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

    Awesome weekend.

    However, I remain cautiously optimistic - anyone can get juiced up to play the #1 team. I can't help but feel that they'll underperform in Mankato next weekend, and we can't afford to be overlooking them.

        I was just thinking this. Tech is 3-2-2 against teams ranked top 3 (going back to when DU was supposed to be good), but also got swept at Bemidji. That's what this team has to overcome.

          we've been huskyfans for a time. we've sat through good games and truly terrible games. we've seen great games and exciting games and games more boring than watching ice melt. we've seen goalies stand on there heads and beat downs and injuries and fights and wins and lots and lots and lots of losses. the playoff win at CC was our most amazing game. but even that - great as it was - seemed a little, well, fluky. it could have gone either way.

          tonight. this. win. the. best. ever.

          and that was listening on the radio!!! it must have been so sweet to be there this weekend. absolutely historic.

          we will have home ice.
          Best win ever???? Even better than the crushing of the gophers for the 1975 NCAA championship? Ha just playing awesome game for you and your program tonight - if i see any tech fans at the final five you all get a beer at alarys

          Fight with all your might!

          We are here to cheer you
          We are out to win your fame,

            Tech's release is full of remarkable facts, with the best being that 6 players are tied for the team lead in goals.

              WCHA is really looking tight down the stretch. Tech sits 7th in the WCHA but is two points out of 3rd. Tech also has two games in hand over two teams above them (UMD / UND) and the two closest teams below them in the standings (SCSU / WI). They also can control their destiny with 6 of their remaining games against teams in front of them. With only 5 weekends left, Tech needs to take four points at Mankato next week. The bar has been set high now. Time to do what needs to be done by a "top half" team when you play a "bottom half" team.

                I figured out what this season is.

                Remember the 2007-08 season where we had just come off the Final Five, had pretty much everyone back, and we were all gushing about home ice and a possible at-large NCAA bid, only we went all schizophrenic after the first third of the season, finished ninth and lost in heartbreaking fashion to UND, and managed to miss everything?

                (EVIL TWITCH: THAT SEASON NEVER HAPPENED. IT WAS NOT DURING YOUR SWAN SONG YEAR IN tSBFITW. YOU SAW NOTHING. ESPECIALLY NOT THAT 2-0 SHUTOUT TO NMU AT HOME THE NIGHT AFTER MATT SIDDALL PLAYED THE BONGOS WITH JORDAN FOOTE'S HEAD. HERE, HERE, SEE, LOOK AT THE PUPPY. LOOK AT THE WIDDLE PUBBY-WUBBY. ISN'T HE CUTE? IN THE BUCKET.)

                This is that season minus those crushing expectations. Slaying Goliath does no good when you turn around and get punked by Urkel. That's gotta stop.

                Mankato has a giant neon arrow pointing to it that says "TRAP SERIES." Cannot fall for it.

                  (Brenthoven) Such a great weekend of hockey. Am sad that I missed watching the sweep of the Helmet Kids, but this series in Daloot was amazing. See you *ers at the F5!

                    our destiny is in our own hands - we play Omaha, whatstheir names and CC - all above us in the standings. first things first - win Friday night.

                        My first instinct about next weekend was to dread the potential let down. But I've decided that won't happen. I'm not saying a sweep is a given. Sometimes it's all about a bouncing puck. But I fully expect the effort to be there. This is the last series before Tech enters the four series with their fellow home ice hopefuls. There are no sure wins in this league (just ask UMD), but confidence has to be huge right now. Not overconfidence, just the confidence that says that Tech can beat anyone anywhere. That may be a bit optimistic for a .500 team, but I don't see any one in the WCHA that they can't beat.

                        As for home ice, one would imagine either the badgers or st cloud will be out of the running after next weekend as someone has to lose. BSU is almost out of the running after losing to MSUM last weekend. UNO has a very tough schedule going forward and UND has one less series to play. .500 hockey might get it done from here out. 6 wins in 10 games would surely be sufficient.

                          Tech has to pick up at least 6 out of 8 available points in the next two weekends to stay in the hunt. Of course, 8 out of 8 would be preferable, but I'm trying not to get carried away.

                            True you can get juiced up to play #1 but you still actually have to beat them. Hopefully tMEL will beat it into them how they must forget about UMD and step up to play Mankato

                                what do Michigan Tech and U of M have in common? They were both held out of the NCAA Tournament for over a decade straight before hiring MEL.

                                I ain't sayin, I'm just sayin.
