      why do they have that show in the middle of the night?
      Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

            Was going to post a Big John sighting, but yesterday was bad. Big John won that fight and showed he was a gentleman when he had Koci's sweater over his head he stop hitting and let the linesmen break up the fight.

            aparch you are not doing a good job of reporting on Big John for us. When did he start playing forward. He as listed as a left wing and I saw on three face off that he did setup at that spot.

              Here's what the Huskies ought to do at GLI if we get Michigan, start a fight six seconds into the game:

                Just because I live in the area doesn't mean I'm going to provide in depth reporting.

                If there is one team I care less about than the Huskies, it's the Blackhawks. Having a Tech alum on the Blackhawks means I really don't care.


                To answer your question though, the Minnesota Wild/Houston Aeros wanted him to work on his skating a few years back. So they put him in the lineup as a forward (less defensive responsibility, learn to skate better). It worked with some success, so they moved him back to D before his big show call up.

                With the Blackhawks, they moved him to wing because their defense has looked worse than MTU's. When your best D-men (Sharp, Seabrook, Super Nintendo Hjalmarsson*) are a collective minus 19, something's wrong. Having second line guys in Kane/Sharp/Kopecky all minus doesn't make playing defense any easier either. So they moved Scott to forward to prevent him from being a giant defensive liability.

                I would be more than happy to provide YouTube clips from the Blackhawks/Wings game where John Scott tripped over his own feet causing the game winning goal for the Red Wings.

                      ok, more memories. Right after I graduated I ended up in Newport News ,VA and they had the Hampton Gulls, a farm team for the wha. They were in the southern league.
                      Well they had this guy named Curt Brackenbury. The guy couldn't skate, couldn't shoot but he could really fight. One day he started a fight in less than 6 seconds.The puck dropped and he was the right wing, dropped his gloves as the ref was dropping the puck and jumped on the other team's winger.I'd guess 1 second in. He ended up with the minnesota fighting saints.He's all over youtube.

                      As far as ex MTU players. The best fighter I ever saw was John Grisdale, (now the commissioner of the BCHL. He could also play btw)

                      Having said all this, I think boh is dead wrong.
                      Still I miss the more physical play the western teams used to have. The new rules..., well to be politically correct... It gives an advantage to the eastern Yale and BC type teams with a lot of quickness and disadvantages big physical teams like Tech and und. It used to be that no one on the other team really dared to go behind our net chasing the puck. Sure I love skating and passing too, .. and sure guys get hurt... still... it's a different game now,.. I hate to see big teams disadvantaged just because they happen to be big. The rules make it difficult for big team to use the advantages they have and easy for small teams to use theirs.

                          That's just...special.

                          And his first game is going to be a roadie at the Berry, where he will probably see significant playing time. This is scary.

                              So do we infer from this addition that some of the walking wounded will not play?

                                Tech might as well just field a whole team of related people from Houghton/Hancock/Calumet/etc and Brighton...Probably wouldn't be any worse than now, and wouldn't be hard to do.
