Ohhh... he told me Bungerrrrrrr was playing hockey with his team, he never mentioned it was a floor hockey team. (Then again, he also never mentioned he was playing floor hockey...) Now it makes a bit more sense.

Bunger said he would play hockey with us next Wednesday at the Dee.

And now for some sad numbers:

The regional championship women's bouncyball game against Drury drew 3131 fans.

According to USCHO's box scores, this means it outdrew all but one home hockey game this season. The only game it didn't outdraw was the season opener against NMU.

It's official, Tech is now a basketball school. Somewhere Curt Tompkins is laughing...

So that's next Wednesday? I was hoping it was tonight, I'm ready for this.

Yeah, Bunger had to attend to St. Patrick's Day festivities.

Come on, this was a huge game. Not to mention that we all know the attendance count for hockey is way screwed up and short us on a lot of games.

I wonder if he's related to my old roommates... they're one of those crazy Finnish "banger" families so there's a solid possibility.

yes. I'm starting to wonder if it's the official recruiting strategy. Might be good for attendance, at least.

Incidentally, how's Daavesus doing? Still tearing up the ECHL, I see.

As a matter of fact yes; along with Hauswirth and Zabotel who've been mentioned a thousand times as the lost saviours of MTU hockey.

77 * Trent Daavettila Kalamazoo Wings 45 19 22 41 20
78 * Jake Hauswirth South Carolina Stingrays 57 15 26 41 24
89 * Casey Pierro-Zabotel Wheeling Nailers 45 12 27 39 26

And by the way he outscored them both.

Its in my signature line...I hate to say it but I agree with the bold part...I might even say it has to be closer to 2007-2008 season for him to keep his job.

This is setting up very similar to the 1999-2000 -> 2000-2001 seasons.

Russell managed one more win and one more tie in 2 less games than Watters did in 99-2000. If Russell doesn't get off to a good start, he is probably gone before GLI.

And when they waited until 8 games in to fire Watters, it was a complete waste of season; the move should have been done following the previous year. As it should be done now. Do you honestly see Tech getting close to 15 wins next year?? The offense is questionable, the D is very questionable, and it's also questionable if Olson will be back next year (in which case there is no hope at all).

Seems like we were able to play pretty well against the #1 team in the country without him.

He's full of sh*t and has no clue what he is talking about. I trust our other source on this more than I trust someone who has a personal grudge against Russell.
