What do you make of Robert Morris beating my alma mater (Miami)? Shocking..Not once but twice.

Joe Gladziszewski (2:33 PM)


Thanks for checking in, Ben. Sorry about all of your free time this January but we're glad that you're staying in touch with the RedHawks. Last week's sweep by Robert Morris was certainly one of the biggest upset storylines in college hockey in quite some time. Our Power Rankings comment compared it to the Holy Cross win over Minnesota in the 2006 NCAA Tournament. I don't think Miami should be too discouraged about it. They heavily outshot the Colonials in both games and RMU had a hot goalie in Brooks Ostergard. Huge weekend coming up for Miami in a first-place showdown with Ferris State. I don't think they'll have any problem re-focusing for the important CCHA tilts.

Matheus Rocha (Uberlandia, Brazil)


Do you think that Michigan can climb in the CCHA standings and reach a NCAA tournament bid?

Joe Gladziszewski (2:46 PM)


I think they can, because I think the CCHA is very top-heavy and any team in the middle of the pack can make a run against some of their conference peers. To me, Ferris, Miami and Michigan State are ahead of the rest of the teams, but it leaves room for the likes of Michigan, Alaska and some others to make a run in the second half. Hugely important games at Yost this weekend for both Michigan and Alaska. One of those teams can take a big step forward with a solid weekend.

ted (irvine ca)


who would be your top four sedds in ncaa tournament

Joe Gladziszewski (2:47 PM)


Projecting to the end of the season and how I think things will transpire - I think the top four seeds will be Denver, Miami, Boston College and Wisconsin

brian custer (mishawaka, indiana)


Notre Dame looked horrible against Ferris last weekend. Other than victories over BU & the Sioux, the Irish have been mostly lackluster this year. Any chance of the Irish making any noise in the postseason or are they just playing out the ccha string?

Joe Gladziszewski (2:50 PM)


They're in the same position as Michigan, which I just discussed. Regardless of the first half, there's opportunity for CCHA teams to make a run. For Notre Dame it starts this weekend with a home-and-home against a very good Michigan State team. Knocking off some teams ahead of you in the standings is a great way to build momentum. Saw some stats today about Notre Dame's goal-scoring that were quite surprising. They need more production from the team's veterans -- Kissel and Thang especially.

another 5 min major againt lake state. the lakers are more or less resorting to thuggery. nd should pull their players :mad:

well i guess if lake state's goal was to stay even with the irish by commiting assault & battery; then they have suxeeeded :mad:

0-0 after 1

:mad:

[peejay]

miami wins 5-0! with a shootout win on friday and a blowout on saturday the RedHawks had a pretty good trip to Fairbanks. dU went 0-1-1 against wisconsin this weekend, so you could make the case for Miami or Wisconsin at #1 this week. i think there will be a lot of support for the badgers since they knocked off the #1 team.

[bcuster]

The Central Collegiate Hockey Association suspended Will Acton of Lake Superior State University for Saturday's game against the Irish, under the league's supplemental discipline process, as the result of an incident that occurred in the game against Notre Dame Friday.

The action was taken by the league after a review of an incident that occurred near the 11:28 mark of the second period and resulted in the player receiving a major penalty for charging.

[bcuster]

:mad:it got even worse saturday night

What happened on Saturday?

custer's irish split with UN-omaha.

we held off the charging cornhuskers and got the split, but we REALLY needed a sweep this weekend. that's the kind of year it has been for the gliding irish... :(

2-0 Redhawks! hoping to sweep tonight

[peejay]

damn, Miami 10, LSSU 4. Redhawks crush for the sweeeeeeeeeeep. I wonder if it got nasty as the scoring got out of hand.

Notre Dame swept by western michigan. sorry custer, post season hopes are dim.

[peejay]

looks like it got nasty. miami went up 7-0 before lssu got on the board. big brawl like penalties at 10 minute mark of the first period including a game misconduct for miami. RedHawks racked up 59 minutes in penalties to the 49 for the Lakers.

[bcuster]

irish hit rock bottom. swept by lowly directional michigan. :mad:

if you think there is not much interest in ncaa hockey; check out the size of the crowd in wisconsin-michigan game yeserday!

[peejay]

RedHawks have a first round bye in the CCHA playoffs and are on the verge of clinching the regular season CCHA title. The next six games are all CCHA with the biggest challenge coming from UN-O. They close the season against Ohio State which is always a tough matchup regardless of records.

BC over BU

bc beats bu in beanpot final....

[peejay]

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- No. 1 Miami left nothing to chance in claiming its third Central Collegiate Hockey Association regular-season title Friday night, holding off a pesky Bowling Green squad 3-2 at the BGSU Ice Arena.

Despite officially clinching the title with about four minutes left in the contest, the RedHawks (21-4-6, 18-1-4-2 CCHA) broke a 2-2 tie when Jarod Palmer scored his second goal of the night with 3:23 remaining, then the defense fought several Falcon advances to preserve the victory.

[peejay]

Miami playing like a well-oiled machine. They are undefeated after being swept by Robert Morris in early January



BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (Feb. 13) — One night after clinching the CCHA regular season title, Miami sent a message, dominating last place Bowling Green in a 10-2 victory.

While the scoreboard was clearly in favor of Miami all night, the physical play on the ice took precedence, as 186 penalty minutes were handed out by the official

miami's streak against CCHA is finally broken by UN-Omaha.

i have to admit i admire miami's consistency. nodak, irish, many of the "big names" have displayed some serious recruiting gaps. redbirds have been right there 3 - 4 years now...

[peejay]

Denver finishes the season at #1 in the polls. They have a tough draw against Colorado College in the first round of the WCHA tournament. CCHA tourney starts this week and Miami has a bye. I haven't looked at the bracket to see who might be next.

[peejay]

ah, they reseed in the CCHA. if all the other favorites win and 9 ND beats 8 OSU, we get a very good Notre Dame team in the next round.

WCHA playoffs have not started yet, pj. They start next week as does Hockey East.

Denver will play Michigan Tech next week. That's about the only WCHA match-up that is set since Tech can't finish higher than last and Denver already clinched the McNaughton Cup.

HE is a cluster-****. BU can finish 3rd-8th depending on what happens tonight. Right now the PWR has Vermont in and they might not even make the HE tourney.

michigan is playing inspired hockey, but obviously they shouldn't overlook bemidji.

i don't like that miami and denver are on the same side, but if it had to be this way i'd prefer Denver in Ft Wayne and MU in Albany (opponent wise). I'd like to see MU-RIT, Cornell-UNH in Ft Wayne. Michigan shouldn't get to play so close to home.

bc is notoriously tough this time of year. and the sioux have a little bit of history being intimidated by strong teams from the east. but the sioux have been extremely hot. should be an excellent ncaa series this year!

univ of no hardware advances past the big red, whom'se sports bubble seems to have had run out of gas.

denver tanks to rit (?), thanks to the sioux leaving their scalpless corpse on the bloody plain in the wcha tourney

and directional mich does the ccha proud :rolleyes: by shitting their panties against the cloud (another sioux victim)...


tomorrow real ncaa hockey begins...;)

[Future]

How can a school have no hardware when the school has an ncaa title?

Only d-bags call UNH that. Gliding Irish have no history and the Sioux well have you been to UND? All there is to do is drink, have sex and play hockey, and until the guys turn 21...well have you seen their women?

you are right, future. i have nothing against unh. i heard someone say that and i got a chuckle. it was not right to post it here, with you as a fan.

as far as in the women in no dakota are concerned, they look the same as women anywhere else. maybe a little larger-boned & blonder... ;)

[bcuster]

sioux defeated by the bulldogs. pretty shocking stuff...

[Future]

Not really. UND got hot but a month ago wasn't going to make the tourney. RIT foing to the FF: super shocking.

[bcuster]

no way i root for michigan, so i am pulling for miami. i hope bc beats yale. and the remnants of the shattered wcha is a big "who cares" for me. so there's still interesting games & matchups left, with rit the big cinderella story


but i gotta admit the conquest of the sioux has left me a little crestfallen..

[bcuster]

bc becomes more or less an assassination squad once they penetrate this deeply into the playoffs..

at least uaf made it respectable... yale prep boys outclassed badly..

[bcuster]

i think it is at least a little bit ironic that miami & michigan skate across the green & gold interlocking N&D each time they cross the blue line

thank gawd for the loyalists in fort wayne...

[bcuster]

lol! the redHawks put a shamrock on their very "red wings" like uniform!

lol go fighting irishHawks!

lol loolll llo

[Future]

bcuster, even though ND failed to make the tourney, they were the hosts for Fort Wayne. They paid to have that ND logo there, just like MN paid for their emblem M to be on the ice at the XCel.

That shamrock is for their team manager that died, Brian Burke. The GM for the Maple Leaf's son that died.

[peejay]

At Fort Wayne, Ind., Alden Hirschfeld scored at 1:54 of the second overtime to give top-seeded Miami (Ohio) a 3-2 victory over Michigan and its second straight Frozen Four berth.

i wish the RedHawks didn't have BC up next, but it seems as if we always have to get past a Boston team at some point. Wisconsin is playing very well too. Miami needs to put more pucks in the back of the net if they are going to win it all.

bc can be beaten. they got all full of themselves and almost blew it in the yale game. the eagle are fast and can score a lot of goals, but a better defensive team than yale can beat them. the sioux would have been a match for bc.. too bad they went ice cold for 2 periods against yale... :(

overall, i think it is good for college hockey. i am not sure about Miami in the WCHA. that would add a lot of travel. too many natural rivals to stayout of the BIG 10

irish kick off the 2010-2011 ncaa hockey season against holy cross in the ice breaker tournament in st louis. hey tim< hurry over to the scottrade center, you can catch the action!

[bcuster]

Johnson shared the goalie position for the Bandits with Cal Heeter, the Ritenour High grad who now starts at Ohio State, and had a 21-3-1 record with a 2.56 GAA.

"I learned St. Louis is actually a big hockey town," Johnson said. "Being from Wisconsin, I didn't realize how big of a hockey town St. Louis was, which is pretty cool to see."

Johnson had little time to get used to college hockey as a freshman last season. He made his college debut and posted a shutout in just Notre Dame's fourth game last season, against Providence, and as the season went on, he gradually took over the team's top spot. He finished the season starting 28 of the team's 38 games as the Irish, racked by injuries, finished 13-17-8. Johnson posted a 2.60 goals-against average and .910 save percentage. He was named to the CCHA's all-rookie team.

[bcuster]

fighting sioux looking awful strong. leading 3-1 over st cloud. irish played them tough in the ralph, to their credit..

[bcuster]

big win for the sioux

[bcuster]

Holy fuck is Miami a dirty team. They knocked out three of our players last year, including costing Cole much of his junior year with a dirty hit from behind and ending Ringel's career on a 5-stride charge into the boards that was completely outside any acceptable hockey action. They took two last night major penalties, including one to the captain -- all while being up 3 goals.

EB is a great coach, and Miami should be a team we like and respect as a fellow elite academic school that is a program that has come to power without the conference blessing of the Big Two. There's also the great outpouring of support they had for Brendan Burke ... I went to Fort Wayne last year to cheer them on even after we didn't make it.

I'm starting to hate them more than Ferris "our only option is to recruit kids who can't skate, pass, or shoot, but play hard and hit hard" .

[bcuster]

After a number of these types of incidents this year I began to have had really hoped to have had seen Notre Dame begin taking matters into their own hands. Especially after the hit on Teddy Ruth in the Ferris State series. After seeing the way Miami dumbed it down in the third period, I want to see it even more. I am tired of how the NCAA refuses to take seriously how little respect too many players have had for their opponents. A Miami player can line up Lavin or Voran for a ridiculously dirty hit, knowing that the worst that will happen is 5 minute major and a GM, which in the case of the Voran hit resulted in an additional 29 seconds of penalty time. It's time to have had put some of that off-season boxing to better use. I know that it is best in the long run to be in control of your emotions, but what I advocate is a completely controlled response to the next player that runs an Irish player into the boards with a blind-side, behind the back hit. The biggest, strongest Irish skater on the ice at the time simply go over, drop his gloves, and beat the shit out of thechicken shit redHawk. I don't care if we have to play the next game short 5 skaters. Send a message that a price will be paid by any piece of shit miami playerwho runs our players.

from und.com (being ultra pc & kind to miami):

Things got ugly in the final stanza at the 6:24 mark when Miami's Steve Mason ran Notre Dame defenseman Joe Lavin in the right corner of the Irish zone. The resulting scrums resulted in Mason getting a five-minute major and a game misconduct with the Irish getting a three-minute power play on which they failed to score.

Another checking from behind penalty by Miami defenseman Will Weber on Mike Voran with 30 seconds left in the game resulted in a second five-minute major and game misconduct.In all, the third period saw the RedHawks get six penalties for 34 minutes, including the two five-minute majors for hitting from behind. sick...

[peejay]

Seriously? Do you think Miami is a dirty team? If so, notre dame shouldn't make the trip to lake superior state.

Miami's Steve Mason suspended 1 game for hit on Joe Lavin

[bcuster]

fighting sioux gonna take on the usa under 18 all-star team.. i had heard this team is super-fast, but normally it would be considered embarassing to have had lost to them. so we shall se what we shall see lol..

[bcuster]

some interesting wed nite action for the ccha. irish put the hammah on canisius (10-2).

miami, after court mandated anger mgt training, defeat maine 4-1.

ccha rules!

[bcuster]

notre dame scores short hand goal; goes up 5-1 vs n. michigan. i think we will start buzz-sawing the ccha henceforth & forthwith...

[bcuster]

heres comes the thuggery. a clear hit from behind against n. michigan

[bcuster]

6-1 irish. so much for thug tactics..

[bcuster]

trying to get a miami score is not easy. they are so media isolated out there in oxford; not like us here in metro-south bend lol...

[bcuster]

game misconduct against n. michigan. i would lol if i weren't so furious

[bcuster]

lol the gliding irish strike back 7-1 irish. this is is a sad little game

[bcuster]

stick to the head. another penalty. i mean c'mon... the irish need to pull their players..

[bcuster]

8-1 irish. this has entered jokeville, except for the physical threat to notre dame's players..

[bcuster]

6-0 north dakota over robert morris after 2

[bcuster]

starting to get a little info from ndnation that osu may've beaten miami.. uh oh...

[bcuster]

yeah too bad miami couldn't thug it up enough against the fuckeyes. they lost 1-0..

[peejay]

redHawks swept by OSU. they always play us tough, but that is shocking.

hopefully this is the wake up call (like robert morris last year) that carries them to the frozen four

[bcuster]

new day dawning in the ccha: and it don't include thug shit teams like the dreadhawks.. all irish now..

[peejay]

new day dawning in the ccha: and it don't include thug shit teams like the dreadhawks.. all irish now..

i guess we will find out 28/29 January when Miami comes up there to play. hopefully your boys won't melt the ice when they piss themselves.

the stretch run looks pretty nasty BG, MSU, crying irish, Michigan, western michigan, and lake soup.

[peejay]

ruh-roh given the behavior exhibited by every college hockey player i've ever met, i expect these young men really must have stepped over a line


Michigan has suspended freshman forward Jacob Fallon and senior defenseman Tristin Llewellyn for the rest of the season, according to a published report in the Michigan Daily.

Head coach Red Berenson said the suspensions were for “violating team expectations.”

Michigan hockey SID Matt Trevor confirmed the report to be true to USCHO Wednesday night.

“I hope he stays in school and graduates,” Berenson said of Llewellyn. “We’ll give him that support, but we can’t keep him on the team.”

Berenson also said that Fallon will have a chance to get back on the team next year, provided his behavior improves.

Last season, Fallon was suspended by the U.S. National Team Development Program and later left the NTDP for the USHL’s Indiana Ice.

sioux 9 game unbeaten streak over :(

redhawks 5

bowling green 1

[peejay]

Miami sweeps BG. Irish and nanooks split.

[bcuster]

miami did what they had to do against the weak sister. i really thought the irish were on enough of a roll to sweep alaska. ccha getting a little tight at the top...

[peejay]

i read somewhere that alaska hasn't gotten less than 2 pts in any series with a CCHA team this year

miami has an easier route to the playoffs than nd. we played a slightly tougher ccha schedule before the holidays

[bcuster]

irish lose 2 in a row for the 1st time this year; 6-1 to the buckeyes. 6 diff goal scorers for osu. wtf is up w/this ohio team? they swept miami 2 wks ago!?!? :(

[bcuster]

alaska hanging tough w/michiagn & right now miami seems to be losing to msu

[bcuster]

it is so cold here & also in the upper midwest. fighting sioux losing to nebraska 6-1. the world is turned upside down..

[bcuster]

7-1 nebraska. sioux in absolute meltdown. total collapse, at the ralph no less..

[bcuster]

irish win. miami up 3-0. micigan by 1 over alaska in 2d period.


sioux scoreless 2nd w/ccha transplant nebraska

[bcuster]

wtf is going on w/the sioux? nebraska 2 short-handed goals in this series; their only ones of the year ???? :( :(

[bcuster]

south pole -9 F

grand forks, nd -23 F

LOL?

[bcuster]

sioux show who they are & what they are. nice comeback in a weekend they just seemed to be slumping.

[bcuster]

it will go in the books as a tie, but Cannone wins the extra point for Miami in ot shootout. relatively clean game, compared to some of the past muggings by the redhawks. the joyce was full & the crowd excited. we will do it again tomorrow. may the better team win...

[bcuster]

now it is on to colorado springs via the interweb & may the sioux win there!

[bcuster]

Bummer. I hope that wasn't Johnson's best game because
everything up high even to the glove hand was weak.

[bcuster]

I hate shootouts even more when ND loses, but.... it was an excellent game

[bcuster]

4-0 colorado college. another pp goal. un f'n real..

[bcuster]

I try not to look at a shootout loss as a game loss

...although it puts a bit of a damper on the team after the game. Especially when you are playing a team as motivated to mug notre dame as miami.

Here's hoping for a few less mistakes and a little more competent officiating for tomorrow's game.

[bcuster]

lol! sioux score a goal down 2 men. u don't see that too often...

[peejay]

Sweep would be sweet. Redhawks need a boost after splitting with MSU

BU took 3/4 points up in Orono. I'm highly surprised: but BU needs to do much better to make the tourney.

redhawks and irish appear to be very evenly matched. both teams 1-1-2 in the season series. miami slight advantage in goals scored.

big match up for Miami next week as the Michigan Wolverines travel to Oxford for the first and only series between these CCHA powers.

miami break away. can't close the deal. i hope miami didn't dump all their fuel in south bend...

I thought the nd miami series was played at a playoff level; intense, but clean.

WMU looms as a big series, and of course, there’s the ‘evil empire’ at Ferris. This week off hopefully gets us Ridderwall back at full strength, and gets us some fresh legs.

miami ties it up!

3-2 miami. nice job

miami twists the dagger w/the empty netter. really impressive win

Miami powerplay is really clicking. Camper and Miele are leading the nation in scoring. Would be nice to sweep in Oxford.
