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."

[SicSic80]

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)

[PegCityFalcon]

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).

[WhoDeyBG]

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.
