Don't know if there are any fans out there, but Buckeye Hockey is one of the great bargains around. Even more so the week of the Illinois game when you can be admitted free with your football ticket stub.

I was at the BG game last week and they are skating pretty well for this early in the season.

Just an FYI.

What game do I get into free w/ my ticket stub to the Illinois game?

I believe you get into Saturday night's game against WMU. It should be an OSU slaughter... WMU is terrible.

I hadn't seen the schedule yet...scUM and OSU only play one series, and it's in ann arbor? That sucks.

We came to Columbus twice last year. It's our turn.

The games that I have seen, the Buckeyes have skated very well, the passing has been very good and they have managed to get off a lot of shots - they just can't put the puck in the net on a regular basis.

On the defensive side, the goaltending has been less than spectacular (to be kind) and they have had short spurts where they completely breakdown which leads to easy scoring chances. That has killed them. Overall, they have done a very good job in limiting the opposition's shots on goal, they just need to cut down on the mental lapses.

Once they fix the defenses lapses and Caruso starts playing like he's capable (the shots will start finding the holes on the offensive end - it's inevitable), the team will be quite formidable.

As Ou8ch stated, OSU hockey is a great bargain. I recently took my girlfriend and daughter to a game. Neither had ever been to or watched hockey, but they had a great time and are looking forward to going to many more.
