    Predictions on THE Game?

    This is from a defensive player who apparently didn't realize how badly they played a year ago If they didn't see this coming, Don Brown needs to go. Every big game, the D is the ones who come up the most short.

    So it's now the 2019-2020 season....

    Two pretty crappy weekends in a row that got the team all of a single B1G point. Ugh. For a while, it looked like the D was doing pretty well, and Mann was bailing out their issues. Now, not so much- which really adds to the problem of offense. How can we have a strong 2 goal lead over a...

    So it's now the 2019-2020 season....

    This isn't looking good. Getting swept at OSU is a horrible way to start B1G play. Sounds like Mann played well, and given the score tilt, *maybe* Saturday was better than Friday- but losses are losses. And we had a 3-5 BOTH nights. Ugh.

    So it's now the 2019-2020 season....

    Home and home split with Western. The team looked pretty darned good Friday- not great, but good. Mann was THE MAN, though. Saturday- given the games against Clarkson and Lake State on Saturday, you could see a second game of the week issue. Add that to the first road game of the season...

    So it's now the 2019-2020 season....

    Sweep of Lake State. Nice. Even a shutout. Although, the D isn't nearly as good as it should be. But that also means that Strauss Mann is playing really, really well. Nice to see the offense get some goals.

    So it's now the 2019-2020 season....

    Since I'm talking to myself, I'll just have one thread... Weekend one in the books, and not in a good way. First game, the team looked pretty darned good- controlling play and the puck. But could not really get any decent pressure. And barely could match the shots. Managed a decent tie, but...

    So it's now the 2019-2020 season....

    Not sure if anyone else is still here, but I am, and am hoping others still are. Game 0.0 was last night with Windsor, and the team looks reasonably good- got a TON of shots off, and didn't let Windsor do much with it. And we got to talk to some of the players a few weeks ago at the...

    Josh Norris out for the season....

    Scott Matzka....

    Dang, you are right. Why have I had those guys mixed up all of this time??? Darn. ALS sucks- it's odd to think that UM' has had 2 players die from it in the last 30 years. More odd that my wife had a colleague who got it (Ann Arbor) and I also have a colleague who has it (somewhere else in...

    Scott Matzka....

    He passed over the weekend. https://mgoblue.com/news/2018/12/16/ice-hockey-former-wolverine-scott-matzka-passes-away.aspx His two goals against BC were probably the two most important goals he ever scored in one game. And we were there to see them. Sad.

    Joe Pa must be crapping in his grave right now

    The great irony is the players used the exact same celebrations that the PSU players did a year ago. Basically, Pedo State- if you can't take it, then you should not dish it out. It's not as if Michigan tried to run up the score- the pedo state team let us. And it took the very young back...

    The results were much better this weekend, that's for sure...

    It was good that the D did a good job preventing shots to get to the net. It wasn't a good thing that they gave SLU so many chances with the puck. But one thing at a time, I suppose. There needs to be a LOT of work on the break out- between the far to many hero passes and the very sloppy puck...

    After 2 weeks of the season with one real game...

    And the 5 on 3's that we gave Western didn't help much. They have a long way to go.

    Predictions for UM and MSU this season

    So much for the buckeye prediction. That as a serious kicking of their rear.

    After 2 weeks of the season with one real game...

    Fun, but stressful at the end, that's for sure. The D has a lot of work to do- just too many times they don't control the puck or don't talk to each other. But what a fun offense.

    After 2 weeks of the season with one real game...

    The season gets back going, again. Listening to what Mel had to say in preparation for this weekend, I'm betting Mann will get the net over Lavigne. Not sure why Haden is struggling withe puck, given how strong of a season he finished with. Unless is just hang over from the last goal he let...

    Not a great start....

    We've historically had issues with scoring early in the season- and they should at least do a better job preventing goals- going down by 2 that fast is a killer. And I suspect that we are going to have a goalie battle. Again. Not that we looked all that solid against Waterloo with a change.

    Not a great start....

    And it's not as if they looked *bad*. But the moments of good had a lot of missed opportunities. Pretty tough to see us lose when we are supposed to be good. And tough to see how tired the team looked after Mel told us that they are in the best condition....

    1995

    Dang- forgot that it's 95-96. Still, they won two NC's. Not bad.

    1995

    We should not despair. That 1995 class won two national championships, one as sophomores, and one as seniors.
