Game Thread: Northern Michigan vs. BGSU

[PegCityFalcon]

Yea...Only one game can I remember a BG team with some of these players on it actually thinking that they should and would win easily. That game RIT two years ago (only Matzy showed up.) Don't know where or why anyone would believe this BG team would get cocky after two straight awful last place seasons.

We agree on that PEG, i think these guys know that they will sadly only be as popular as the most recent victory and that they stand good chance to be shat upon by some should they drop one. upsie is that they are motivated and playing very well, and I am very much looking forward to their heads up hockey this weekend and it sure seems 99% of everyone on here is as well.
Sadly it doesn't seem that there has been to much interest in tickets...but the big ticket night has always been game night...so we will have to wait and see on the crowds.

25 short hours till the game is underway and we are all highly entertained and thrilled again!

Good side by side comparison of the BG and NMU

Hope this isn't a bad omen

Hey that was good information and real good article.
I do agree that for some strange reason the CCHA as a whole has issues come NCAA playoff time, and that our refs are to tightly wound. I wish the refs would lay a bit more but it is what it is and at least they are consistent about it.
a good read with 10 1/2 hours to go.

with our power play clicking. I don't mind seeing every penalty being called. The one thing I can say about the refs is that they are consistant. They seem to evenly call the games. Yes, they call many small things, but it goes both ways, and whats more exciting in hockey 5-5 or 5-4.

Seeing BG run up the score!!!!

[BGSU Crazy Fan 58]

I'm pretty pumped for the game tonight. I hope we come out and play well and keep it going on the powerplay. Who do you think gets the start in net? I think Eno will get his first home start of the season and then BG will come back with Spratt tomorrow night. Let's Rock the Rink! Go Falcons! Sweep the 'Cats!!!!!!!!!!

[MACMAN]

I was wondering about this and I was leaning towards the thought that Sprat would get the start tonight followed by Eno on Sat, since Eno started the first game of the last series.
PAINt That FACE go hardcore ORANGE!!

[PegCityFalcon]

I think we will see Jimmy in Tonight with Nick in tommarow giving Jimmy the Tuesday game at Notre Dame as well.

I'll be in the chat room if anyones to chat or catch updatdes.

BG up 2-0 early.


Edit* Now 3-0. Whitmore is on a tear as he scores the 1st and 3rd goals. Maxwell scores the 2nd. BG lookin good.

[MACMAN]

WOW! I heard the first two goals on my way to the HS game, and got oout in time to hear the big W get his second hat trick in as many nights!!!!
A 4-2 win. These guys are playing AWESOME.

I would like to know what the crowd was like i hope some one can get on here and let me know...were going tomorrow night...maybe the announcers will put it out

We hold 4th all alone

I hope by consistent, you mean consistently bad. The CCHA has some seriously inconsistent refs that call some penalties for no other reason than to equal the power play opportunities. Makes for horrible hockey in my book.
