The No. 1 Miami hockey team (4-0-1, 1-0-0-0 CCHA) remained undefeated Friday night at Steve Cady Arena, opening Central Collegiate Hockey Association play with 2-1 victory over Michigan State (3-2-0, 0-1-0-0 CCHA).

Cody Reichard was brilliant in goal, making 24 saves, including one on a penalty shot, and Tommy Wingels scored twice to lead the RedHawks to the victory.

“Cody made the save on the penalty shot, that was big,” head coach Enrico Blasi said. “He also made two subtle saves that I don’t know if people saw, one late in the second period and one in the third period, they look routine, but they were really big saves for us.”

The scoreless first period was highlighted by clean, hard defense on both sides of the ice with each team only committing one penalty apiece. Both netminders were strong in goal, turning away any scoring opportunity that made it through the defense.

Just 49 seconds into the second period, Reichard made two big saves to keep the game tied. Michigan State stole the puck near Miami’s blue line and passed ahead to Andrew Rowe who was racing down the ice for a breakaway. Miami defenseman Chris Wideman gave chase and got his stick on him, but Rowe was still able to take a hard shot.

“It was a really good shot he got off, it kind of surprised me,” Reichard said. He made the save, but Wideman was called for hooking on the play and Michigan State was awarded a penalty shot. On the penalty shot Reichard again came up big for the `Hawks, making the save.

“We practice that every Thursday, we do breakaways and penalty shots. We have a lot of skilled guys who have a lot of great moves, so I get a lot of practice,” Reichard said.

At 11:45 of the second period, Miami was finally able to break through the Michigan State defense while on a 5-on-3 power play. The RedHawks set up in the offensive zone and moved the puck around, trying to find an opening. Pat Cannone took a pass at the top of the right faceoff circle and sent a crossing pass to a wide-open Wingels at the top of the left faceoff circle. Wingels fired a one-timer past the Spartan goalie for his first goal of the game. Carter Camper earned the second assist.

Miami’s lead was short-lived however, as Michigan State was able to tie the game on a power play at 15:17 of the second period. The Spartans made a series of passes before taking a hard slap shot from the left side. Reichard made the save, but fell to his right. The puck deflected to the right side of the net and Michigan State’s Derek Grant was able to score on the rebound to make it 1-1.

In contrast to the lack of penalties in the first period, the teams combined for six power plays on nine penalties in the second period.

At 18:02 of the final period, Miami scored the go-ahead goal on a wrist shot by Wingels. Camper carried the puck into the offensive zone and drew the defense before leaving the puck for Wingels who was skating in behind him. Wingels shot the puck through traffic past the Michigan State goaltender for the game-winner.

>- The RedHawks are once again number one in all the major polls. After a 1-0-1 weekend at New Hampshire, Miami wrangled in 46 of the 50 first place votes to hold down the top spot. North Dakota is second and Boston University checks in at number three. (Keep your eye on the November matchup with North Dakota). Through the first two weekends of a very tough October schedule (yes, I know it’s early), I certainly see a confidence in this year’s Miami team, a squad that I truly believe has put last season’s National Championship game behind them. It’s not a cockiness, but a confidence, which can, and likely will, take this team places. The talent is there. The depth is there. These guys are out to prove that they’re number one for a reason and they’re hungry for a National Title. This finally could be the year, RedHawk fans.

– Cody Reichard will be joining MURedHawks.com on Wednesday at 11:30 am for an online chat. You can submit questions and follow tomorrow’s chat by clicking here.

– Defenseman Matt Tomassoni has been named the CCHA Defensive Player of the Week. Tomassoni scored his first two career goals on Friday and Saturday night respectively and finished the weekend with a +4 rating.

-The Miami Athletic Department has put out a great promotional video for their “Make It Red” campaign. You can see that at this link. Pretty cool, as the video shows Carter Camper’s OT game winner against St. Cloud, with the call provided by Greg Waddell.

– For those that didn’t know yet, former RedHawk defenseman Kevin Roeder has been recalled by AHL Syracuse, after playing just one game with the Cincinnati Cyclones (chipping in one assist.) His first chance to skate with the Crunch will be on Friday night, as Syracuse hosts Binghamton at 7:30 PM ET. Roeder will wear jersey # 29.

– Greg Hogeboom has made a return to North American hockey. After spending the past two seasons in the Swiss-B league, the once highly regarded LA Kings prospect is now playing for the ECHL’s Ontario Reign. In two games, Hogeboom has three goals and one assist. Injuries caused quite a setback to his pro career, causing him to play (and do very well) in the ECHL, a lot more than a player of his skillset would have liked. As a 2004 Miami graduate, he registered 65 goals and 55 assists and did not miss a game in his four season RedHawk career.

>Crazy one tonight, as the RedHawks and Wildcats skate to a 5-5 tie in Durham, New Hampshire. Miami controlled the third and overtime periods, to no avail. Below is a link to the game sheet, which I’ll let you, the reader, decipher. Nine goals were scored in the second period, four of which were Miami’s. Taking a win and a tie against solid competition on the road is “ok” with me any weekend. Now, for the breakdown:

Game Sheet

– Penalties KILLED the RedHawks in the second period, which led to UNH gaining momentum and capitalizing on it.

The Wildcat goals came at 7:56 and 9:04 and were scored 5 on 3 and 5 on 4, respectively. Blake Kessel, younger brother of Toronto Maple Leafs’ Center Phil Kessel, would add his second of the night a little more than a minute later to make it 5-3. Having not seen the game, it’s hard to know if these calls were “exaggerated” or if Miami fell apart and took some really bad penalties. Regardless, it led to Connor Knapp’s placement on the bench. I also don’t know if you can hang this one on him, or the defense, or whomever, but he didn’t get much help from the PK midway through the second.

– Penalty kill is still doing very well though, having killed off 21 of 23 disadvantages on the season. The power play is 3 for 20, after an 0-7 showing on Saturday night.

– Jarod Palmer is two points away from joining the 100-Point Club.

– Tommy Wingels had an assist tonight, giving him a four-point weekend.

– Cody Reichard is playing very well. The sophomore held the Wildcats scoreless for 34:52 after Knapp was pulled.

– Good to see the increased offensive production this weekend…11 goals were scored, compared to five against St. Cloud last weekend.

– The RedHawks open up conference play next Friday night in Oxford against Michigan State. More on that in the coming week.

>Great preview for this weekend’s series from Mike (aka Soze) over at Jackets Required. It’s a great new blog and hopefully, we’ll be lucky enough to have him contribute here as well. Enjoy!

Talk about two teams with a Terrier problem…

When most of the nation last saw New Hampshire in the 2009 NCAA Tournament, they’ll likely recall the shocking image of Boston University’s Jason Lawrence scoring a game-winning goal after it was redirected by a Wildcat defenseman past UNH goaltender Brian Foster. Lawrence’s goal, with less than 15 seconds remaining in regulation, lifted BU to a 2-1 victory and earned them a trip to the Frozen Four. Of course, UNH had engineered their own late game heroics by scoring with 0.1 seconds remaining to force overtime against North Dakota in their first round game and this year’s captain, senior Peter LeBlanc, won it with a one-timer just 45 seconds into the extra frame.

Then, there’s Miami.

After defeating Denver, Minnesota-Duluth and Bemidji State to earn a bid in the school’s first ever national championship game in any sport, Miami endured the final inconceivable comeback during a tournament filled with last second heroics. Unfortunately for Miami, they were on the losing end when the Boston University Terriers rallied for two goals in the last minute of regulation to tie the game, and of course they went on to claim the 5th national title in school history by defeating Miami 4-3 in overtime.

Something tells me the fan bases of the two schools could commiserate over an adult beverage about their disdain for BU’s amazing comebacks. But, that will have to wait for there is hockey to be played in Durham, N.H. this weekend as the #1 ranked Miami RedHawks travel to take on the New Hampshire Wildcats at the Whittemore Center. Faceoff is scheduled for 7pm tonight and tomorrow on the Olympic sized ice surface.

Entering play tonight, Miami is 3-4 all-time against the Wildcats. The schools last met in the first round of the 2007 NCAA Tournament with Miami snatching a 2-1 victory over the #1 seeded, 5th ranked Wildcats. Today, Miami enters as the unanimous #1 team in all 3 major polls after sweeping a two-game series in Oxford against St. Cloud State of the WCHA.

Miami returns 8 of their top 10 scorers, both goaltenders and five of their top 6 defensemen from last year’s national runners-up so another run at the Frozen Four is a definite possibility. Junior Tommy Wingels (Wilmette, Ill.) has been named captain after his tremendous run during the national tournament not only showing great scoring ability, but great leadership in the face of the difficult championship game loss as well. However, the RedHawks have not officially named any assistants to this point.

Last Friday, Miami got 22 saves from sophomore goaltender Cody Reichard (Celina, Ohio) to escape with a 3-2 overtime win. Freshman Curtis McKenzie (Golden, B.C.) and junior Pat Cannone (Bayport, N.Y.) scored in regulation before junior Carter Camper (Rocky River, Ohio) buried the gamewinner at 1:52 of overtime. This game featured a lot of first game mistakes, lack of flow and some WCHA chippiness with both teams entering into several scrums around the boards.

On Saturday night, the RedHawks limited St. Cloud to just 20 shots on goal enabling sophomore goaltender Connor Knapp (York, N.Y.) to register his third career shutout. Goals just 20 seconds apart in the 3rd period from senior Jarod Palmer (Fridley, Minn.) and freshman Devin Mantha (Ann Arbor, Mich.) were all the offense needed as Miami reverted to their strong puck possession play limiting the Huskies chances throughout the night.

Head coach Enrico Blasi (Miami ’94) praised the defensive effort of his team to lift Miami to Saturday night’s win.

“It’s always been one of our strong suits and it will need to continue to be,” he said. “We blocked a lot of shots. Our defense was real aggressive and when we did break down, Connor was there.”

New Hampshire returns three key forwards who scored more than 30 points last year in Mike Sislo (19-12—31), Peter LeBlanc (14-16—30) and Bobby Butler (9-21—30) to a team expected to finish no higher than fourth in Hockey East. This group will have to be even better this year to offset the loss of 17 goals and 40 points from James van Riemsdyk who signed with the Philadelphia Flyers shortly after the end of last season. But, the biggest returnee is likely to be goaltender Brian Foster upon whom Coach Dick Umile (New Hampshire ’72) expects to lean heavily during the season’s outset.

Said Umile, “We’re going to need him early on. If you look at our schedule, we’ve got Miami coming in and us going west to play Wisconsin. He’s going to have to play solid until our younger guys get their feet wet and find out what their role truly is.”

The younger guys Umile refers to reside mainly on the blueline for the Wildcats where they return just two experienced defensemen in Blake Kessel and Nick Krates and lost 42 points and valuable minutes from three departed senior defensemen. Kessel, the younger brother of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Phil Kessel, is expected to carry much of the offensive load from the blueline and quarterback the Wildcats powerplay while UNH hopes to get quality minutes from junior Matt Campanale and sophomore Damon Kipp, who have played sparingly, and freshmen Connor Hardowa and Brett Kostolansky.

Last weekend, New Hampshire stumbled to an opening 3-1 loss at RPI from the ECAC. Despite 38 shots on net and a powerplay goal from senior forward Bobby Butler, the Wildcats struggled to score and dropped their first opener in nine years. They will have to find a way to get more offensive support against a Miami team that prides itself on team defense and shutting down the opposition.

Expect Miami to play both goaltenders again this weekend as Blasi has already said the rotation will continue throughout the early part of the season to keep both netminders sharp and to encourage competition.

Fearless predictions —

New Hampshire is still a quality opponent and Miami will be offering the opposition for their home opening weekend. However, if Miami plays the way they did Saturday night against St. Cloud, and uses the larger ice surface of the Whittemore Center the way they did in Minneapolis during last spring’s NCAA Tournament, then a sweep is quite likely. Miami can roll four lines and is incredibly deep. On paper at least, it would appear that UNH is not quite as deep as in past years and may have difficulty with Miami’s big, physical defensemen. All that said, I think Miami sweeps but would not be surprised to see a weekend split.

Friday, Oct. 16 • 7:05 p.m.
Saturday, Oct. 17 • 7:05 p.m.
Whittemore Center • Durham, N.H.

THE GAME
Miami hits the road for the first time in 2009-10 when it travels to New Hampshire for a weekend series with the Wildcats. Face off both nights is at 7:05 p.m.

The RedHawks opened the season Friday and Saturday with a sweep of No. 13/15 St. Cloud State at Steve Cady Arena. In the opener, Carter Camper scored 1:52 into overtime to lift Miami to a 3-2 victory. On Saturday, Jarod Palmer and Devin Mantha scored goals 20 seconds apart and Connor Knapp made 22 saves for a 2-0 win.

New Hampshire saw its streak of eight straight season-opening wins come to an end with a 3-1 loss at Rensselaer. After falling behind 1-0, the Wildcats evened the game before allowing a pair of third-period goals.

THE COACHES
Enrico Blasi is in his 11th season behind the RedHawk bench, holding a 211-151-33 career record. He is a three-time CCHA Coach of the Year selection and was named National Coach of the Year in 2005-06.

Dick Umile, a five-time Hockey East Coach of the Year, enters his 20th season as the head coach of the UNH Wildcats. He is sixth on the active coaches win list with a mark of 444-221-71.

THE SERIES
New Hampshire leads the all-time series with a 4-3-0 record, but the last meeting was resulted in one of the biggest wins in Miami’s school history. The teams’ first two matchups were part of tournaments during the 1993-94 and 1997-98 seasons, with Miami winning both. UNH won the next four games from 1998 to 2003, including the only two games played in Durham, before the NCAA Tournament meeting.

POLL NUMBERS
Miami became the unanimous No. 1 team in the nation on Tuesday when the RedHawks were listed as the top team in the USCHO.com/CBS College Sports poll. On Monday, the RedHawks retained its No. 1 ranking in the USA Today/USA Hockey poll, while being listed atop the first INCH Power Ratings.

QUICK HITS
Miami stands 2-0 for the second time in four years, but only the fourth time in Enrico Blasi’s 11 seasons. His other top starts are 8-0 (in 2006-07), 4-0 and 3-0. Since 2005-06, Miami’s ice hockey team has the best winning percentage among all 58 Division I teams at .693. Miami was perfect on penalty kills over the weekend, flighting off all 10 man-advantage situations by St. Cloud State. In 2008-09, the RedHawks led the nation in penalty kills with a success rate of .897. Five different RedHawks scored goals over the weekend, including freshmen Curtis McKenzie and Devin Mantha. Eleven of Miami’s 20 skaters have tallied at least one point over the first two games.

SERIES BREAKDOWN
New Hampshire has won four of the seven meetings all time, but Miami snapped a four-game losing skid — and won its first-ever NCAA Tournament game — in the last matchup.

A detailed breakdown of the previous meetings:
Nov. 28, 1993 W, 6-2 N1
Dec. 28, 1997 W, 4-2 N2
Oct. 23, 1998 L, 4-1 A
Oct. 21, 2000 L, 7-2 A
Dec. 20, 2003 L, 3-1 N3
March 24, 2007 W, 2-1 N4

BLASI vs. THE WILDCATS
Enrico Blasi holds a 1-2-0 record all-time against New Hampshire, including 0-1 in Durham. The other two games have taken place at neutral sites.

A 2-0 START
Miami is off to a 2-0 start for the second time in three years and just the fourth time in 11 seasons. The RedHawks opened 2007-08 with eight straight wins, while Blasi’s other fast starts include four wins in 2003-04 and three wins in 2002-03.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Special-teams play was a big factor in the RedHawks’ success in 2008-09 and this year has started no different. Miami successfully killed off all 10 penalties it received against St. Cloud State, five in each game. A year ago, the RedHawks led the nation in penalty kills, turning in a success rate of 89.7 percent (208/232).

On the other side, Miami converted two of nine power plays for a 22.2 percent rate, almost four percentage points higher than last year.

IN GOAL
Miami returned to its standard goaltender rotation for the weekend, starting Cody Reichard on Friday and Connor Knapp on Saturday. Together, they stopped 42 of 44 shots (.955 percentage) and combined for a 0.98 goals-against average. Reichard improved to 11-8-2 in his career, while Knapp now stands 14-5-3 after his third career shutout.

FIRST-TIMER SCORERS
A pair of freshmen earned their first career goals over the weekend.Curtis McKenzie opened the scoring on Friday night when he put back a rebound in the second period. One night later, after being scratched for the opener,Devin Mantha converted a wrist shot in his first collegiate appearance. Another freshman, Reilly Smith, broke a scoreless tie with his goal in the exhibition game.

MORE ROOKIE NEWS
In addition to the goal scorers and Smith, two other freshmen made their first appearances last weekend. Joe Hartman and Steven Spinell also saw their first collegiate action against St. Cloud State.

TOP TEAM
Since 2005-06, Miami’s ice hockey team has the best winning percentage among all 58 Division I teams. Over the last four-plus seasons, the RedHawks have compiled a record of 105-44-14 (.693), just ahead of Michigan, which has a record of 109-47-10 (.685) since 2005-06.

QUICK STRIKES
Miami’s two goals on Saturday night came just 20 seconds apart at 5:22 and 5:42 of the third period. The school record for fastest pair of goals in 11 seconds.

REDHAWKS vs. WILDCATS
Miami’s four seniors were all members of the 2006-07 team that faced New Hampshire in the NCAA Tournament. Gary Steffes had two shots and took a two-minute penalty, while Jarod Palmer and Dane Hetland only took shots (two and one, respectively). Brandon Smith was a scratch for the contest.

>The fast paced, physical brand of hockey continued on Saturday night in Oxford, Ohio, in a game that saw the Miami RedHawks sweep the St. Cloud State Huskies, with a 2-0 victory over their WCHA opponent.

The first period was, for the most part, a stalemate. If one had to provide a decision (ala boxing), Miami would own the advantage. Gritty board play was the rule, rather than the exception and much of the first was played in the neutral zone. St. Cloud appeared to have trouble setting up the power play, as the Miami penalty kill was running on all cylinders tonight (and last night, for that matter). Pat Cannone had a great chance to give Miami an early lead, but couldn’t settle the bouncing puck. He had three quarters of the net open for his choosing. Miami’s cycle work on the power play was good, too. St. Cloud did a good job of clearing; looked to me like the RedHawks were looking for the centering pass. Miami’s stickhandling is so good, it’s unreal. Guys like Miele, Palmer, Camper, etc. etc. could play just as well with their stick upside down.

In the second, things were still evenly matched. It sounds cliche to say, but this was a well played game by both teams. Both goaltenders were good, as well. St. Cloud freshman sensation Mike Lee didn’t make any “incredible saves,” but neither did Miami’s Connor Knapp for that matter. Both guys were just solid. Can’t fault Lee for the loss. They were simply good shots. The physicality picked up in the second as well. After a “discussion” of sorts (discussion meaning as close to a fight as you can get in college hockey) Cameron Schilling and Curtis McKenzie were given 2 minute minors for roughing after the whistle. The same went for St. Cloud State, as Garrett Raboin and Drew LeBlanc got the gate for the same offense. The Huskies came out with a power play however, as the minors came after a delayed Miami penalty on Jarod Palmer. The visitors were unable to capitalize in the final fifteen seconds of the period and each team took it’s share of a scoreless game into the dressing room for the second intermission.

The post-whistle action may have just been the turning point of the game. The RedHawks seemed to have been energized for the third period as it was still (yes, you guessed it) an evenly matched game. The two schools matched intensity and lines for most of the weekend, but the deadlock was broken at the 5:42 mark, as Andy Miele took a Reily Smith pass in the right corner and made a pretty feed to a waiting Jarod Palmer, who buried the one-timer past Lee and gave Miami a 1-0 lead.

The Cady, she was a rockin’.

Admittedly, I didn’t see the second goal. I was taking notes on Palmer’s goal from my seat in Section 5 and everyone was still standing. I of course, happened to be sitting. Learned my lesson there, but it was freshman Devin Mantha who fired a wrister from the left circle over Lee’s trapper to put the RedHawks on top, 2-0. Mantha’s goal, his first in a Miami uniform, was twenty seconds apart from Palmer’s; Miele and Will Weber were credited with assists.

The Cady, she was a rockin’ even louder.

After a St. Cloud time out, Lee was pulled in favor of an extra attacker, to no avail, and that’s the way it would end. Miami completes the sweep and begins the 2009-10 campaign, 2-0.

Random Thoughts:

– More line mixing tonight. Justin Vaive moved up to the top line early on and the mixing and matching continued throughout most of the game. Defensive pairs remained untouched.

– When kept together, I thought once again that the McKenzie-Miele-Palmer line was the best one on the ice. McKenzie is going to be a fun player to watch. He was part of the fracas at the end of the second period and was quick to get in his opponent’s face when Knapp was sprayed after freezing the puck. Think of Jarod Palmer…how he likes to mix it up. That was C-Mac tonight; was very impressed with that young man this weekend.

– My three stars on the night: Andy Miele, Curtis McKenzie, Jarod Palmer. Knapp would be 3 1/2. Not to sound like a homer, but EVERYONE on the ice played their you know whats’ off tonight. They’re quick, they finish checks, they provide good support in both zones. It’s going to be a great season.

– The Miami penalty kill was a perfect 10/10 this weekend. The power play was 2 for 9.

– Knapp was solid tonight. He didn’t have much traffic in front of him most of the night, but he did a good job of getting rebounds kicked out to his defensemen to clear the zone. He did however, make a beautiful glove save on an Oliver Lauridsen shot from the left point. It was the kind of save that made the Danish defender look to the Heavens as if to ask “why?” If Cody Reichard and Knapp continue the solid play on their respective nights this season…look out. Both guys were superb this weekend. The shutout tonight was the third of Knapp’s Miami career.

– Thought Will Weber looked a bit rusty. He got caught not moving his feet in the first period and took an interference penalty. Looked generally out of position at times. Not to “slam” his play at all. Still looks, to me, like the raw player we saw last year. He’ll need time to develop.

– 19 penalties were called in this game and the teams’ had a combined 9 power plays. Lots of coincidental penalties, eh?

– All of Miami’s goals this weekend came in the second and third periods, or overtime.

– Andy Miele leads the ‘Hawks after the opening weekend with three points, all assists, followed by Carter Camper (1g, 1a) and Jarod Palmer (1g, 1a).

– Sweet Caroline, BA BA BAAAAAAAA.

– Matt Tomassoni threw some big hits tonight. Gotta love that. We won’t discuss the undisciplined roughing after the whitsle penalty he took in the second period though, but such was the tempo of the game. Can’t fault a guy for mixing it up. It’s hockey after all, not basketball.

– The RedHawks travel to New Hampshire next weekend, to take on the Wildcats in Durham. Bob Norton has already penciled the Red & White in at 2-2.
