Re: Official 2010-2011 Miami season Thread: 3rd times a charm???

I didn't get to see either of the games :( was there any "unsettled business" from the fights in BG last year?

Nope, not really sure why their would be.


'95 said it in regards to the third period.

'08 to your comment on carter, he is solid in the offensive zone but he could be a lot better. One of the main issues is his consistant inability to move his feet in the offensive zone. He spends way too much time gliding. Next week watch him when he is in possesion of the puck and gaining entry into the zone, he stops moving his feet when he gets into the zone. Miele gets caught doing this at times as well, with their speed and stick skills they need to keep their feet moving through the zone. He will create even more opportunites for himself as well as draw more penalties.

Good thing is Miami got 6 pts this weekend and the fact that it is still only the first half of the season is positive. Lots of time to get more consistant and turn things around. Still have lots of confidence in this team and coaching staff, there is too much talent on this team. Really nice to see Connor put forth a great performance last night, well deserved.

Enjoyable weekend at the BGSU ice arena, over 3,000 people there tonight and a very lively Miami section behind the bench.

How about Riley tied for 6th in the nation for points after this weekend

KNAPP congratulated the fans via his Twitter feed for being there, so loud and vocal and supportive. Nice work!

We got the BG students to start throwing things at us on Saturday, so must have been doing something right ;).

So not to be creepy or anything, but Rhbm I think RicoforPresident and myself were sitting next to you on Saturday, just because I vaguely remember what you look like from that goofy Miami snowman picture last year.

Haha you should have said something! It was good to have the backup for the cheers on Saturday... my voice hadn't quite recovered from Friday. We definitely got under the skins of some BG fans!

Pretty sure they were getting under my skin with the same **** cheer every 3 minutes.

I was only about 50% sure so didn't say anything lol, I was wearing the "M" jersey in the group of students to your right.

Eh, what do you expect? They can't play at home in March due to highschool wrasslin'. No surprise. Poor Oz. Should have stuck it out at Wisconsin.

Really? More dropped points to a team that we should have beat. Awesome. I better go stock up on those now banned in Ohio Four Lokos if I plan on listening to tomorrows game.

No kidding, I need a drink.

Wow, another lost 3rd period. (This time coupled with a lost 1st period) When will this turn around? Bet Blashill was thrilled though.
 
Re: Official 2010-2011 Miami season Thread: 3rd times a charm???

Alright, now to head back home for our biggest conference series yet. We have 2 games in hand on ND, so if we sweep we could find ourselves up 7 points for the time being (1 point if they win the 2 remaining), or be down 5 points, and potentially 11 points if they won the 2 in hand. Have the boys ready to play a full 120 this next weekend. No more lapses. Already 2 months into the season, and we have a lot of upperclassmen, can't afford to sleep through games anymore.

Should be a good series. They are very young, and we're a veteran team. They lost and tied at North Dakota this weekend while we were giving away league points to an inferior opponent. A sweep would be helpful, but have to get at least one. I really don't know how good Notre Dame is yet. It might be more telling to catch this young team near the end of the season when their legs are tired or they are learning how to win games that really matter.

Both teams are coming in posting similar records, Miami at 9-4-3, ND at 9-4-2.

Miami is averaging 3.75 goals/game while allowing 2.12/game. Both those numbers are top 10 in the nation in their respective categories. The Irish are scoring nearly the same at 3.60 goals/game, but giving up 2.73/game.

Each teams penalty kill are very similar, Notre Dame killing 89.0% of their man down situations, Miami killing 89.2%. The powerplays are significantly different though, with Miami cashing in at 22.1%, Notre Dame at 14.1%. At that though, the Irish also do lead the nation in shorthanded goals at 7, Miami scoring 3 so far.

Miami is still led by the CCHA's top 3 leading points scorers, Camper (12-20--32), Miele (8-19--27), and Smith (11-8--19). Since moving to the fourth line two weekends ago Smith has 2-3--5 in that time.

Coincidentally, Notre Dame has the 4th-6th spots locked down in the CCHA scoring race, with TJ Tynan (8-10--18), Ryan Guentzel (2-15--17), and Ben Ryan (2-14--16).

Looks like Mike Johnson is the man between the pipes for the most part this season for the Irish, and is coming in with a 2.56 GAA and .911 Sv%.

Knapp statistically leads the RedHawks with a 1.79 GAA and .915 Sv%, but a record of 3-2-3 due to lack of goal support. Reichard has a record of 6-2-0, 2.31 GAA and .901 Sv%.

To update the "goal support" debate for the two Miami goalies, Knapp has now allowed 14 goals this season, Reichard with 19. The team has seemed to score well in the past two weekends with Knapp in net, Reichard now with 36 goals scored for him, Knapp with 24.

Also, in the past 18 games in this series, Miami holds a commanding edge at 13-2-3, including a recent 6 game winning streak.
