  • Re: We Cannot Have Nice Things: Michigan Tech 2010-2011 Season Thread: Part Tre

    I liked Ian's slip this morning when touching on all of the Tech sports he said, and then hockey and every thing that's going wrong, or around that program wtih the blue line luncheon etc. this week.

    Jamie's drive time thoughts:
    Much better 60 min performance on sat than Fri
    Really improved on breakout and play though neutral zone, D partner worked together
    Olson-Gordic-Furne line will stay together, work well together and produce
    Faceoffs are a huge part of puck pocession, improved

    On Bemidji:
    we've played them a few times the fast few years
    They'll fire the puck off the glass in the D zone, go for that breakaway and 2x1 chance
    We lost a game 2-1 when we played them and had more chances, shots etc., but they go for that stretch pass and breakaway opportunity

    On injuries:
    Pietila and Nielson practiced yesterday, both are looking good to go this weekend
    Saturday we rolled 4 lines, our energy was so much better
    Most nights we've been playing 9 forwards, being able to roll 12 forwards is so much better

    On travel:
    took red eye, Anchorage-Salt Lake City-Detroit-Marquette, then a bus home
    Left 1AM sunday, got into rink at 8PM, they got Monday off
    No weights this week, no skating treadmill, shorter practices yesterday and today

    On flukey goal by Mcleod, bounced right before goal tender, good bounces
    Jamie talked with Shyiak on Monday and UAA goalie made some huge saves on us
    Late penalty Sat. killed any momentum for a comeback

      Ok, you're on. Tech will finish this season with 3 wins.

          Are you living in year 2000? Both of those schools dropped their teams.

                If the Huskies win this weekend, they need to set the skating treadmill on fire.

                  Don't get excited, probably just another chance for him to play the injury card and garner sympathy. Can't expect the writers on this site to ask tough questions, since they have no vested interest in the team's welfare.

                      I said GLIAC South. The GLIAC has never sponsered hockey, though that could change with the looming BTHC coming....

                        I'm going to listen to David Brandon speak pretty soon here. I hope I get the chance to ask about the BTHC. Would be interesting to see what he says.

                        I think the injury bug is a legit excuse, but still losing *****. Funny how all the big dogs in college hockey are showing signs of being beatable. I'd bet Tech get's at least one more win this year. In fact I think they get two,But yeah, I'm an optimist.

                        oh,.... a very interesting piece by Jay Bilas on ESPN, about coach K and how he coaches to win games. Might be on youtube.

                          Just saw it for myself. Honestly, I think it must have been a slow night for ESPN to throw that up there in the Top Ten. Its a nice dunk, but not quite the earth moving backboard shattering thunderdunk it would usually take for a D2 game to get national notice.

                          For those that care to see it...

                            With all this talk about Cleveland breaking the NBA losing streak record, do we know what the NCAA record is for winless streaks? We must be close.

                              In 2002-2003 Alaska Anchorage went 1-28-7...they won their first game and never won again...so we have a while to catch that...not even sure if that is the record.

                                If we tie/lose every game for the rest of the season, I believe we'll finish up winless in 32 - three off UAA's likely record (they won their first game the following season to end it). Even the '87-88 CC and '99-00 MTU teams that went 4-33-1 and 4-34-0 respectively, managed to break up skids in the teens with their wins.
