Checking today's Dispatch, Schwarzenegger signs a new bill to allow a stadium in L.A., Emmanuel Lewis appears in commercials for Denny's and a huge article on Chelios's minor league career. Nothing on OSU hockey.

I know it is early but it looks like the goaltending is holding up but not enough scoring. Anyone have info on the game?

Bucks carried play for some stretches through much of the game, but had let-down periods (perhaps due to extended shifts/gassing?). Cycled the puck well and pretty good defensive support by the forwards. IMHO, the PP goal and the GWG by Lake State were not great - both were totally unscreened and from a good distance out (top of the circle for the GWG). Critical point in the game was with about 1:20 left - several Buckeyes had been on the ice for a minute or so and the puck was iced, so they were stuck. Markell should have (IMHO) taken his time-out but didn't. Same guys stuck out for 20-30 seconds more, and when there was an opportunity for a change we got caught and LSSU scored the game winner. This was a coaching strategy loss as much as anything.

Sounds like a bad coaching move, but when you give up goals in the first 20 seconds and the last 20 seconds of the 3rd your not going to win many of those games. Will we see heeter tonight and another bucks victory?

I didn't pay attention to whether players were out too long, but I thought the Lakers won individual battles a lot last night and I wouldn't say the carried play much at all. I think it would be unfair to lay this loss on one possible coaching mistake when based on the game I saw, the final score could have been worse than a 1-goal affair.

The Laker goals were great shots, although like was said, they weren't screened. I also have to say I don't like the OSU jerseys. Much too plain for me.
 
Re: Ohio State U. ( 2009-2010 )

I will take the weekend split after how we played on Friday.

Friday Game = All LSSU. :(


Saturday Game = All OSU. :)


I think Cal Heeter has the edge over Dustin Carlson. Time will tell. It's good to have two goalies making each other play harder.


So far , The only weekend series I want to do over is our home opener. That double loss may be the one that haunts us. :eek:

Not a solid weekend but a split on the road we will take it. Ive said before teh season if Heeter is given the chance he would take the job. I dont have a problem with Dusty i just think heeter will be him out.
 
Re: Ohio State U. ( 2009-2010 )

Good Point.


Maybe Coach will play Cal Heeter more on the Conference weekends and play Dustin Carlson more on Non-Conference weekends. Time will tell. It's just good to have two hard working goalies. :)

Re: Ohio State U. ( 2009-2010 )

I'll give the two a bit of a break, since they were both freshmen at the time, but the season when Palmer/Filion was the best the Bucks had, the team had no confidence in either and was a huge factor that pitiful season. I think Heeter/Darlson are close to being equal, everybody seems to have confidence in both.

Would liked to have a sweep at Lake St., since a split will be mighty difficult this WE. Anyone going. I might. Leave Columbus around 10:00. Watch most of the football at Toledo sports bar. South Bend-hockey-mass-home= long day.
 
Re: Ohio State U. ( 2009-2010 )

What's the " SCOOP " on this weekend games VS. the FIGHTING IRISH. :cool:


I will take my normal split and nothing worse , anything else is " BONUS. " :)
 
Well, Tom Connerty would be an exception

IIRC, Markell abandoned Filion pretty early. Then he became waaaayyyyy to dedicated to "Rebound" Joe Palmer.

I'm actually pleased to see him platooning his goaltenders--something he has been reluctant to do. His aversion to doing so in the past this has always puzzled me a little since 1) there were times I thought he overworked the "main" goalie (Mike Betz, anyone?) and 2) he grew up playing for Ron Mason who rotated Mike Liut and Al Sarachman during Markell's years at Bowling Green.

Over the weekend, I caught the Minnesota-Denver games on the dish, and there was some interesting discussion about having a two-goalie system (something the Gophers may have this year). In essence, the commentators argued that by doing so, over the course of the year both goalies stay fresh and prepared for game situations--an important element in case one gets injured or sick, it makes both goalies play better (since they are pushing each other all the time), and opposing teams have to adopt to two different goalie styles for a series.

And just because Dusty doesn't have a win yet doesn't mean I'd move him to "back-up" status. Look at last year's weasel team, when Hogan and Sauer split time. Sauer's win/loss record was abysmal (relative to the overall team record), but, for some reason, the team up north just couldn't find the back of the net when he was in goal.

As for Carlson and Heeter: John, play 'em both against the domers.
 
Re: Ohio State U. ( 2009-2010 )

I think we will see Heeter friday night if they win he plays on Saturday night if not Dusty plays. I dont have a problem with the rotation of goalies, but if one gets hot then play the hot hand.

Looking ahead, way ahead, Southwest Airlines has $75 tix to Omaha Feb 5th. Sunday, Feb 7th back to Columbus are $92. The $75 is a short term offer.
Non-stop both ways.

Ummmm, don't think so. Prices are right, but I find both ways connect through Midway, not nonstop. :( I long for the good old days of Skybus when you could fly nonstop to Kansas City for ten bucks, have some GREAT barbecue, then make the drive to Omaha. And the brewpub in the Old Market area of Omaha isn't bad either. :)
