Consider it done.

I'm impressed and will be more impressed if it comes to fruition. Should be easy anyway. Huskies beat them 7-2.

Last time I recall similar dominance was SCSU putting the hurt on Arizona State the first year of their program, but that was only 15-1.

I guess them there rednecks don't take to the ice very well.

Sure seems an unlikely school to have a D1 hockey program. They've been around a while now. I wonder if they decide to shut it down.

I wouldn't have expected it, but this was likely to be a rebuilding year considering the players we lost and I hate the crappy coach since Motzko went to Minnesota.

That brings us to within 3 points in the standings. So if we win tonight, we tie for the league championship. Anyone know what the tie-breaker is? I'm hoping it's head-to-head, because that means we win the tie-breaker!

As long as we don't lose to Lake St in the first round, we should have a good shot at making the NCAA. Great season!!

Status: offline 		Man, that was fun for a couple minutes after we got to within a goal and kept the pressure on. Hockey can be such a game of luck, am I right? Why did that goal go in for BSU, but the 10 other opportunities did not? Overall I'd say it was a very evenly played game. We outshot them by a few. Scoring opportunities were about equal. Both goaltenders played well. Driscoll made one truly magnificent save that kept us in it.

Sat right behind Serratore. Very confused as to what a hockey coach does. Doesn't look like he does much at all? Both teams called timeouts. For the most part, it was just rest. The coaches didn't say anything to the players. Nothing about strategy. I saw the defensive coach use a whiteboard one time towards the end of the game. Serratore just stood there. I don't get that. I couldn't see the Mavs bench. Was curious to know if their coach is the same way. It's just the complete opposite of basketball, when coaches never stop talking, yelling, drawing up plays, you name it.

Long season
Coaches voices are in players ears from start to finish
There's plenty of bench chatter, its just directed at the back of the players heads.
Hockey coaching and strategy happens mostly in practice. Practices are repetitions of learned behavior.
You get to games, you better have your poop in a group.
The basic breakouts and forechecks of hockey are a lot more simplistic than average fans think they are.
99% of teams from the age of 10 up run the same basic plays and systems, the only thing that varies and changes, are player abilities and comprehension.
D retrieve the pucks, forwards move into position for receiving passes and leaving the zone. Some D are more active, some are not.
Some teams release forwards early to stretch defenses, some don't.
You make all these plans in practice and before games and during period breaks. Hockey relies on player reactions to different types of pressure.
Of course you can tweak things slightly in-game, but most is done by the guys you rely on to "get it" and react accordingly.
