I had my camera with me for the 2nd and 3rd periods of Friday's game.

It’s not good to wear orange at home. I have data! In my head. I’ve noticed that, sometimes, when our boys have lost, they wore orange. It seems true that their losing percentage is higher when wearing orange. Of course, the loss could be down to my choice of hat last night. I wore the orange shoes ...

By chance did anyone make it to the open practice yesterday morning? How did things look? I think this was the first hockey practice I’d ever seen. It consisted of drills of inceasing intensity except for a short break for Willy to talk the players. I don’t know if the drills were ones that the guy...

It seems as though BG's recruiting has declined recently, with guys coming from the NAHL instead of the USHL, so it's great that BG is at the leading edge of CHL recruiting. There might be just one shot at the edge, though. Other schools will wade into the CHL talent pool. They might have been unpre...

Mrs. BG84 and I support this. I appreciate the back support, but we found the seat bottoms to be uncomfortable and they made moving in the rows more difficult.

Fantastic!

Agreed.
Did you notice that the author is an Augustana graduate?

The CCHA website is reporting "Bowling Green 4, Michigan 1 - BGSU wins series 2-0" on its Saturday recap page.
I count 6 bits of information in that heading, and 4 of them are true!

BG averaged 3.0 goals during the 6-game winning streak and scored 4 in each of the next 2

What I love about that event is that the Miami thugs lost their minds when their goalie wasn’t even knocked off his skates. That and the assault on the way to the penalty box.

1-1 with 8:32 in the middle frame.

I don't blame Pfoh. BG had three men back but the scorer had nobody on him.

The most likely reason for the Gus scratch is that Bill Crawford the LSSU PxP guy butchers the kids name so badly it takes him a series to recover. :D I noticed that last season, and #5 has been known as "St. Jernberg" in my house ever since. I was surprised at the butchering because I've...

I took pictures again.

BG has a forecheck? I thought we were promised one, but I haven't seen it (I see only home games).
