CCHA First Round Playoff Update (Game 2's)
An update of the CCHA Tournament Action of the First Round that took place last night. All of these were game 2 of the best of three series.
Lake Superior State eliminated Ohio State 3-2
Bowling Green defeated Northern Michigan 2-0
Alaska eliminated Michigan State 4-3 in Double Overtime
-This ends Rick Comley's career
So the matchups in the second round are still up in the air (besides the 4/5 series) depending on who wins tonight between NMU and BGSU...here are the scenarios:
If Northern Michigan wins tonight:
#1 U-M v #8 LSSU, #2 ND v #7 Alaska, #3 Miami v #6 NMU, #4 WMU v #5 FSU
If Bowling Green wins tonight:
#1 U-M v #11 BGSU, #2 ND v #8 LSSU, #3 Miami v #7 Alaska, #4 WMU v #5 FSU
It is obvious that you would want the 11 seed over the 8 seed, so I would root for BGSU to win tonight...but either way it is playoff hockey now and anything can happen. Michigan should take care of business against either team as long as they show up and play their game and not down to their opponent's level.
Hollis & Co. can take pride in their better, classier program:
Michigan State hockey head coach Rick Comley reportedly was involved in a physical confrontation Friday night in the Carlson Center with Alaska Nanooks fans Robert Downes, a Fairbanks Superior Court judge, and his daughter, attorney Amy Tallerico.
So, to recap the MSU fan's fevered mindset: beating on judges and smacking around chicks is fine if you're a true Spartan warrior. Darius Morris trash-talking back at one of the biggest sh!t-talkers in the B10 -- that's just not classy.

If anything could have topped sweeping msu in MBB, Rick Comley shoving a judge does it. What a classless, podunk, second-rate coach. What a garbage hockey program.
...I'm inclined to side with Comley on this one. He's always been a classy guy, but some random judge (who is a human being, no better than the rest of us) and his daughter who confront a hockey coach after a game are up for scrutiny.
...don't allow yourself to be reasonable. Get swept up in ANGAR.

If your life depended on it, would you trust a judge or a Michigan State athletic coach to tell the truth? Assume you are neutral on sports for the purpose of this exercise.
they get swept by us in the only sport they are really good at and their hockey team gets swept in alaska, ending comleys career. at least comley went out fighting.
STAEE BRAH
Theyre girls basketball team got upset by Ohio state
Oh Little Brother may God be with you.
there's a lot of scrappers in that school
OHHHHHHHH SEE YA!
I knew state and tsio would be out the first round. tsio has always been a garbage team and state has been a joke for awhile now.
Bowling Green please win tonight. I'm craving a playoff massacre of some team whether we beat up on BG or lake. I remember we smoked lake 7-2 early in the season and swept BG at their arena.
We'll be good. I just hope it's BG we beat the shit out of.
As a kid I played a game against a BG team in that arena. Even that team sucked. I think we beat them like 9-0 or something like that. Michigan should do the same if we play them. Except this will be at Yost.
