National Rankings

This Bulldog team looks to be pretty similar to BG right now. They swept MiAudi, true, but was that due to the Bulldogs or the Red-somethings being on a hard slide.

Statistically it's a dead heat. FSU's defense, however, is statistically better.

We won't know until the game is played.

I'll say "split."

FSU = retribution
BGSU = continue winning to build up to post-season.

Like RUIT - split.

And by the way, speaking of post-season.......ANYONE except WMU. 3 out of our 4 with them could have gone either way. (OT)

Ferris is coming on strong. They have strong goaltending. I'm feeling a FSU sweep 3-1, 4-2

OSU vs. Notre Shame : everyone's a loser in that game.


With the confidence built aftrer their first second game win (after losing the first) I think these guys will come out stronger than ever.

Their goaltending looks to be skewed a bit because of their OOC schedule.

O'Keefe is decent but he's an average goalie within the CCHA schedule.

He has some good wins under his belt, however. I see his success more stemming from their D.

Still a challenge, but I believe BG can take at least one game from FSU.

I'd rather face WMU than pretty much anybody else. They suck. They are a team that if you get a few goals ahead in the playoffs will probably just give up. All the other CCHA bottom teams have beaten us at least once this year, (LSSU, OSU, Alaska).

The LAST team I want to see in March in Alaska. Thier goaltender Rogers can win a game by himself the way he's playing lately. Luckily with a couple more points, the chances of us facing them is slim.

I have to work friday night so i can't go to game but saturday i'll be there. But no tailgating. I'm going up to Detroit for the Men's bball game then hurring back to BG for hockey!!
