More Nationals

Day 3 has started for the Oakland University Hockey Team at Nationals.

The internet was out AGAIN last night!

1. Oakland was down 3-1 against Lindenwood and I thought it was over. Then Two goals less then 1min apart tied it up. OU gave the game right back up now trailing 4-3 but never never ever did the Grizzlies Die.

Big Part at the end was a Lindenwood 5 on 3 Late in the game with OU up by 1 the Defense was solid and so was Chase and OU held on.

Props to the guys Dan Mcnabb from Lindenwood were heard about how dangerous he is and they shut him down....I barely noticed him really was not impressed with the best player on the Lions.

oaklandhockey.org has more specifics on the Game.

Will and Cooper will need another great game. Chase was good I know he can be better.

We leave for the rink in about 40 Minutes. The Coaching staff realizes what is at stake here and won't let the guys slack. Don't forget OU was crushed in the last meeting with UMD. But beat them in the first two games to open up the season.

UMD Players to look out for:

Joel Kuehn (Dangerous creates plays-Scores)

Steve Rademacher ( Outscored Will this year) Top ACHA Scorer

Stephen Yu (Solid in Net, Makes key saves at key times)

No matter what UMD always hangs around and always finds a way to get it done. Very Dangerous game for Oakland. Lets hope they are ready. I have full confidence in The Oakland Coaching staff to make sure they are. It will be addressed about not slacking because they are ranked higher then UMD when the guys hit the room today. I don't think it will be a problem but its good the Coaches are being safe then sorry.
