  • NMU Wildcats 2015-2016 Season Thread

    It's the start of the season for the Cat's. Our biggest enemy last year was injuries. Here is to a successful, and healthy, season.

    Speaking of which. Dahlstrom sat out this weekend vs Wisconsin and the rookie Tolvanen started both games. Tolvanen looked great. Does anyone know the reason Dahlstrom sat out both games?
    Go Cats!

    I thought it was a sore knee.

      Cats vs LSSU this weekend. Non-conference series... I am calling an NMU sweep here. I am hoping they get a decent turnout at both facilities. The attendance has been lacking the past few years at the Berry... thats for sure.
      Go Cats!

        What a huge win after the dual ties at Wisconsin! And a hat trick for Robbie Payne to boot! Need more games like this from the 'Cats. Only negative I could see (via just following along on Twitter) is the penalties. Gotta stop taking as many of them.

          The Cats played well. The criticism I do have is they lagged at two points during the game. After the LSSU player was injured, LSSU rallied and NMU did not have much defense. The majority of the 3rd period as well. The Cats only had 4 shots on goal in the 3rd... it was almost all LSSU on offense. However, oddly enough, of those 4 SOG... two of them were goals.

          Hope Cats can get another W tonight!

                Big weekend coming up against the WCHA pre-season favorite landcows of Mankato. 'Cats go into this weekend with a 4-3-3 record (3-2-1 WCHA, T-4). Mankato has a better WCHA record of 5-1-0, but overall are just 6-6-0. At the same opening day of deer season break last year, the 'Cats were 6-1-1 but went on that disastrous month and a half long skid where goalie Mattias Dahlstrom played through some tough injuries to try and keep the W's coming.

                'Cats need to get a couple W's this weekend. Need to break the 1-4-1 streak against them the last two years.

                  Well.. an interesting weekend. Back to back ties... better than back to back losses and the Cats walk away with a few points.

                    Best 4-3-5 team in D1 ! ! ! Wait...they're the only 4-3-5 team in D1 ! ! !

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

                      With a win % of .542. This team isn't bad, and the Finn is keeping this team in games, only twice this season giving up more than three goals. I've never liked having a lot of ties, but I'd rather take the ties this season if they can't get the win (I think we all would).

                      What I'm more pi**ed about is the poor attendance for a team that has the potential to really bust out. For all the people who whined that "the Berry isn't like Lakeview, there isn't beer sales," ... boy the addition of beer sales really brought those fans back.

                        A lot of the fans who were at Lakeview in 1990 have gotten too old to attend or are dead. I moved in 1990 and since then my friends in Marquette will say "hey ++++ died" about twice a year, and those were just the ones at the games that I knew. We keep getting older. The AFB closing took away about 200 fans a game as well. Economic factors too. A little of this, a little of that.

                          The Big Ten have proposed a rules change to limit how old the oldest kids can be directly to the NCAA (as a fully Division 1 conference, they have the ability to do this), and most of College Hockey is pi**ed at the B1G.

                          Especially Walt Kyle, who is in full "don't give a f'hawk (1)" mode:
                          "A lot of these schools right now, and I'm not naming names, are doing everything in their power to push the scales in their favor," Northern Michigan coach Walt Kyle said. "A lot of these guys should be embarrassed. They want NCAA (tournament) games on home campus sites. Why is that? These are the same guys who started recruiting 15-year olds, then when everyone else did, they started crying about it. When it comes to playing Northern Michigan, Lake Superior, Michigan Tech — instead of two games on their campus, two on mine, they want four games on their campus.

                          "All these advantages, so then they still want to hammer this other stuff down. This is the stuff that feeds college hockey, what makes college hockey great. This is why 40 programs survive."
                          "What is the problem? What is your issue? You don't want to recruit those kids, then don't recruit them," Kyle said.

                          "It's a joke. Number one, these kids graduate. They have a higher graduation rate than the younger kids. Number two, what business do we have to restrict the age of who can and cannot play? We all know junior hockey has become a big component in the development of hockey players and kids want to stay in it for different reasons, and they go into college for different reasons. ... (They are) better prepared to go to college for their experiences. I think those kids do nothing but benefit our game."
                          Good for him. The sport has been flourishing well. Kids developing into NHL'ers, AHL'ers, and NHL teams acknowledging this by drafting and signing more college kids to allow them to mature for them. And now the B1G wants to put a kibosh to it because Don Lucia doesn't like it.
