Sorry for the late start this week. I've been trying to get everything arranged for the drive down to Mobile. This is definitely a tale of 2 different teams at this point in the season. Miami is playing their best hockey of the year right now while BG can't buy a win. I think for BG to win we're going to need Whitty to step up big this weekend. I'm saying we split.

i can envision a split. especially with our horrific record at the bgsuir. i can't offer any specific insight on whether nathan davis will play, but based on the depth and talent of this miami team, a sweep in our favor wouldn't shock me. we are 9-0 away from the Goggin Ice Center including a sweep of MSU earlier this season.

I would have voted for zero points, but for one reason or another its not available.

Because I'm trying to be optimistic.

according to the bg release...

overall, the Falcons own a 57-31-7 advantage, but they are 1-7-2 against the RedHawks in the last 10 meetings, dropping seven-straight in the series

i did not realize we have won 7 straight vs. the falcon.

+1. The Redhawks are just that good, and for whatever reason we just can't seem to win the close ones right now.

I'll be the first one to be glad i was wrong. great game tonight.

Nothing better than coming on here and reading that we won and then reading back through all the people who said "IT'S HOPELESS! THEY'RE TOO GOOD! WE'RE GOING TO LOSE EVERYTHING."

How's that pessimism doing?

Great Players + Great Coaches + Great Fans = A returning of Falcon Hockey

+1 once again. I was dead wrong on this one, good job Falcons! GET THE SWEEP!
