Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami Season Thread

Berschbach signed his NLI this year, he committed last year. Unless something has changed you don't sign your NLI until the year you attend the university. Thats how it was when I went through the process and signed one, but the NLI's are given to those who are attending the next school year. Which is why they have a national signing day, so those 5 who signed should be here in the fall unless they opt out and go somewhere else. Which is why Murphy and Cook didn't sign until this year when they committed two years ago. The class stands at 6 right now for the fall, so there is a numbers problem.

November 15,2008.
OXFORD, Ohio - The Miami ice hockey "Brotherhood" has added five new members as five junior hockey players signed national letters of intent to attend Miami University.






Shane Berschbach is a member of the Indiana Ice of the United States Hockey League (USHL). Berschbach is a 5-foot-8-inch native of Clawson, Mich. In 12 games this season with the Ice, Berschbach has 11 points (3-8-11) and four penalty minutes.

"He is a small forward, very savvy with the puck," head coach Enrico Blasi said. "He has play making ability and will add speed and skill to our forward group."

Jimmy Mullen- what can you say about this kid, at every level he tears it up. Currently leading the best prep team in the country with 52 pts. 24 g and 28 a. Really looking forward to watching him in oxford in the fall.

Mullin is NOT coming this fall. Will play a year in Fargo. Will be there 2011.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami Season Thread


Good find, then he didn't sign his NLI and they held him back. Which is why they brought it Mantha and Mason to fill roster spots. As of right now the five mentioned are to be assumed to have signed them. However with what you just showed and thinking about what has happened previously, I would think it would be safe to assume that One of those 5 announced in december aren't coming and the new signee is taking their place. Could be mullin or wideman, only two that I would consider holding back a year for more experience. Joe may have contact with the family and knows something so he could be right, but from who I have talked to that hasn't been the case yet.

Just leave Nic Dowd alone would ya? ;)
Seriously, that's a ton of guys from one team.

There is a reason behind it. Coach blashill runs a very similar system to Miami which is why if they can Miami tries to place their guys in Indy so they can get a head start on Miami's system and chemistry with other incoming freshmen. Which in part is why it was beneficial for Miami that Coach blash went the junior route. In a sense he still is a life line for them without being affiliated.

So, guys, came across this stat and found it phenominal.

Under Coach Blasi Miami is 13-0-1 when leading after the second period this year. Which would bring career record at Miami when leading after the second period to a whopping 170-11-15 :eek: ! pretty amazing stat there if you ask me.

That is a ridiculous stat, on the flip side, we used to be god awful when down after two, we're finally able to rally at the end though when down.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami Season Thread

Good win tonight after a long ride home from UAF this past weekend. Nice to see us not play down to competition too, which we have been prone to do on occasion. Gill had some amazing saves, which was expected. Reilly and C Mac both with beautiful moves that got him out of the net and they both hit the post.

And whatever happened to the CCHA initiative on the obstruction calls? They tried to emphasize that a couple years ago, but tonight was all clutch and grab by the Broncos with no whistles. Ah well, still a win, hopefully come home with another tomorrow.

FSU lost again, since our series with them we have been the beneficiary of a 26 point swing; we have gained 14 of 15 points, they've lost 12 of 15. We've got a nice 11 point cushion on them though.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami Season Thread

I'm glad i wasnt the only one that saw the blatant holding calls (especially in the first). I was afraid it was just sour grapes. i was disappointed in the turnovers in the defensive zone. Still like the win ... and Cody was very clutch. he had some big stops from point blank range.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami Season Thread

Tomorrows game is live on FSN Detroit at 5... And guess what? Its also shown at 11PM on FSN Ohio.

As far as I can remember, thats the first college game Ohio has shown, I guess they finally realized we have a decent club in our own state.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami Season Thread

I realize that this might be preaching to the choir here, but I am flabbergasted that Cody isn't getting any hype for the Hobey. I realize that I'm a little...ok a lot... biased. However, allow me to bloviate a bit.

Consider his stats and national rank:
GGA: 1.42 (1ST)
SV%: .934 (1ST)
Shutouts: 4 (2nd) ***only man with more, has a GGA over 2.00

I suppose the drawback to his case is that he doesn't play everyday. But I don't see how you can hold that against the kid. He's still playing in nearly 60% of the minutes, and the guy backing him up is nearly (if not just as) good. I'm not saying he's the best player in the country, but to have not considered him is absolutely asinine!

Thank you for your attention.

Well not to knit pick but the list that came out was preliminary and not the final 10. No one knows who the final 10 are or what not but I wouldn't raise any stink about Cody and the hobey until that list comes out. With that said, its highly likely he will be on the final 10 hobey list.

The obstruction initiative was abandon and replaced by the standard of play initiative which broadens the obstruction rule. Wasn't too much clutching and grabbing for a college game. At this high of a level there is always some type of obstruction but things have to fit under a certain criteria. Can't be knit picky out there guys, they are all big boys and have to fit throgh all of that and win battles its simple as that.

Tied at 1 currently late in the third and am amazed, but not shocked, at how well Gil is playing. The eye test for this game is about 5 or 6 to 1 in favor for Miami by Gil has not allowed much and is playing extremely well. Just like a lot of other series a hot goaltender can carry a team and you are seeing it tonight. Miami is playing extremely well firing over 45 shots on net with about half being quality shots which is key he is just making unbelieveable saves. And as I am typing this Miele with a rocket on the PP, there were bound to score there.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami Season Thread

Dominating game today on the ice, not so much on the score sheet though. We said all week that Gill was a stud in net, and he really showed that this weekend. At times today it looked like we were playing against a house pee wee team, the way we were able to control possession for nearly the entire first period and impose our will. VAIVE had some huge hits all weekend, and some great looks on net and set ups, nice to see. That Reilly/Palmer/Miele line is dangerously good. Even Mantha/Mason/VAIVE did well, love that we can roll 4 against teams.

Hard to believe that we have not lost a single CCHA game in regulation this season, and even then we have the lone loss to Mich State in overtime. Keep it up boys, controlling our own destiny.
