    Good job at THG. One comment on your recent article is- I was wondering why you said MSU should be an easy series for tech and then followed with they tied and lost (by a considerable margin) to MSU earlier this year when MSU was still banged up with injuries?

      because it should be an easy series if the Huskies play anywhere close to the level they did in Duluth. That series was a long time ago and the Huskies are the better team on paper. That weekend against MSU was probably their worst weekend of the season. "Easy" is a relative term as nothing in the WCHA is easy.

        So the team must be in the Twin Cities tonight, the Tech Hockey facebook page just posted a picture of Thursday practice and they're at Mariucci.

            Some of you may find this funny:

            Apparently, a co-worker's dad owns The Idle Hour bar in Hurley. This happens to be on my route for the divadork wedding. This could end up badly.
            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

              Fixed that for you.

              Hurley has to be feeling the pinch from the low snow totals, it (and Spread Eagle ) are the major sledder stops for cheap drinks and questionable ladies.

                I suspect that Spread Eagle is only a major stop because of the "gentlemen's club".

                  Same with Hurley, except they have two blocks of "gentlemen's clubs" and Wisconsin liquor prices.

                    I updated linkorama to include this great article (with some errand facts) by Adam Wodon at CHN: Michigan Tech Back on Course
                    I was a little disappointed that Michigan Tech did not receive CHN Team of the Week honors, but Colgate (and Maine) were just as deserving...

                      Also added the Stephen Anderson series preview: Tech must take care of business in Mankato
                      Highlight of that article is Michigan Tech will be without Milos Gordic this weekend, he will be replaced in the lineup by Patrick McCadden, McCadden will likely skate with Dennis Rix and Chad Pietila on the 4th line and Reddick will bump up to fill Gordic's spot.

                          That article was great and a big change from the past. I can't remember a positive article in years.
                          I agree about the high possibility of a split or worse. Remember, "SWEEP AT HOME, SPLIT ON THE ROAD." Let's hope for a win on Friday, then hope for whatever we need to hope for on Saturday. Mankato will be motivated to sweep.

                          I hope that the players haven't been reading about how "automatic" this weekend is going to be.

                            You're right, I never thought someone from the UMD Statesmen would get an article published in the New York Times, let alone twice!

                              It doesn't matter what we write, all of us stating that MTU should sweep know full well that the team has to show up and play like they did in periods 2,3, and OT on Friday and periods 1 and 3 on Saturday in Duluth. You can't let off the gas or you get curbstomped like UMD did. EVERYONE knows this is trap series, Michigan Tech must come out ready to play, not flat like last Friday. It won't be easy but the Huskies should sweep this weekend. Let's hope they don't let us down. These are MTU's last games against teams currently ranked in the bottom 4 of the WCHA. After this, it gets much tougher.

                                How DARE you use that term. That was being embarrassed not curbstomped! Besides, everyone knows that curbstomping means sweeping.
