Despite 39 shots, Miami blanked by MSU

Unlike most games the past few seasons, Miami had no problem generating shots. Unfortunately for the RedHawks, none of the 39 they fired on Saturday hit twine.

MSU (11-4-1) won both … Continue reading Despite 39 shots, Miami blanked by MSU

Preview: Miami at North Dakota

Miami is catching an NCAA perennial power in a rare weak moment. North Dakota is 1-3-1 in its last five games, including a loss to Arizona State in the U.S. Hall of Fame Game.

Bad start dooms Miami in loss to CC

OXFORD, Ohio -- The Zambroni crew probably could've saved time by not resurfacing Miami's offensive zone after the first period. Thanks to an extremely slow start, the RedHawks fell behind by a goal early and never recovered, losing 2-1 to Colorado College at Cady Arena on Saturday. Miami (4-6-2) is winless in six games since … Continue reading Bad start dooms Miami in loss to CC

ProHawks: Smith, Martinez hit milestone together

Reilly Smith and Alec Martinez weren't teammates in Oxford but they have played together for several years with Vegas, so it's appropriate they both dressed for their 700th NHL game the same night.

It gets even better: He … Continue reading ProHawks: Smith, Martinez hit milestone together

Miami strengths, issues after 0-4 league start
