Re: We Cannot Have Nice Things: Michigan Tech 2010-2011 Season Thread: Part Tre
Well really Tech continues to improve, more won faceoffs, better positional play, still a ways to go though. Just too many turnovers. There are so many injuries and so many freshmen, (sigh...) I liked how Gubb played. Olson really is not anywhere near 100%. Royer is a lot better than I remember and he will help in a couple weeks.
I was impressed with umd forwards but all the holding and the interference puzzles me. If they are so good why do that ****.?

Brutal!
Jamie's postgame thoughts:
-Played a solid 1st period, good in systems, simple in terms of puck managment, competed
-Complicated things in 2nd period, number of turnovers, didn't take care of things in front of our net
-That's a good hockey team
-too many freshman playing too many minutes
-PK took a good step, aggresive
-Really missed Gordic on PP, not as sharp as needed to be
-Duluth was trying to keep us on perimeter on PP, our Forwards were too low and missing rebounds
-Connely line is great, assigned two Freshman on them, we don't have a lot of choices right now

We're so bad we even give up goals in our headlines. Check out the MTU hockey site - The body of the story correctly states Tech loses 5-0 and the headline says Tech loses 6-0. The streak has gotten so long we're even copying headlines from past games.

well since the hockey was hard to watch... did anyone notice the greenhorn linesman (#65)??? he messed up numerous calls like it was his first college game... called an automatic icing early in the game... got chewed on by the rix cause he was racing to negate it and then the next icing that came down he didn't call it till UMD touched it up....He missed an offsides and then whistled it down after UMD's bench complained(after tech already made 2 passes within the zone). It truly looked like he was officiating a different level of hockey. Oh well, none had an effect on the game, just thought it was odd to see in the middle of the season.

I feel bad for the coaches and their families, but a change is needed sooner rather than later. When the building has more empty seats than occupied ones on most nights, that should tell you something. The product isn't worth watching and hasn't been for 3 consecutive seasons. You can blame it on injuries, but that's not the only reason. The team is nowhere near as skilled as the others in the WCHA. To compete, this team needs to outwork and outhustle everyone and it's not happening.
As if waking up to -19 F outside wasn't bad enough... In Oct I watched MTU hockey in person 3 times. Tech won 2 games and tied the other. When I left Houghton, they were undefeated (4-0-2). They have not won a game since. If they lose tonight, they will have gone 21 games without a win. At least I have my health... *sigh*

That does it! I am adding the SID to the list of suits contributing to the Perpetual Losing Culture. This numbnuts needs to be separated from hockey duties as well.
