  • NMU at MTU 2/12: It's a "short bus" ride for Northern up to Tech

    Congrats to the Huskies for adding some more hardware this weekend and saving face after Friday's late game implosion. No time to polish the trophy now with the 3rd of 5 games in just 9 days this Tuesday. (I still don't understand mid-week games.) The future WCHA mates in green head up US 41 to see what's left of the Winter Carnival and hopefully Tech can improve on their previous 1-goal early season showing at the Barry. Quite honestly I'm hoping to see a lot of ice time for frequent scratches and 3rd / 4th line players in this game so we can focus on the WCHA games at the end of the week. I'm not saying you look past a game, but this is bad scheduling with a break after Mankato that could have been filled with this game. Frankly, Tech needs WCHA points more than they need a win over NMU at this point as much as it pains me to say so.

    Go Tech!

    I'll give this a *bump* to see if it gets any play.

    The last time these two played, December 4th, seems like a long, long time ago.

    Tech had a bye week in late January and now another coming up in late February? That seems like a momentum breaker?

    Northern needs all the wins it can get (CCHA or not) and they're coming off a loss and a shutout win against Ferris.

    I expect it will be a close one.

    Is there single-game online access for this game?

    NMU Hockey Since 1976 ...there at the beginning.

    Bill Crawford, LSSU radio announcer, on NMU hockey: "This is their MO right to the tee: get out shot, get out played, keep hangin' in there, just rope-a-dope it in your own zone, get it up the ice, bang it in and win the game."

      Tech needs to win every game between now and mid-April.

          It would be hard to fill that break with this game. Northern will be at Bowling Green that weekend. The coaches tried like crazy to find available common weekend dates. If it were at all possible, there not have been Tuesday nights. It wasn't "bad scheduling." It was a lack of other options.

            because the WCHA and CCHA can't let them have a common weekend off that isn't a holiday weekend. It seems really sad that MTU and NMU can't say, we want February 22/23rd off to play a non-conference series.

              I've said that for many years. Won't be a problem next year! Hopefully Tech can match or better the Tuesday crowd of 3509 back in December! And for sure the atmosphere for the Saturday game at Tech last year was electric. When the Mac is packed, there's no better place to watch a college hockey game!

                    Tech will be flying tonight. Plus, WCHA officials. Advantage Tech.

                        NMUFAN you called it!

                        So far Tech has been flying and it's NMU 1 : 8 TECH at the end of the 2nd period.

                        That's enough for me.

                            MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

                            Surrounded by Badger Red in Wisconsin. Such an ugly color, but the beer and cheese are delicious...
