Good win on the road but I have to agree with ORD's prior post regarding Markell regarding the fact that he doesn't seem very good at developing talent. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out because if they do not make it to the Joe it will be very disappointing.

It will also be interesting to see how he does in future recruiting since he lost his best recruiting coach.

I hope for the best but they are really going to go through a gauntlet from now until the end of the regular season with their upcoming schedule.

Weekend #2 of The Gauntlet coming up with the #1 ranked domers. Buckeyes took two points in Alaska: so far; so good. They'll need to at least get two this weekend at home to keep their first round bye hopes alive and give us a big boost in the pairwise rankings.

OTOH, that just could propel Fredo into a CCHA regular season title. Oh well, lose this weekend domers, then win out.

I believe Fredo will go in the tank by themselves, and we have a home and home with them to finish the season. I will be beating on the glass fri, and sunday....can't wait.

it's about time they started getting some type of television coverage. It is always Michigan or Michigan State and you can even throw in Wisconsin but it seems like Ohio State hockey never gets any type of television coverage.

they're only getting coverage because of the teams they're playing. domers, scUM, Michigan State (even though they suck bad this year), and fredo are always on tv. I think ONN shows every home game for Fredo.

If you can't make it to a game your best chance of coverage is through WOSU 820 radio.

I watched the first couple minutes (up to the Ntre Ame goal), and it was looking like a constant ND powerplay.
