Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

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

Very disappointing there goes 4-6th place. Now a win tomorrow is needed to assure 7th and a Date with the spartans in the barn next weekend. 1 point ties them with Lake St. and they would need miami to sweep the lakers to get 8th. 2 points they need miami to get 5 or more points to get them 8th.

That 2nd period was awful to many turnovers and stupid penalties all night. I thought boyd was going to shoot that puck in the 3rd on that 2 on 1. That penalty on CJ which led to the 2nd goal was a terrible call the guy turned at the last minute and Sandborn who is 100 feet away makes the call and surgott who is 10 does not. They had so many chances to win it in OT just couldnt burry the big goal.
 
Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

Agreed, bad calls. They stood up Boyd wasn't it, on open ice who was trying to get to the puck after sending it in and no call, we make a legitimate hit against the boards and we get called for interference. I thought we might get a break tonight not having Wilkins or Sheggos here but I guess I was wrong.
 
Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

Here's to you guys pulling 3 pts tomorrow!!

You have a much improved squad, you can do it!

Sincerely,

Everyone at Northern

They were running interference all night long with it not being called. Sandborn just flat out sucks hes hosed them before. I wasnt sure if the guy Somma hit touched the puck or not. i thought he was going to get called for hit to the head which i would have said good call but interference i disagree with totally.

I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I'd almost swear it was like the officials had instructions to sabotage us. Either that or I agree Sanborn is just a plain idiot.

Despite all the angst, the point earned last night is nice to have. Because Alaska has completed its conference schedule, the Buckeyes would now finish ahead of the Nanooks with a 3 point win tonight. That translates to no worse than 8th Place and home ice for the first round. Finishing higher is always better, of course. But when sizing up the potential match-ups, avoiding travel in the first round appears to be important.
 
Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

What I noticed in the Thursday nights game was the Bucks scored in the 1st period and had nice hustle and controled the flow. Then they come out in the 2nd and play like they have a 5-0 lead!!!!! The only thing good about the game was when they tied it up to carry into OT.
I was hoping to get the 3 points on Thursday to take off some pressure for Friday. Let's get the 3 points on the last game of the season. The big ten network and Buckeye Vision internet feed has been really clear and good this year. GO BUCKS GO. It's HOCKEY NIGHT in Canada. Eh.
 
Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

What a pathetic performance tonight in a game you are playing for home ice next weekend. I dont know how else to say about it just awful from the coaching on down. Maybe its just me but the game is tied at 1 with 4 minutes to go and you have your 3rd and 4th lines on the ice back to back shifts? If i didnt know who the coach was i would assume Markell is still back there. Im all for playing your guys but with the game and home ice on the line you have to put your best players on the ice but he is the coach and im just sitting in the stands. I havent had to many complaints about coach OZ this season and i think he has done a great job with the team but this just baffels me. Well on to Lake state i hope.
 
Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

We seemed to be holding our own until Krough's boarding penalty to give Ferris the 5 minute PP which they drew first blood on. Some of the other of what I thought were mental errors was again taking shots from along the boards as soon as the blue line was crossed, a low percentage play especially when the goalie is squared and ready for you. When we did take better shots we were way off target, if they were hoping for deflections you have to have a man in the general vicinity to make the deflection. When we did score it was doing what has worked best for us lately, crashing the net. I thought we were playing to cautious at times with the center on the blue line with the defensemen allowing the wings to do all the grunt work along the boards getting overwhelmed with numbers. No sense breaking down our power play, it was obvious for all to see. :(

Too many stupid penalites all weekend long killed them. I to thought they played not to lose and when you do that guess what you lose more times then you win. They spent 7:23 of the 2nd period shorthanded and came out of it only down 1-0. I can not understand for the life of me why so many shots from way outside with no one in front of the net you are not going to score from there on most goalies especially one as good as nagle. Now next weekend they may be without 2 top 6 D-men with krough having to sit out 2 with the DQ and may be Geding he didnt return after being injured in the 2nd. So that will probably force Dries back to Defense and bring in Martell to replace the other.
 
Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

I was there tonight and it looked like last year's team out there. Stupid penalties, guys winding up and shooting at the blue line, shots that had absolutely NO chance of getting through a goalie like Nagle. Then, in the third period we start dumping the puck. The problem was, we didn't actually have anyone getting to those dumps. I don't know if we are fatigued, but it looked like we were giving up on the puck too easily. I just did not see the energy that this team was exhibiting earlier this season. I hate to say it with a first year coach here, but it appears that this team actually regressed after the Miami sweep. Hopefully Coach Oz has some recruits coming in who will get us back on track next season. It was disappointing to see the team come out and play like this with home ice on the line for the playoffs.

You can always turn to Belanger and Folkes on defense, wait no, Oz ran those two offthe team(among others) and now it is ccoming back to bite him

No doubt they regressed. Grade-wise I give Oz a "C". Actually it was "D" work. but I'm giving him extra credit for the Miami sweep
 
Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

This series went two steps backwards!!!! I think the best the Bucks played all year as a team was right after the Christmas break up until about a month ago. I don't think the Bucks are going to far in the playoffs , but there is always hope for a MIRACLE.

I'm looking forward and excited for next year because Coach OZ has some good D-Men coming in with some good Forwards and 2 good goalies. I wonder what's up with Goalie Heeter next year? Will he move onto a pro farm club team or be back for his Senior year? GO BUCKS GO.
 
Re: Ohio State 2010/2011 - No way but up.

So, IF we get past the first round against the Lakers who would you rather see us play next, Michigan, ND, or Miami?
