 The home stretch is upon the BSU men's hockey team after last week's buy with four weeks left in the season. Every game is critical and every point matters as the team sits five points back of the final home playoff spot. The team says it was the perfect time for a buy to gear up for the rest of the season. And with Dylan Ikestad and Aaron Miller expected back from injuries, the team is as healthy as they've been in quite some time. Ferris State enters the week with just four conference wins and the most goals allowed in the WCHA. So hopefully that rest can lead to some points. That was a big weekend off. Just everyone needed it, just mentally and physically and it was good. We had some good workouts and some practices, not too hard, but it's huge for the team and I feel really refreshed. We always talk about any buy weekend. The first period Friday night is going to be, again, it's going to be the 8500 times two on Friday. And they're going to have to obviously get back to the temple and adjust to the temple mighty fast. This is the Beaver's first matchup with the Bulldogs this year. Last season the Beavers went 3-0-1.
