Me, I’d write a better ad.

Headline:
“Save the date for Ferris State”

Copy:
The Buehlers are coming to town and if they think they’re going to get a day off, well, then I’m the sausage king of Chicago. Anyhow, show up early and bring your pets, because it’s SPCA night at the rink, and in honor of those dirty dogs, we’re giving away free dog biscuits. You’re welcome.

Kent did for certain. It was shut down by the University President.( due to serious mis-behavior by one or more hockey players.).

Thursday is media day, note Ryan Sullivan being Miami’s player representative…my pals and I have been praying all summer for him to be our captain and this might be a good sign… although WMU is sending their goalie so maybe not :joy:

Also keep an eye out to see if we’re #9 on the preseason poll tomorrow

Can we be voted 10th?!

We were picked 9th

We did get 10 more points than last year though.

Edit: there were two more ballots this year and more points awarded…inflation :joy:

I think that’s 22 9th place votes 8 8th place votes (unless anyone had us higher)

Well it wasn’t 29 last place votes and one first place :joy:

Hopefully we can be like CC and make a significant jump next year. Last year they were in 7th with 89 points this year they’re in third with 200 and a first place vote

I like the Tanyon Bajzer shoutout, he became one of my favorites last year. Drove me nuts the first half of the year when the forwards were bad/not scoring every single weekend and the lineup wouldn’t change. Even scratched to play dmen as forwards over him. Then when he finally comes in he averages half a point a game in his first 4 games and finishes out the season as a regular. Maybe there was an undisclosed injury but if not I think he should’ve gotten a chance earlier.

I also have a special place in my heart for the guys from Ohio :heart: Hopefully he takes a big step forward this year with the competition getting tighter up front

Behind a paywall but a couple things-

I think we could have been ranked lower than 43 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
He seems to have forgotten how many teams are in the NCHC…
Points out Ambrosio, Waldron, Fillion, and Quinn as impact players
Blames mostly our bad defending for our woes

He thinks Dahlmeir is our best goaltender and will get the starting job yet he’s concerned that having him play so many minutes with such a bad team in front of him will kill his confidence and “ruin” him?

This coach is like the doggone Werewolf of London. He’s a killer and his hair is perfect!

Full disclosure: I’ve never seen him drinking a pina colada or eating chow mein.

How about the Starman also grinding in the gym late night? Shireen clearly directing him to get fit!!

Sounds like we need to get him a weekly coach’s show at Phan Shin.
