Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015
Made it to both games this weekend...definitely THE Copper Country hockey event of the last 30 years. I haven't seen the place that packed or with that level of energy since I was a kid back in the mid-70s. It gave me goose-bumps. What a statement for Mel and what a PR boon for the team! And the level of play was just exceptional....very intense effort by all. Everybody was on. Before we start measuring for the arena's new east end seating addition, I must harken back to the Minnesota series two years ago when Petan got his ESPN highlight goal. We were crowing a lot then too. Although I think this Tech team is quite a bit deeper, that team got bitten by the same consistency issues that have always dogged our high-potential teams. I think there will be three keys to this team living up to its potential this year....1 - Jamie Phillips stays hot, 2 - Upperclassmen continue to lead and to score, 3 - Key players stay healthy. I'm optimistic, but we need to be emotionally ready for the first loss/blowout, which is certain to happen eventually.
