students there, but this is the only time of the season a guy like me (#460 on the season ticket waiting list) gets a chance to go to a game.

Yale has more than two good players - and their defense isn't awful - but you're right about the goalies, and the effect of losing Backman, and Brown's improvement.

Well I must admit that I haven't seen much of their play this season, but something just strikes me as off when they give up that many goals. Didn't mean their defencemen necessarily, but team defence (goalies included). Any time you lose a 20+ goal scorer in the playoff season just spells bad news. And a team that has to audition 4 different goalies, only one of which with a sub 2.50 GAA, and none with .900 Sv%, wow.

It was good to see the rink full of people who don't always get to make it to games due to the rest of the season being "sell outs". I'd assume we see more students tonight coming back from spring break to catch what looks to be the last game of the season at home. Thankfully our potential playoff road trips after this are relatively short.

I'm sure he wants that first goal back, but he still made a good play on it. Just a lucky bounce to put it in. It was a great poke check to get the pass away, but then it went right off Bishops skate and in.

And I mentioned it in the other thread, that our first 20 would be "feeling it out", trying to get the rust of 2 weeks off. We still had good possession in that period, OSU was playing like they were shorthanded the entire time we had the puck in the offensive zone in the first. They weren't over pursuing or really trying to win battles in the corner, but playing great positional play and keeping sticks in lanes and forcing us to the outside. That obviously doesn't work for 60 minutes, and you see what we had in the 5 unanswered goals (and another 2 that were near goals right off the inside of the crossbar).

Not to mention that our win over the Bucks last night flipped the Common Opponents comparison in Miami's favor. Denver is currently winning RPI and Record Against TUCs, but like you said, a Miami win tonight will jump Denver's RPI and place us back in PairWise #1.

Yea even for feeling them out, they carried the play in the first. unlike tonight where they played uninspired in the first.

At least I won't have to go cross-eyed staring at the CCHA box score window again tomorrow night, heading back to Oxford bright and early. Let's hope we come out firing, go hawks!
