      I was tied up and only heard about 10 minutes of the second period sunday. Tech was doing so poorly that I was sure wmu was going to tie it. then I found out tech wins. shocked and happy is an understatement. Happy especially for people like HF.

            I might have it recorded on my DVR at home, I can check tomorrow or in a couple days.


            Something I noticed at the Mac in my two trips this fall was a lack of a GLI banner. I thought it was always located on the east wall of the arena, but this year I didn't see it. I assume Mel took it away and told the team it would not be back up until they won GLI...but that is just speculation. What, if anything happened, to the GLI banner?

              I agree with your theory. If I were Mel, I would've done the same with the Winter Carnival banner.

                what a fun weekend of hockey, just amazing it took 32 years to win a GLI tourney

                It was great to see the emotion after Tanner's ENG, I was expecting it out of the players, but all the coaches on the bench were ecstatic, don't usually see that much emotion from them! Fun to see.

                I didn't get to hear any of the Mix93 interviews of Mel, do we know if the Saturday changes, I think Likteig, Holmber and Hietila were injury related or just changing the lineup?

                    Congrats on the weekend.
                    Actually, classic stripes have been a collector's item among diehard Techies for many years, especially the old school ones from prior to 2006 (my sophomore year, and first as a Pep Band member). There were a few 'old' stripes sold at around $35-40 for Pep Band revenue during my time, so I figure somewhere around there is the cutoff point. Based on his posts, RJ's stripes are probably mid-90s.

                      Here is to taking the next step and to sweeping Duluth. Touches glass of Lagavulin to glass of Dinwoodie, And here's a toast to Mel Pearson!. What a great job. The coach doesn't play, the players do, but you have to give him credit, the players are ever better.

                      Also in the photo's of the team after the win, I see all the coaches.. except Mel. did I miss something?

                          Yes, that is correct. Those stripes were being worn the last time Tech has home ice for the playoffs...

                          If you look at some of the videos from the banner photo, Mel walks in at the last minute (maybe doing an interview or something). So if the photographer snapped the photo too quick it is sans Mel. The one thing I noticed most is the wry smile he is wearing in the photo. You know it meant something to him to get a GLI title on his resume at Tech this year, but you can also tell he won't be happy if this is the high point for the season (emotions never too low, never too high, just keep moving forward). Last year the team improved their record, knocked off Denver and wound up real close to a semi-final game in St Paul. This year started with a blaze knocking off Minnesota but has sputtered a bit since. Even if the team still winds up around .500 at the end of the year, I think the GLI banner is something they can point to as a step forward for 2012-13.

                            The pendants were on the suite end before they built them. I presume they will reappear now that we've won the tourney again.

                                Makes me think of the way Kurt Russell portrayed Herb Brooks in Miracle. After beating the Soviet team there was no big celebration until he was off the ice and out of the public view. In spite of the calm look in the photo I have to believe it really meant a great deal to Mel to get this title. Sure it was a down year for MSU and UM with WMU just above 0.500, but on the flip side Tech didn't even allow a single goal either so it's not like they squeeked by to get this title.
