The guys played hard but a little reckless, like I said earlier they got away with a lot of callable penalties. I felt if they could have been able to handle their passes then the power play success and other chances would have come together.

Just wanted to give all you fans of Ohio State Hockey a heads up that there are 3 jerseys from the OSU up for auction at www.obermanauction.com. (Not to mention some other great college hockey items). The auction is going to help raise funds for the head Men's Hockey Equipment manager at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, Chris Garner. The auction is to help offset medical costs (not covered by insurance) incurred from a bone marrow transplant Chris had in August. He is doing well now and hoping to be back at work by mid to late November. The auction ends on tomorrow, November 8th, so please check it out.....www.obermanauction.com is the auction site again. Thank you!

Well, that was a pleasant surprise. The guys looked somewhat lost against Robt Morris but played like they knew what they were doing against UAH Friday and Saturday. Little things to quibble about but two wins by four goals each doesn't leave a lot of room to complain.
One final point - these were the types of games that a Markell coached team always seemed to lose (he was 0-2-1 against UAH). Definite progress.

Dude - they don't have a league and are 1-8-1 overall this year. They used to be competitive when Markell coached. I know it's nice to win but "progress"? I think I'll wait and see.

Its still very early but our power play is number one in the league right now, Markell's powerplays the last couple of years have been straight garbage, I think thats a good sign

I'll stand by my statement. I saw what they looked like against Robt Morris and I drove up to Marquette to watch last week's two losses to Northern Michigan. The team I saw in these two games was better. This was a team OSU should have dominated, and they did. I rarely saw that in the last few years under Markell. So I think that's progress.

Hey, Oswego State (D-III) alum and fan just stopping in to say thanks for Ian Boots. He scored the game winning goal with less than two minutes left in Oswego's win over our rival Plattsburgh State. He's got 8 points through 6 games and has already become a fan favorite. I understand he didn't work out for you guys, but he's been working out well for us so far. Thank you Ohio State!

He's got 8 PIMs so far this season, but no back breakers by any means.

Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.
My first chance this past weekend to see the new Oz-led Bucks. Where to start?
Guys crashing the net, and consistently parking themselves in the slot. How many times did we get second- and third-chance whacks from rebounds? Rarely happened in the Markell years.
D-men frequently jumping in, or even carrying the play into the opponent's zone. The resulting coverage was occasionally non-existent, but I'll chalk that up to it being early in the season. Still, a better team could have made us pay.
No sitting on a lead. The Bucks continued to force the play even after taking a two- or three-goal lead. Markell woulda reined in his horses and played stall ball.
A coach actually interacting with his players on the bench. Oh, and no stenographer's notebook tucked tightly in his hand either. Plus, his coaching staff joined in the post-game handshakes.
In short, an encouraging two games. Not just because we won but because there's a tangible, palpable difference with the play on the ice.
Thank goodness.
Still one thing hasn't changed: the coverage of the games by the Dispatch. With the 'shoe team having a bye week, that shoulda meant some extra downtime for the reporters. But then, they probably thought they had to pay for parking and didn't bother to show up.

So they got 2 splits, a single game loss, got swept, and swept another team - that's progress? That's inconsistency. Give me a streak of solid play then I'll say it's progress.

Wait until his first spear when up by a goal late in the third, then let us know how much you like him...
