Bad Road Weekend

[TH1Bucks]

For the Buckeye Hockey Team vs the University of Nebraska Omaha. Friday we tied 5-5 but lost in the shootout getting only 1 point of a possible 3 .

Saturday was a 3-4 loss in regulation. Both nights the Bucks started out very strong nabbing the first 2 goals early in the game only to relinquish the lead.

Combining the 2 games we dominated around 110 of the 120 minuets. Blew 5, 2 goal leads sitting back on our heals to allow UNO to gain big mo late in the game when it counts.

UNO was tied with in the points standings so this was a huge opportunity blown.1 Point of a possible 6 pts for the weekend is not going to get us any were in the standings.

Coach Markel must have gone to the Jim Tressel school of how to F up a lead. This squad, when allowed has proven we can skate with the top teams in the country. I Will be YELLING unleash the HOUNDS at Markel this weekend at the Shott vs Alaska.

6 games remain 3 at home. 2 at home vs Alaska, 2 on the road vs Western and finish with a home and home with #1/2 Miami of Ohio.

Doesn't OSU have like one road win? Good teams find ways to win on the road. I found that out real strong with the Blue Jackets from last year to this year.

Our road record sucks. 2 out right wins with 2 Overtime w's just does not get it. Seems the Buckeye's and the Blue jackets are going the wrong way down the same road. Both teams did very well last year, both returned most players, both expected to do even better this year and both sucking wind right now.

The Bucks will get into the CCHA payoffs. All 12 teams get in. Top 4 get first round byes. Next 4 spots 5, 6, 7 & 8th get home ice in the first round. As of today we are in 10th spot. 3 teams within reach have played 2 more games. The way the points are we could actually finish in the top 4 OA but we would need to win out and get some help.

First and 2nd round is best of 3. Remaining 6 teams go to Detroit at the Joe for a single game elimination format for the CCHA crown. Regular season champ and Tourny winner gets auto bids to the NCAA tourny. After that dust settles the NCAA does a RPI format for choosing the 16 team Field. Bucks will need to run the CCHA table winning the Joe Louis tourny to make the NCAA.

NCAA Frozen 4 is going to be at Ford Field in Detroit. A short road trip for me so it would be cool if the Bucks make it that far.
