  • Re: Michigan Tech 2011-12 Season Thread, Part II: You're gonna need a bigger bandwago

    I'd rather not give specifics until I have 100% of the details and context. My knowledge is second-hand.

    Like Flashy said in the elevator on our way back up from the Olympia Club, this tournament was like an AC/DC song - "It's a long way to the top, if you wanna rock n' roll"

      Despite Tech not winning and the difficulty of navigating the Joe on crutches, I enjoyed the tournament. Tech put in a good effort against BC and the championship game was a pretty good watch.

        No moral victories this year, right?

        It was a better played game. A more entertaining game for sure and tech did at times during the third period control the play.

        May they find a way to "will" themselves to a few more victories in the second half of the season.

          Apparently Chicago has taught John Scott to be like SEARS. A softer side:

            Interesting GLI statistics courtesy of Wikipedia. In the 35 times Mel has been a player or a coach at GLI, he's finished fourth only five times:
            - MTU asst coach: 1985, 1986, 1987
            - U of M asst coach: 2000
            - MTU head coach: 2011

            He's been with the Champion 17 times.

            MTU has finished fourth 9 of the last 11 tournaments.

            MTU is third in titles going 9 - 12 - 10 - 16 in 47 years.

            IMHO, the GLI was more fun before they invited MSU every year. It's a more interesting tourney with two visiting teams instead of just one.

              Freaking classic! That is getting added to my favorites list!

              Here is the commercial that lead to the one above:

              In happier news, David Johnstone has joined the Johnson's Jerseys team. Nice backstory on this jersey as well. You can see where the captain's "C" was formerly on the jersey. David wasn't a captain. That was stripped off the jersey the previous year when the previous captain was thrown off the team for "holding" (and I don't mean the kind that gets you a two minute penalty.)

                Tyler Heinonen has not been in the lineup for Muskegon in the USHL for nearly a month. Does anyone know whether he is injured, traded or is it a coaches choice?

                  Just a heads up to my fellow Tech alumni, I’m putting a few jerseys up for sale from Huskies who went pro. I am selling these because I have more than one from this player/team. For those of you looking for something a bit unique regarding Tech's hockey program check out the offering. If you have an interest, just shoot me a line. I would ALWAYS consider a Tech game worn jersey in trade as well.

                  Happy New Year,
                  Ryan J


                  $195 Chris Conner – Dallas Stars – 2006-07 -- Likely from training camp his first season. The spelling of his name was corrected from “ConnOr” to “ConnEr”.


                  $175 This is an unused jersey from DOMENIC Pittis (not Jon). Brand new, never worn still with tags on the sleeve. NHL tagged as serial number 125673 Set 1.


                  $395 Tim Watters – Los Angeles Kings – 1993-94 – This is from Tim’s final full season in the NHL and has great wear. Team tagged in the hem and I had Tim autograph the jersey behind the cresting when he was the coach of the Huskies.


                  $150 Andy Sutton – Kentucky Thoroughblades – 1997-98 – This is a warm-up jersey from Andy’s first action in the AHL. He went straight from Tech following the end of their season and signed with the San Jose Sharks. He was assigned to their top development team for the rest of that season before moving up to the Sharks the next year.


                  $250 Chris Conner – Iowa Stars – 2006-07 – From Chris’ first full pro season when he finished 5th on the team in scoring (19-18—37) despite playing in only 48 games due to numerous call-ups to the Dallas Stars. I will only sell one of the Iowa jerseys.


                  $250 Chris Conner – Iowa Stars – 2007-08 – From Chris’ second pro season. Chris again finished 5th on the team in scoring (13-26—39) despite playing in only 55 games due to numerous call-ups to the Dallas Stars. I will only sell one of the Iowa jerseys.

                          Probably the intra-squad game in Calumet.

                            From McPherson's OJHL bio:

                            Mr. McPherson brings a complete game being able to log big minutes while making positive contributions at both ends of the ice. Leader, strong, heady, fast, good passer, physical, big shot are all words to describe his game.

                              would be good to find a few goals under the tree for the second half. Hard to win scoring 1 per game.

                                ok, so I've recalibrated my expectations with the new year. The GLI is history, the NCAA tournament isn't happening this season. There is still a faint hope of a home playoff series, which would require, among other things, sweeps against UAA and UNO at home, making the upcoming UAA series critically important to the home ice goal. Assuming the sweep doesn't happen, there's still a double-digit win total to accomplish, which I think was all we hoped for after last season. Right?
                                Confirmed on the 5 minutes of the MP show that I heard this morning, scrimmage at the Calumet Colosseum at 5:15 this Saturday, fired up for that.

                                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.
