Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 So, Ohio State is gonna blow this season...I witnessed a 7-2 thrashing at the hands of a much more talented Minnesota team last night...how's your team looking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mannysBETTER3434 1 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 Well I go to Ferris State, and I think they will be average in the CCHA this year, but there seems to always be a suprise CCHA team every year and FSU could possilby be that team. O'Keefe is a real good goalie, and they have some goal scorers, but they don't always show up to play. As for U-M I have high hopes for them. MSU will be tough...just got my tickets for the their 1st match up at Yost yesterday! U-M's biggest question is in goal with Sauer. If he steps up as he is expected the sky is the limit for the team. Don't feel bad to long Hockeytown Red Wings...you just got Palmer who is a VERY GOOD goalie. I've actually seen him play sevreal times for the USA NTPD team in Ann Arbor, and I was impressed.

BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 MSU is off to a slow start. They thottled WMU for their opener at Munn, but lost at Lawson the next day. Then they got beat by a very talented U-18 team this week. Once the Spartans get rolling, I'm not too worried. Their first and second lines can hang with anyone in the CCHA, and probably anyone in college hockey. The third and fourth lines are a little weak though. So far the defense seems to be pretty good, despite losing Potter and Nightengale. I just wish Drew Miller stuck around for his senior year though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strangely they got smoked by both New Hampshire and Alaska-Anchorage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Off-topic - shoud be another horribly losing season for WSU. Edited October 24, 2006 by lordstanleyofpreston Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mannysBETTER3434 1 Report post Posted October 30, 2006 Bad weekend for my teams...FSU gets slept by Alaska, and U-M lays an egg by spliting with Northeastern. U-M had 47 shots in their 3-2 lose today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted October 30, 2006 Michigan State won both their games this weekend, beating St. Lawrence 5-3, and Sacred Heart 7-5. I like the sweep, and I like how many goals the Spartans got. However, giving up 5 goals to Sacred Heart is not good. I really hope MSU isn't playing down to their competition, like they were a few years ago. Last year it finally looked like they broke that habit. One of the best rivialries in college hockey takes place this weekend, Michigan State and Michigan. Friday's game is at Munn at Saturday's is at Yost. Michigan will be missing Jack Johnson for Friday's game. The Spartans have an 8 game unbeaten streak going against the Weasels, dating back to 2004. Here's hoping they can continue. GO GREEN!

I went to a MSU/UM game at Yost during the 04-05 season, it was amazing. It was the game where Drew Miller scored the tying goal with 1.3 seconds left. I'm predicting MSU wins at home, and the game at Yost is a tie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to be at Yost/Munn when they play. I've been at Yost for easy games and its wild. I also went to Munn last year to watch MSU play OSU...that was wild too. Couldn't imagine what it will be like Friday/Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted November 6, 2006 Another great series. Hockey is clearly the best MSU/UM rivalry. Football and basketball are too one-sided. Hockey, the teams are always close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I completley agree. There is also much more respect for each other between fans and players which I really like. Most U-M/MSU played with each other growing up in travel hockey and Juinors which also makes it fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mannysBETTER3434 1 Report post Posted November 11, 2006 MSU KILLED Ferris tonight. FSU had twice as many shots as them, but Lerg play AMAZING! (38 saves) Abdelkader made some very nice plays making the score 6-0. On Tuesday they tied 2-2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icer 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) MSU KILLED Ferris tonight. FSU had twice as many shots as them, but Lerg play AMAZING! (38 saves) Not to take anything away from Lerg's performance but Ferris was in "chuck everything at the net and hopefully we'll get a lucky bounce" mode. Lots of weak shots from impossible angles. They had very few quality scoring chances. MSU has a big series this weekend aganst a strong Notre Dame team. Man, I thought I'd never make that statement. Until recently ND was the doormat of the CCHA. They've made huge strides with that program this year. Edited November 15, 2006 by Icer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Johnson was amazing on Friday but didn't really stand out at all on Saturday. Yeah Saturday they smoked them. I was at both games. Johnson did play very well, Hensick did as well. The person that suprised me the most was Billy Sauer. Gotta give FSU's O'keefe some credit. He did all he could to keep Michigan off the board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
