  • Re: '12-13 Michigan Tech Season Thread: Screw the Election, Let's Play Hockey!

    Any update on Sova playing this weekend?


    Also, it seems like the later part of last year and so far this year, Mel find a lineup he likes and sticks with it, lineup changes are pretty non-existent. Anyone have opinions on if that's just how Mel is or there's a lack of depth for players that can play Mel's system. Maybe there'll be more lineup changes as Jamie recruits graduate and more Mel recruits get on campus.

      Just published an article on THG about one of our latest recruits, Alex Gillies from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (BCHL): Huskies make a splash in Salmon Arm and in case you missed it, I've been catching up on this fall's commitments:
      Brett Boeing - Shattuck-St.Mary's (MN): Boeing landing in Houghton
      Dane Birks - Merritt (BCHL): Huskies add another Blueliner for the Future

        Seems like the kind of kid we should be looking at, was recently named NAHL defenseman of the month.

        good player. i've watched him many times. skilled, offensive minded defenseman. he was invited to Green Bay's (USHL) main camp this summer.

        here's a write up on the 2 MN kids that recently committed.

          Good article Shirtless, thanks for doing it.

          I have another question. Seems like we mostly forecheck two. Has anyone seen us forecheck with one or with three?

            I'm wit you I think I've only noticed the two man forecheck pretty regularly.


            From twitter, Sova likely out 4-6 weeeks wtih a small fracture in wrist/hand area.

                So he might be back for GLI. or a little before. I'm hoping to see what Hyland has.

                  Based on quotes from last weekend, sounds like he'll continue to be replaced in the lineup by Davis.

                    Mel seemed happy with Davis' play last weekend; said he has come a long way. So I figure we'll continue to see him in the lineup for the next few weeks, unless he also gets injured or really screws up.

                      Per Stephen Anderson, Genoe will start tomorrow night. Lots of line and pairing changes forthcoming in tomorrow's DMG articles.

                        Well official sources now confirm what we all feared - The Winter Classic is on the scrap heap and the outdoor GLI will likely follow in short order. However at NHL.com their top story is "Please donate to hurricane victims..." Hey how about play some hockey games and donate the proceeds to help the cause along with all us non-millionaires that are helping those displaced on the East coast of North America?

                        My fear is that the Winter Classic was the finger in the water retaining wall. Now that they've pulled the plug on the WC, other than the playoffs, what is left worth saving of this seaso?. Another lost season makes me sick and two lost seasons in less than a decade... I hope the NHL is pleased with the mess they've made of one of the best professional hockey leagues in the world.

                          And it's official, Mark Evan Auk commits to Michigan Tech today while on a campus visit. I think it's a good pickup at his age, he should be in USHL next year and seems to be another high ceiling kid.

                                Absolutely pathetic effort tonight, *** is the team doing. Losing hope quick here, if we can't even beat them what are we going to do against the better teams.
