Any clue on what the OOC scheduling will look like next year? It would be great if we could keep playing WMU and MSU, and with their conference schedules being presumably smaller they will probably be looking for quite a few games. Based on proximity and their need for games is a 1-for-1 a realistic possibility?

Thoughts and prayers to Zach Redmond, who took a nasty cut during Jets practice. Surgery after taking a skate, cutting right femoral artery. All per NHL Network, just now.

Loved watching him play here at Ferris, right from the start. Get well soon, buddy.

It was a pleasure watching Redmond when Ferris came up to the Soo.

Your new recruit Van Wormer has a non stop motor you will love him in Big Rapids.

The Ferris St AD just said that next year MSU and FSU will play in a tournament in GR called something like the college hockey hall of fame classic (don't exactly remember the name). I would be surprised if this was something Western wasn't also involved in. The contract has yet to be signed though.

FSU and UM will play each of the next three years. 13/14 @UM, 14/15 @FSU, 15/16 @ UM.

He only mentioned those two series when specifically asked about playing the B1G teams in the future.

Is Rico Blasi coaching Michigan tonight? Even the Hanson brothers couldn't goon it up like this.

Are you confused with the Ferris team that had two kneeing penalties on the weekend? Would like to hear some examples. I give Ferris credit for improving their overall style of play in recent seasons with high energy hustle and good goaltending. But that team reminds me of the late 80's Red Wings with Jacques Demers whack and hack style of play. Can't skate by a forward without a slash and a tug, and can't dump and chase past a defenseman without being escorted/obstructed five feet to the left or right.

You constantly confuse "forecheck" with goon. classic mistake

Who said anything about a forecheck? Let's talk about Motte getting run a couple of times last night.

Who said anything about a forecheck? Let's talk about Motte getting run a couple of times last night.

IIRC, your defenseman got a crosschecking penalty on one of those "runs", directly into Motte. I also remember him going out into the corner to play a puck and went out of his way to obstruct a forechecker killing a penalty. There were some scrums around the net where he got bumped, like the review on the play where the puck was covered up on the line saturday. But, I don't think there were any calls made for goaltender interference. That said...

I don't think any fan has a leg to stand on complaining about individual calls. The officiating during both games was horsebleep. Totally lost control with the extracurriculars. Alnike hit it on the head, though. Obstruction is allowed when the officials let both teams get away with it. The problem was, the cheap calls took that consistency away and the players were left wondering what they could do or what they couldn't do.

For every fan complaining about Trouba or Lynch, for instance, we can talk about Czarnowzan's dooshery. There was plenty that went around both ways. And please, explain the seven players on the ice that wasn't called in OT. I know Pi got an eyeful. If these guys were auditioning for the playoffs, or better- the WCHA/Big Ten officiating sweepstakes- they got massive fail. I thought Pochmara was one of the better officials in the league until that display this past weekend. Maybe that was just McInchak covering for him in the past.

Anyhow- I'm sure that Ferris earned a well deserved rest this weekend and, based on limited judgement of what we saw of both FSU and OSU- will do just fine in Columbus. Good luck.

The first time in YEARS we BG fans had reason to root for Ferris, and you failed.
Well, at least you pulled out all the stops. Not often you see the goalie pulled in a tie game...and I reeeealy liked the added bonus of sending on the 7th attacker. I give you "A" for effort and creativity, "D" for execution

Thanks, Ralph.

Just saw that Chris Kunitz was named NHL 1st team, if I read properly.

He also got a nice pay day but still looks to be a bargain for the Pens if he can continue to put the puck in the net next to Crosby.

Saw this on the Free Press website, and I thought it would be right up your alley. If nothing more than to help everybody pass some time in the off season.
