I remember after last year's hockey game with Boston College, numerous BC players coming up to Pooch and giving him a big hug cuz he was a big part in them going to BC. So obviously hes making impacts on a lot of players and there are only the few disgruntled scratch players who are coming out and s...

We all know that Casey Jones (Markel's assistant) does all the coaching at OSU and Markel is just there for a pretty face behind the bench.

I still don't believe the real question to this thread has been answered yet...how does ShaneFalco have so much hockey credibility? and which player was he that was cut recently or underperformed while probably spending too many nights after games or practices at Ziggys worrying about his beer pong ...

I don't know if you brought it up yet, but Jim Swaney was another Rocket who had some NBA experience. He didn't actually play in a game, but I believe he was with the Philadelphia 76ers for a little bit. I remember when he scored 40 points on Bill Laimbeer when UT played Notre Dame in the NCAA Tourn...

You were pretty generous to the forwards giving them an "A". More like a "C" with Foster, Matsumoto and Falk earning "A's". Too many missed breakaways, scoring chances, lack of production from the other three lines, and games where the forwards couldn't win a faceoff if...

James Jahnke is a former egg sucker. Wrote hockey for the State News at MSU a few years. Unfortunately for them though he moved on and now they're stuck with some real egg suckers doing it. I use to enjoy reading some of his stuff on the web I'd get off USCHO and stuff when BG would play them or I j...

I think my favorite arenas I go to each year are Lawson at WMU, Munn for sure and Yost. BG Ice Arena has to be 4th to those. I dislike going to Ohio State and Notre Dame because of their shitty atomospheres and although Ferris isn't a bad arena....I just don't like having no bleachers on the one who...

I saw this article on Rob Blake in the paper this morning. I thought it was pretty cool...talks about how his season is going and how he and his line mate John-Michael Liles have a little rivalry going on this weekend.

I've been thinking hard about this topic the past few weeks. I'm trying to decide who BG's one true rival is in hockey. My conclusion right now has to be Michigan State, but i know you could make arguments for OSU, Miami, Michigan, and Notre Dame. Even the outside one with UNO and us being their &qu...

These two games againt Michigan State are going to be huge for BG. Last two league games before the long December break....they need to get some momentum built up in the CCHA. Last couple years this series has finished with a split. With MSU struggling with injuries and people leaving school though,...

Northern is pretty good this season..they return a lot of their frontliners and have that deep defensive core of theirs back with Oystrick, Waugh, and now converted forward Jamie Milam. They had a tough 4 games prior to playing us where they got swept by Michigan State and Michigan, but they were on...

I know the numbers aren't there right now for Jimmy, but he's doing a good job and getting better with each game. He's allowed a lot of goals, but a lot of that has been bad defensive play in front of him where d-men are getting too far into the offensive zone. Even Jordan Sigalet wouldn't have kept...

BG needs to get rid of this Thursday-Friday stuff too. I mean hell ND can't fill their rink on a Saturday night let alone Thursday night. The arena is going to be dead...there won't be any atmosphere for any team to build off of. It just hasn't been a good experience for BG....OSU walked out of the ...

Tim Maxwell not only played in the scrimmage, but he scored one of the only goals. He should be a nice addition to the D-core next season. I just hope McIlrath can stay healthy he has had knee problems the last two seasons now....but if he is healthy he should be like another Svendson out there for ...

He deserved it!! He looked unstoppable on Friday night with that goal and 4 assists and I think we'll be seeing performances like that from him a lot this season. Him and Matsy are going to have big years and I think they'll flirt with 40 or 50 points this season, which would be nice cuz we haven't ...
