Getting to Talk up OU in Arizona


I will be going on ESPN Radio 1490 "The Fan" either Friday or Saturday to discuss Oakland University Hockey. In terms of broadcast Arizona Hockey has two Kamp Radio and ESPN Radio. I believe they both do home games. So far in the discussions of how things will work they have been very helpful to us so far, which is good. Looking forward to the atmosphere they say it gets pretty wild at the TCC for games.

This will be an interesting weekend not a knock on Arizona but they haven't really played anyone they lost 4-1 to Michigan State and beat em in OT out in Arizona. the beat Stony Brook 4-2 and that was the only loss Stony Brook has in the first 8 games that they played. But if the Grizzlies think this way they will be in trouble and caught off guard but I doubt that would happen...

I think the first 10 minutes on Friday will tell us how this weekend will go. Maybe this is not accurate but OU may have to weather the storm early on Friday. If Oakland plays the way we know they can and should then this should be no problem. Nick Boddy will be key in net for AZ he has made 105 saves over the past 4 games that averages to about 26 a game. He had a 36 save night and a 28 save night against St. Louis last weekend

Brian Kimball has a nice article in "The Daily Wildcat" that addresses that Arizona may shorthanded this weekend Read Here
