The Ohio State 2016-17 Thread: Let's give this another Schott

Re: The Ohio State 2016-17 Thread: Let's give this another Schott

The wife asked me the same thing about Healey, whether he would have to sit out or not. if he does end up sitting, well, he has himself and his repeated head shots to blame for that. I am ecstatic that we are in, glad I was wrong about that. I just hope we realize the opportunity that has been presented to us. This team has realized one of its goals. Let's win some more games! I believe this team has the talent to make noise in the NCAA Tournament, which is why I didn't think setting it out was acceptable this season.

So, do we send Penn State a thank you card or what? Because if we do we'll have to send one to Massachusetts-Lowell as well!

After five months of trying USCHO finally found a way to update my password. Nothing like missing most of the season. Thank you to one of the reporters on this site for giving me an actual phone number to resolve this problem.

Obviously happy about making the NCAA field, but two things really bug me about this team. First is the inconsistency already discussed here. The second is the consistency with which Healey goes for head shots. Probably don't have to worry about this because IIRC after the third one a player is gone for the season.

If it were earlier in the season a third thing would bug me - the inability to dominate anybody in the Schott. It seemed like every time I showed up excited to watch the team at home they left their competitiveness in the locker room.

Hoping the Cincinnati scenario plays out so I can attend, but Fargo will be a much harsher environment and this team seems to do better in the harshest places.

Here's the problem, if Brevig is going to be out with his re-injured thumb we NEED Healey as our defense is lacking enough even when it is full strength!
He HAS to get the message that brains, not brawn are the key to advancing in the NCAA's.

NCAA Rule Book:

22.2 Suspensions - A player who receives three (3) game misconduct penalties
in the same season (including exhibition games) shall not be permitted
to play in the team’s next regular-season or tournament game against
an NCAA member institution. For each additional game misconduct
penalty (e.g. four, five, etc.) assessed to the same player in the same season,
the player shall be suspended for one (1) additional game. This shall not
be part of a progressive penalty structure. Exhibition games cannot be
used to fulfill the suspension for this violation.

Then we best hope Brevig can play because Josh doing what HE WANTED TO DO may have once again hamstrung his team!

I just don't really understand why they sent Michigan Tech here and us to Fargo. I guess Denver is the higher seed and Michigan Tech is the lower one? First of all, given that Duluth just beat Denver I don't think Denver should be the higher seed. Second of all, for the sake of attendance it would have made much more sense to swap us and Tech.

Duluth didn't just beat Denver.

We never get sent anywhere close. Michigan always got sent to Grand Rapids.
We need to simply earn the higher seeding I guess and not get in on other team's misfortunes.

Excellent points, all of them ... inconsistency, Healey's repeated head shots, and not showing up at home. All three of those things drove me nuts all season. Really wish we would have gotten sent to Cincinnati, but then, beggars can't be choosers. We didn't do enough this season to earn that. The only reason we are in is because other teams lost. I am with you on the Fargo environment. Based on the results to this point, I agree with you that this team will do better in the harsh environment in Fargo.
