Here is an interesting article. It's more geared towards HS, but it has some info on MSU from the '70s

Beavers are back in action tonight against the Huskies.

If we still have cable, I should be able to watch it.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I have Army @ Penn State and Mercyhurst @ Minnesota

Rau just scored.

Penn State's new arena looks nice.

Bemidji @ UAH

It's a new chapter in the 20 year mega-rivalry between the two teams.

People from both sides are beginning to jaw at each other :lol:

 

[TBTwinsFan]

The twitter battle has begun. It's absolutely hilarious.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

To add to the mix, Cam Talbot will be starting in net for the Rangers against Matt Read and the Flyers tonight.

The rivalry extends to the NHL which is cool.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Matt Read scored the first goal on Cam Talbot, and had the assist on the second.

13th time he's scored on Talbot.

I've given up on college hockey for this year...

Could be worse...

You could be a UAH fan

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I just wish I could go to some games this year... I'm stuck with HS and NAHL hockey, which isn't bad, but I'd enjoy college better.

Haven't really been paying attention since the BSU/UAH series, due to time and available streams, so I decided to check.

Looks like Ferris is above and beyond all else in the WCHA, with the Mavs and Beavers bringing up the rear.

Well I wouldn't say Ferris State is above and beyond all else yet. The Mavs are only 2 wins behind them now after a rough start, but they've won 7 straight now. Also, we're 4 points ahead of the Beavers, but they've played 2 more games than us. The Mavs are on the road against both Alaska teams, and then we play Ferris State for the first time ever. All those series will be very important, I just hope the Mavs don't have a holiday hangover!

I guess you are right, I kinda looked at the 10-0 and thought that they were doing much better than everyone.

Anyway, I'm gearing up for the UAH @ BSU series. I'm sure there will be trash-talk a-plenty when that time comes.

Well overall, yeah Ferris State is definitely far and away the best team. It will be interesting to see what the Mavs can do with them. I've watched a couple of the Ferris State games this year, and they're definitely for real. Very fast team and a great goaltender.

Hopefully the UAH players will have settled down for the BSU series. They had some pretty trashy plays on the ice. Took a couple major game misconducts against the Mavs with nasty unnecessary hits.

In other news, the World Juniors are going on currently. USA lost to Canada today 3-2 . The Mavs have one player on the USA team, Zach Stepan. He actually had to play against the Mavs in an exhibition game they did before Christmas.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I was hoping to go to that exhibition game. I really wanted to hit up the Center before moving north, but being at a school that's in the same system as them, our schedules align pretty well and I couldn't go.

I did watch the WJC game today. I'm not familiar with many of the players, except for Dumba (although he's with Canada).
