Almost through the first period, tOSU leads 1 - 0.

'Cats are still allergic to shooting the puck.

End of 1, and the score is the same. 1 - 0 tOSU.

Shots are 14 tOSU to 6 NMU.

'Cats are still allergic to firing the puck, looking to make too many passes.

Start of the second.

How boring is this game? Here's a summary of my Tweets and Facebook updates involving the game:







... Yep, that's all of 'em.


About three minutes into the second period. A lot of nothing. No physicality (thankfully), no shooting, no pressure from either team. Even the usually excited Dave Danis has a monotone narration going.

14:40 to go in the second. Buckeyes throwing the puck on net an awful lot again tonight. Ellingson has been stellar.


Speaking of that, Buckeyes test Ellingson's lateral movement, and Reid makes a HUGE save. Still 1 - 0 tOSU lead.

tOSU scores. 2 - 0 now.

I really don't give a * anymore.

Re: NMU @ Ohio St. 11/12/11

Ellingson makes 19 saves on 21 shots before being relieved by Coreau. It's only midway through the second.

'Cats aren't shooting. 'Cats aren't playing defense.

Nothing going right for the 'Cats. Passes to phantom teammates, losing edges left and right, trying to pass THROUGH opposing players...


Boy the boys sure learned a lot watching the Chicago Blackhawks / Columbus Blue Jackets game... it's a shame that they decided to emulate the Blue Jackets.


Just over two minutes to go in the second. Still 2 - 0 tOSU.

Watching this game online, this is two of the worst periods of hockey I have watched.

The word "dumpster-fire" is pretty appropriate.

I wouldn't want to be in that locker room during intermission...

There's a point where Walt just doesn't say anything. It's that fatherly "I'm so pi**ed at you, and you know you fu**ed up, that nothing needs to be said."



And the 2nd period comes to an end. Thankfully.

Shots are 31 to 8 in tOSU's favor.

Yes, a 23 shot difference.

Re: NMU @ Ohio St. 11/12/11

You would think a game where we had one penalty would be a blowout for us...

Re: NMU @ Ohio St. 11/12/11

2-1 on a goal from Walchuk set up by a good Seckel steal.

Cherny is injured and not moving well....Follmer to the box on a roughing penalty.

Re: NMU @ Ohio St. 11/12/11

Now 3-1 on an OSU goal after the Follmer penalty.

Re: NMU @ Ohio St. 11/12/11

4-1. Think I'm turning the game off.
