Rocky Mountain Blogging with Corey Toy - Redemption

Corey Toy, men?s hockey sophomore defenseman, continues his blog from the team?s trip to Denver. Part three comes after the Buckeyes? come-from-behind 4-3 victory over the second-ranked Pioneers Saturday night.

Redemption
After last night?s loss the attitude throughout the team changed dramatically. Knowing that the mistakes we made came back to haunt us, every member of our family was determined for redemption.

We started this morning off as we have every other, with a 9 a.m. wake up call and breakfast downstairs in the hotel. While we acted as we always do, one could sense the underlying tension within the room. Pre-game skate at 10:45 a.m. was short and sweet. We kept it simple; focusing on the aspects of our game that had lacked the night before. We returned to the hotel for lunch at 12:30 p.m. as usual, and then headed to our rooms for a few hours of rest and preparation.

I would be very pleased with a split considering it is up there:!

I would be very pleased with a split considering it is up there:!

A split would be great, but with scUM injuries and the buckeyes playing pretty hot I don't think taking 2 is out of the quesion.

The young buckeyes just need to stay out of the box this weekend.

It will be interesting to see who starts at Goal. Palmer hasn't started since he gave up a sleeper goal a few games ago. Carlson started 2 or 3 and and the Freshman Cal Heeter started Sat. and got the win against #2 Denver.

I have a niece who went to sCum and she said that they almost take their hockey more seriously than their football (that was a few years ago). It seems like they always have a lot of very good hockey players and their program does not seem to fluctuate up and down like....
