vs. Ferris State (2/3 & 2/4)

[jpfalcon09]

There's a home hockey series this weekend. Go Falcons.

[pdt1081]

It's Ferris. If it's close going into the third it could be trouble.

Need more than 3 points this weekend. A sweep is ideal but isn't realistic to expect, so 3+ has to be the goal.

Would love to get back to our winning ways this weekend and see Tech or Mankato slip up. I'm really gunning for that 2 seed (or better) to ensure we would host a semifinal playoff game, should we get to that point.

I have to imagine we are pretty close to being mathematically locked into home ice for the CCHA quarterfinals?

Fyten is in tonight’s lineup. We’ll see how long he goes.

I can’t believe I’m rooting for Rico this weekend. What’s wrong with the cosmos?

[mbenecke]

Poor PP effort and as soon as it gets killed off, Ferris finds the back of our net. Bulldogs lead 1-0.

Our special teams… have not been very good recently, and it’s lead to mediocre results. We must figure that out.

[jpfalcon09]

Coverage in the D zone so far has been subpar.

[jpfalcon09]

2-0 as BG is sleepwalking through this one.

[mbenecke]

Ferris now up 2-0.

Get ready to be on the road for the playoffs, I guess. What a pathetic performance.

And then Ty challenges for no reason, loses, and costs himself a timeout.

Good stuff, guys.

He called that challenge to essentially get an extended timeout to talk to the team. But yeah the lack of consistent leadership with this program is maddening.

[mbenecke]

When’s the last time we scored an actual breakaway goal? Like, we get the opportunity a handful of times per game, and it feels like we NEVER convert.

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

Riley scored from center ice during the second intermission and won a prize. That may be the only goal we score tonight.

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

And if it’s the third period, Alex Barber must be in the box.

[jpfalcon09]

Three certainties in life. Death, taxes, and an Alex Barber penalty.

[mbenecke]

We’re .500 in February. This is year 4.

Disappointing, man. This isn’t supposed to be a rebuilding season. This was a program at a near 30 year peak just 4 years ago. How did we get here? And how the hell do we get out?
