    Yeah, oddly he was one of the first guys I saw when the team stormed the ice at the end. I would say 0% chance he ends up on the cup, but he'll likely get a ring. Everyone gets rings. Even the front office secretary likely gets a ring. Even the team's 1A goalie Philipp Grubauer, will have to be added to the cup via a team petition. He didn't play in 41 regular season games or any of the games in the Finals which are the standard criteria to get your name stamped on Stanley.

    Even if he did make the short list, 95% chance they would spell his name incorrectly like the city anyway.

      I thought you got your name engraved if you dressed as a backup for 2 games in the Final?

        well Copley was the 3rd string goalie, so I'm still guessing not...at least Grubauer played in the playoffs.

          I was referring to Grubauer. Copley would have to pull a Peter Pocklington to get his name included.

            Well Copley dressed as a backup for multiple Finals games? I would assume Washington would request Grubauer get his name on the cup but it not guaranteed by the rules.

              Joel Lesperance and the AHL Texas Stars will be playing Game 7 in Toronto Thursday night for the Calder Cup. Go Texas!

                This is going to be an exciting year for the Huskies. I remember thinking Tech would be ready for some bigger achievements by the time of Luch's senior year, as in time for some major success. What do you think with the returning and promising newcomers for this year. I think we are going to make some noise!!!!!

                  I think the 2018 playoff run did a lot for the growth of this team. Gave them the confidence that they can play with anyone and a taste of what's waiting for them when they take the next step. It was important that Joe and his staff saw some success and consistency peaking at the right time of year - makes it a lot easier for the boys to buy into their system and methods. I don't expect to see last year's early/mid season stumbles being an issue again because the players and coaches won't have that "feeling out" adjustment phase. Look for the leaders to come out strong and carry the load until the freshmen can settle in and make an impact.

                  I like this team!

                    Schedule is good, schedule arrangement is meh. IMO, no team should be on the road for more than 3 weeks straight, but there we go from Oct. 26-Nov.17 with 8 games, 4 of them out-of-conference.

                    Wisco, and especially Clarkson (assuming last year's sophomores and freshmen with the flashy numbers are returning) should be very good tests and early learning/growth opportunities for the Huskies.

                      Forwards: Bellant, Halonen, Polglaze, Noble, Broetzman, Parrottino, Bliss
                      Dmen: Gotz, Swoyer, Buckely
                      Goalie: Jurusik
                      With it being 95 and hot here in Michigan, taking it easy and speculating what Tech's lineup could look like.

                      F LW C RW
                      1 Broetzmann Lucchini Gould
                      2 Bliss Smith Jackson
                      3 Parrottino Steman Misiak
                      4 Halonen Reitmeier Beretta

                      D LD RD
                      1 Ford Meek
                      2 Donohue Swoyer
                      3 Buckley Gotz


                      G G
                      1 ? (honestly can argue for all 3, but believe it will be Kero or Jurusik

                      Not sure if Williamson was not discussed, but just went with the ones discussed on the show.

                        Might be warm in that part of Michigan but look at this?



                        Regardless of who is the goalie do you see Joe playing at least two or if one is dominant staying that way?

                          Stay safe from the floods if you're living up there. The Calumet Coliseum was opened as a temporarily shelter.

                            Seeing pics and vids on FB. Holy crap.

                            It'll be interesting when the Gopher group goes up next month for the annual vacation trip.
                            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                              What has happened in the Copper Country is truly unbelievable. May all stay safe and begin the recovery in the coming days.
