Re: Ohio State Buckeyes 2018-19
Tried to watch for this in the Saturday game. Didn't really see any evidence of Bulldogs being timid about shooting. Of course a Buckeye fan will have a natural inclination to credit the Buckeye Defense when a shot is passed up, rather than question the opposing shooters.
I dunno. Maybe having to face Maddie Rooney everyday in practice has caused the Bulldogs to be just a little too fine with their shots? Meaning an internalized belief that a shot has to be perfect to have a chance. You've seen much more of the Bulldogs than I have; and would know better than I...
Busy hockey weekend for sure. Nice results over at the Schott, to say the least. That said, I've tried to meet my "publication deadline" a little more consistently this season -- even when there are some worthy distractions.
Now there's an East/West match-up to be thankful for. Anyone have streaming info?
Well, I don't think you can hand off setbacks like a hot potato.
It's also much too early to be writing anyone off. Lots of hockey still to be played. Time will tell whether this weekend's results have a big impact on the final standings & rankings. Or not.
But I'm not going to deny the self-evident. It's really nice to have these two games in the win column. The resulting credibility is to be savored. Cramping the skeptics' style feels good. Even if no one was saying the Buckeyes were done for the year, a rough weekend does tend to bring the skeptics out of the woodwork.

I will look forward to your Three Stars for today's game whenever you get them up.
The Bulldogs travel to Clarkson to take on the Golden Knights in a big non-league series on 11/23 - 11/24.
As for today's game and this weekend as a whole, I will paraphrase a Mark Twain quote ... "Reports of the OSU Women's Hockey team's demise have been greatly exaggerated!"
