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

    Place your bets on the scrimmage; I predict it will be competitively contested and may or may not involve a few hacks and whacks. Should be fun.
    The Black Team might appear to be more razzle dazzle fancy stuff with a couple Johnstones, a couple Pietilas, a Kero, and a bunch of small, fast defensemen. I expect the Gold team to "want it" a little more and do whatever it takes to get the win and the glory.

    edit:I didn't realize before that all the seniors are on the Gold Team, but that's basically what I was getting at.

    get there by lunchtime for a seat. The Colosseum will be testing the fire safety codes.

    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.

      Assistant coach Damon Whitten will coach the Gold team while volunteer coach Steve Shields will coach the Black.
      I'm guessing that means Muckalt is on a recruiting trip.

          Today's fun fact: The Colosseum is the oldest ice arena in north america.

            Don't say that within earshot of the Canadian guy in the World Juniors thread. He'll argue that it isn't actually an ice arena if a CHL team doesn't play there, or something else equally asinine.

                    it's still called that. (And I've never been there myself but) I heard the rink is new. Plus, "oldest ice arena in America" t-shirts sell a lot better than the "2nd oldest ice rink" ones did.

                      It's been burned down and torn down during the years. By their definition, the Dee would actually hold the record.

                        that's a good point. I wonder if Marquette would put ice in the old Palestra, would that hold the record?

                          Wasn't that torn down?

                            yeah, probably. I still say the Armory/Colosseum deserves the record.

                              Huh, the Wikipedia page doesn't mention that, but maybe the page is only for the most recent incarnation of Matthews. According to the page, it was built in 1910, and it doesn't say anything about being torn down or rebuilt. Maybe Wiki is wrong, which is certainly possible.

                              edit: the information on NU's page mention 2 fires, but doesn't go into details.

                                if you are in the area GO TO THIS GAME! the Amory is full of history and old photos and old time hockey. its really a fun place to visit. dress warmly - its cold in there. stop by Pat's foods and look at the hockey pictures in beer/wine section (coincidence?). after the game go to Rocky's (formerly Randy's) - lots (and lots and lots) of old hockey pictures, cheap beer, free popcorn and Moscow Mules. you won't regret the experience. its fun!
