Well, Ohio State no longer is a team with only one win at home as Mike pointed
out earlier in the week.  OSU knocked off Ferris State at the Ice Rink this
evening by a score of 5-3.

Well, FSU fans can make goaltender Craig Lisko the goat in this one.  It was a
pretty evenly and cleanly (unusualy for OSU) played game but the difference was
that Kurt Brown stood on his head again (counting Saturday's 47 save
performance at BGSU he is 83 for his 87 shots) while Lisko let in two very soft
goals for the difference in the game. (OSU's last goal was an empty net goal.)
 
OSU's second goal was scored when a defenseman floated a soft wrister from the
right point that was going well wide of the cage.  Lisko came out of the crease
to play it in the air, but it deflected off of Sascha Guilbeault in front and
bounced in behind Lisko.  The game-winner was scored when Craig Patterson came
out from behind the FSU net to Lisko's left with a defenseman draped on him.
He half-heartedly backhanded the puck along the ice toward the goal.  The puck
appeared to hit Brian Riedel's skate and go between Lisko's legs.  It was
moving slow enough that it seemed that Lisko had time to react, but didn't and
it cost the Bulldogs tonight in Columbus.
 
The Bucks have now won three straight and face Illinois-Chicago tomorrow night
in Columbus.  Four in a row would be unprecedented.  The band sent four
trombone players to the game tonight for the first "pep-band" I have ever seen
at the Ice Rink...maybe if they win a few more they will send a couple
trumpets. :-)
