Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

Tough Loss tonight. Giving up 2 goals off turnovers will hurt you everytime. They controlled the game for most of the last 40 minutes, but the first period was not very good. Western came out with alot of energy and the bucks didnt match it for the most part. The 2nd and 3rd periods Kuhn made some great saves to keep western on top.

WELL SAID.

I think Western had the edge on us at the start. There Goalie played awesome. I also noticed that Western was kinda of CHEAP & CHIPPY. They did alot of clutch and holding , hit after the whistle and smack the Bucks in front of the net. The Bucks need to pick it up a notch to save there butt from a sweep. Dries was the center of attention all game until he got the boot. He was looking for trouble and Western answered the call. GO BUCKEYES GO.
 
Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

With 853 left in the game Ohio state was given a penalty and after the play dries skates over and whacked a western player with his stick and was given 10 minute misconduct. Wilkens skates over to OZ and tells him what happens and Oz tells him to send him to the locker room. Wlikens looks at the clock and says there could be overtime. Oz again points to the locker room and wilkens says are you sure its your call OZ says yes. So Dries gets to sit the last 853 in the locker room for a stupid play. That really hurt but i like that he is sending a message be discipline or your going to sit. I wonder if he will sit tomorrow or was that punishment enough? If they play for 60 minutes tomorrow like the last 40 were played tonight there is no doubt in my mind a W will be the result. Sitting behind the Bench tonight i got to see first hand what i thought i saw from the other side of the ice, Oz does way more coaching than Markell ever did on game day. He is up and down the bench talking to the players letting them know what they are doing and not doing. During the timeouts he is the one drawing up the plays not the assistants as in the past.

As much as this team needs Danny on the ice, I think this was a great move and goes a long way toward showing the players what is expected of them.

Oz is being consistant in his attitude, from dismissals from the team to dealing with Dries last night, his way or highway.

Sorry to hear that you missed most of the game (those concession stand lines are awful). Jerry should have had a shutout but for the terrible call that resulted in OSU's Power paly goal and then Western scored on their own goal for the second. Fairly even for 60 minutes with Western being the smarter team all night. Time for a sweep.

I'm guessing you are one of those creative students who think they understand hockey and represent Western Michigan University with such class. Too bad the school doesn't have the stones to throw you vulger imbeciles out like they threaten to do, oh, 4 or 5 times per game. Lawson would be rather tomb-like without that oh so witty bunch of idiots...

I was listening to the game on the radio, who has the details of who started the fight after the shootout?

That was started by Brown after his shootout goal. he skated by the Buckeye Bench and taunted them the whole way by. The trainer had to hold Crain back from jumping on the ice to go after him right then. After the bucks huddled up to celebrate the win they turned around to shake hands and some words must have been said to get it going but im not sure.

2 points is better than 0 anytime. I thought this was a very well played game by both sides. On to the Irish next weekend.
 
Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

It was a battle of a game. I'm not surprised that Western would skate by the Bucks bench and taunt. I could tell they were a cheap team from the start. That's not saying much for there Head Coach. Maybe college needs to start a ruling about taunting others players or teams. The fight in the handshake doesn't surprise me either. You see this in hockey alot when one side has bad blood for the other team. I'm all for a GOOD LUCK team handshake at the start of the games when nobody hates anyone yet. Way to keep your heads up " BUCKS. "

It was good to see Sophmore Jeff McNeil get his first points as a Buckeye player to tie the game and send it into OT.

Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

Please note I did say IF they have hockey on. I've asked and been turned down at bars here in Columbus asking to have the Jackets turned on. And sorry, I stand by my pro team. I like the Jackets but the Wings were my team decades before there was a Blue Jackets and a real fan doesn't jump ship, why do you think I'm stuck with the Browns!

Umm Browns season ticket holder here.

Meant as humor, not a true put down of our team but you know what I mean with the frustration of their lack of success since the 60's. OSU hockey fans only had to put up with Markell for 13 years. LOL!

Giving the devil his due, Markell was a big improvement over his predecessors for the first nine or ten years.

I would debate that based on a big difference in hockey then and now. Back in the early 60's our team played sometimes to a very empty house and that's in the old rink. Interest and attitude towards the sport in central Ohio was very low along with central Ohio was vastly smaller in population and I feel Markell was not so much an improvement personally but came along at the same time as an overall improvement and interest in the sport itself here coupled with large community growth. The athletic department gave him more resources than his predecessors which gave impetuous to our program along with the new arena during his tenure. But like John Cooper and football I think we went and stuck with the coaching situation a little too long before taking it to the coaching level we now have.

Oh I know it's all good. The 80;s weren't too bad. After that 94-2002 and 07 are the brighest spots-all with frustrating endings.

Anyway, Markell did take us further than anyone previously and I will always credit him for that-but the change was needed and I like the new attitude so far.
 
Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

Talk about a fast turn around for the Irish. Just last March they came to the Ice Rink (CCHA first round) and we swept including 8-2 on Sat night. Now they lead the conference-props to them. Go Bucks!

Buckeyes were actually ranked #1 in the early 80s for a spell with the Pooley brothers. After that, things went into the crapper for a good long time....really until the Frozen Four season.
