Ohio State Buckeyes 2016-2017

I'm with blackbeard on this one. That Red Army team passed so fast and so accurately that their one-timers were deadly. I often wonder how many saves Tretiak (to my mind the best there was at the time) would have made against them. Not well I believe. Team Canada did manage to beat them but it was took them a while ti figure out how to disrupt the passes and reduce the 'tic-tac-toe to where a human goalie could stand a chance.

I remember how shocked we were when the Soviets won the first game 7-3. Their speed and passing was unbelievable. The second game with Mahovlich, Cashman, Bergman and Co. hitting everything that moved slowed the Soviets down and Canada won 4-1. Esposito replacing 1st game goalie Dryden outplayed Tretiak, too.
 
Re: Ohio State Buckeyes 2016-2017

It was definitely not Kassidy's best night, and in talking to her after the game, she knew it. Kassidy wasn't the only one to have an off night. The girls knew they didn't play their best. They had played so well this season to this point, they were sort of due to have a game like this. I told some of the girls after the game that every team has one like this every once in a while. They will be back ready to go tomorrow. For tonight, let's give some credit to the 3rd-ranked Bulldogs. Ohio State was off their game tonight, and the Bulldogs ended this one early with four goals in the first period. The Bulldogs just smothered the Bucks all night and did not allow many quality scoring chances. UMD would add single tallies in the second and third periods to make the final score 6-0. The SOG were 41-27 in favor of Minnesota-Duluth. Goaltenders Maddie Rooney and Catherine Johnson combined for the shutout for the Bulldogs. Rooney had 20 saves and Johnson had 7. For the Buckeyes, Kassidy Sauve stopped 15 of the 19 shots she faced in the first period. She was relieved by freshman netminder Kaylee Remington who saved 20 of the 22 shots she faced. UMD's goals were scored by Lara Stalder, Sydney Brodt (2), Katherine McGovern (2), and Brooklyn Schugel. The two teams are back at it tomorrow at 1:07 pm EST. I am going to copy this from the recap for the UMD fans or other fans going tomorrow ...

A reminder to fans planning on attending the game: you will need to park in a day-of-game lot for a $20 fee due to the home football game. A parking map can be found here: http://go.osu.edu/Parking.

Sauve culture on hiatus tonight showing just a wee bit of a talent gap...;)

Coming from you, this is good natured ribbing. But the "literal" truth:

Regarding the Talent Gap, the best response is: Of course.

But the "One Woman Team" thing simply isn't true, literally or figuratively. Last weekend the Buckeyes played well as a team, despite coming up just short. Last night, they played poorly as a team.


Nice accomplishments by the Bulldogs last night. For further details, see the 3 Stars post on the WCHA thread.

Glad you got that it was good natured ribbing. Ohio States has some talent and given some time under Muzerall the program will get better.
 
Re: Ohio State Buckeyes 2016-2017

I only watched the first period of today's game against UMD. But it looks like the Buckeyes came back and made some noise in the third period. Outshot the Bulldogs 17-8 and came within 3-2.

Ya they kept fighting. Once again they kind of had to weather a storm of shots, but they actually managed to generate a few good stretches of offense in the 3rd. Definitely a lot of work to be done, but after last night what I saw today was pretty encouraging.
 
Re: Ohio State Buckeyes 2016-2017

THe Bucks played much better today. After a scoreless first period, the Bulldogs got two goals in the second period from Maria Lindh and Ashleigh Brykaliuk and took that 2-0 lead into the third period. Ohio State would get a goal from Maddy Field to cut the lead in half, but UMD would come back with a goal from Sidney Morin to push the lead back out to 3-1. Sidney's goal would turn out to be the game-winner as Samantha Bouley would score for the Buckeyes to cut the lead to 3-2. The Buckeyes could not get the equalizer and that is how it ended. SOG favored Minnesota-Duluth 47-27. Buckeye goaltender Kassidy Sauve stopped 44 of the 47 shots she faced. For the Bulldogs, Maddie Rooney stopped 25 of the 27 shots she faced. The Buckeyes will host Lindenwood next weekend.

Once again, the 3 Stars are out on "The Morning After." Among other things, there's a compelling World Series going on. See the WCHA thread.
 
Re: Ohio State Buckeyes 2016-2017

The Buckeyes are getting a break from the WCHA schedule and are taking on the Lindenwood Lions this weekend. The Buckeyes got off to a slow start tonight, but finished well with a 4-0 win. Sophomore forward Maddy Field opened the scoring for the Buckeyes. The other OSU goals were scored by sophomore forward Ariana DePinto, freshman defenseman Katie Mikkelsen (first goal as a Buckeye), and junior forward Julianna Iafallo got an empty netter. The Bucks won the shots on goal battle 34-32. RS-sophomore netminder Kassidy Sauve stopped all 32 shots she faced. Lindenwood goaltender Jolene deBruyn earned 30 saves for the Lions. The two teams are back at it tomorrow at 2:07 pm EST. Due to a home football game tomorrow, those who are attending the game will need to park in day-of-game lots for a $20 fee. Good luck to both teams tomorrow!
 
Re: Ohio State Buckeyes 2016-2017

Unfortunately I was watching the debacle over at the Schott so I missed tonight's game. Looking forward to tomorrow and hopefully a sweep. Winning the shots on goal battle for a change is really nice to see. Let's face it, Lindenwood isn't great, but getting experience and getting comfortable with the puck in the offensive zone can only help as we move back into that WCHA schedule.

I was surprised to see Sauve in net to-night, thought it would be a good opportunity for other girls to play. Lindenwood is better than some people give them credit for, nice to see OSU in the win column with scoring being spread out.
 
Re: Ohio State Buckeyes 2016-2017

Ohio State finishes the sweep today over Lindenwood by a final score of 3-0. Sophomore defenseman Lauren Boyle scored all three of the Buckeyes' goals to record her first career hat trick as a Buckeye! RS-sophomore Kassidy Sauve stopped all 25 shots she faced from Lindenwood. The Buckeyes won the SOG battle 26-25. Morgan Skinner started the game in net for the Lions and saved 5 of the 7 shots she faced, but was pulled toward the end of the first period. Jolene deBruyn came in and stopped all 16 shots she faced. Lauren Boyle's final goal was an empty netter. Next up for Ohio State will be a trip to St. Cloud to take on the Huskies.

Wow, a defenseman scoring all three of a team's goals in a shutout win is quite the accomplishment for a player at any level, let alone D1. Congrats to Miss Boyle.
 
Re: Ohio State Buckeyes 2016-2017

Solid all around team win. Odd to say when only one player scores but still. Defence was solid again. Lindenwood got a few good shots off, but not many. In a game that didn't really have a ton of offence, I thought we did a good job keeping the pressure on and stopping LU from ever being able to set up and get comfortable. Really hope this weekend will be a good confidence booster as we head out west again. If we play as well against St. Cloud and Minnesota State as we did on the road at Wisco and Bemidji, we should come away with at least a couple of W's.

Lauren was all over the ice this weekend, as were a number of our players. It was nice to see her and the girls get rewarded for the hard work they and the coaching staff put in. It's really neat to see us have several defensemen who can handle the puck and score. I am really enjoying watching this team get better each time out.

I think we will get points the next couple weekends. I am not going to get on here and predict sweeps, but I agree that we should get a couple of W's. This team is clearly improving and I am enjoying the process. All the Minnesota folks who said we got a good one (coach) were spot on. I am very pleased with the job Coach Muzerall is doing so far. I know the girls really like her and will work hard for her. Wish I could get to more road trips! We're heading out to Penn State for the games on 1/6 & 1/7.

Before we hit the road and put the Lindenwood series in the rear view mirror, check out Saturday's 3 Stars over on the WCHA thread.

You can count on that, Pgb! I live for those and really miss them when the girls are on the road! :)
