Re: Subway Holiday Classic (Miami, North Dakota, tOSU, Bemidji)
Well this should be a fun tourney this up coming weekend.
Goon, good to see you. You buying me a beer this weekend?
I hate to say it but OSU is going to be facing an angry beast on friday...
Watched BSU against Minny last weekend and they move the puck well, they are quick but all in all they are similar to last years team in the FF. Main improvement which would have some cause for concern is they move the puck a lot better. Last year they relied a lot on their speed to go end to end or dump and chase but not so much now.
As for UND, they are what we expected a very good team. And they actually started the year out well instead of their patent second half run. Miami matches up well with UND. Both teams are physical and quick, have good goaltending and a lot of playmakers.
I for one hope Chay plays, he is a fun player to watch and I want UND at full strenght so their can be no excuses either way. Interesting thing for Miami is who will start in net? Also Coach has rotated the line up quite often this year so it will be interesting to see which line up he puts out their.
Wingles has been playing well, as have Miele and Palmer. Miele and Palmer might be the best PK combo in the country with the offensive chances they create while SH. Camper scored his first goal in over a month last night and has been taking more shots, hopefully a sign he is coming out of his swoon.
Either way both Miami games should be hard fought and competitive. Not sure what you guys should expect out of OSU, they have struggled this year.
