I appreciate that.<BR/><BR/>Streak - I didn't get tickets for last night because I was scheduled to be in Lansing for training most of the week. When that wrapped up early on Wednesday, I thought about picking up some tickets. Not 10 minutes after that thought, something else came up. Figures :) We'll see you for OSU if you're around...<BR/><BR/>Geoff - The video is up on youtube.

I started reading your blog for the first time last year, and have really enjoyed it. I've had season tickets all four years of school, and have been following Michigan Hockey since 1996. It's always been refreshing to walk into a venue where the students seem to want to be there. ;)<BR/><BR/>I keep hearing all this talk about your highlight video from last year, but can't seem to find it. I'd like to watch it.<BR/><BR/>My e-mail is: gchiles@umich.edu<BR/><BR/>Go Blue,<BR/>GeoffGeoff Chilesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-31130504722995984092008-10-24T10:55:00.000-05:002008-10-24T10:55:00.000-05:00Oh, and I forgot to mention, the retalliation penalty that Michigan got on Czarnik was dumb, but the initial call should have gone on the Niagara d-man for literally tacking him first, then holding him down. Dumbshit called the penalty after waiting 10-15 seconds watching the two of them try to get up off of the ice.streakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-47725411310360286952008-10-24T10:51:00.000-05:002008-10-24T10:51:00.000-05:00KC- Annette and I missed you and your wife... ears ringing?<BR/><BR/>The guys slept walked in the first period after a fast first eight minutes. Agree, Niagara's first goal was a coverage mistake.<BR/><BR/>Better second period, but both teams did have a right to complain about Hall and Serg(onad)ott. Hall is pretty consistent, Sergott is terrible. The 5 minute major was legit, but they blew the obvious call (HFB) on Palushaj. This was just after Palushaj was called for a phantom hook when Michigan was on the PP. The ticky-tac contact to the head penalties are just terrible and the "Contact to the head imbellishment" call was new on me. Why don't they just call it unsportmanlike (diving)?<BR/><BR/>Took all the flow away, even though Niagara did that also. <BR/><BR/>Just seems like the guys were not in full mental gear last night. Luckily the third period and the first line saved them.<BR/><BR/>I hoped they don't take the same effort to Boston or they'll get creamed.<BR/><BR/>BTW- Both Kampfer and Mitera were at the game last night.<BR/><BR/>Minnesota @Wisconsin will be on the BTN tonight.Streakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-25600237716910270382008-10-24T00:53:00.000-05:002008-10-24T00:53:00.000-05:00Thanks for the recap.SyracuseWolvrinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01403703916654383451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-74678773038076759122008-10-23T23:56:00.000-05:002008-10-23T23:56:00.000-05:00KC, it's really funny that you mention that about Rust. I've had your highlight video on my computer for awhile and had never gotten around to watching it.<BR/><BR/>I put it on two days ago and the first thing that jumped into my mind was "Wow, Rust made some really great plays last year!"<BR/><BR/>BTW, that was a really awesome video. You did a nice job on it.Packer487http://www.blogger.com/profile/04807642066292189138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-22760201690688247892008-10-23T23:00:00.000-05:002008-10-23T23:00:00.000-05:00Thanks for the recap. I missed most of the game due to prior commitments, and only caught Jim and Al for the last 10 minutes of the 3rd. <BR/><BR/>I concur with the thoughts on Hogan. Seems somewhat like sophomore Billy. Of course, that's probably due to lack of any workload until this point. My main concern is that splitting time will ultimately have a negative affect on Billy, what with him not getting into a groove of any sort. Although next year would be much more questionable if we went trial by fire with Hogan (see: Sauer)<BR/><BR/>Matt Rust was really overshadowed last year by the performance of our first line. He made quite a few nice plays, but they were somewhat underscored. Honestly, I didn't even notice some of them until I assembled my highlight video. The pass he made to set up Palushaj's goal that got us on the board against Miami in the CCHA Championship was just picture perfect beautiful. Seriously, that requires some great puck sense and patience.<BR/><BR/>It was very refreshing to see the PP and 2nd/3rd lines get going tonight. Time to get the momentum rolling there...kc8niynoreply@blogger.com
