      Just saw a hilarious post in "Western College Hockey Blog" from last week about Connolly's pursuit of 200 pts. The guy obviously hasn't been watching the WCHA, but I thought it was funny how he describes Tech hockey as "comically weak", and explains that Connolly was sure to average near 2 points per game with cupcakes like Tech on the schedule. Too bad he didn't post his reaction after the weekend.
      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.

        I felt the same way at first, but I think Chris Dilk was more taking shots at Mankato and Anchorage. But let's be honest, if you compare the Cluster of MTU, UAA, MSUM, UMD to the other 2 clusters: Min, UW, SCSU, UND and BSU, UNO, CC, DU. UMD does have the comically easiest cluster.

          comparatively weaker, yes. But I think "comically weak" is a terrible way to describe any WCHA teams you're trying to have your guy average two PPG against. As evidenced by the stat sheet.

            Plus, Dilks is a Mankato fan.

              OK, I'm being overly sensitive again...

              But getting some respect today and feeling better:
              "Michigan Tech is, without doubt, the most improved team in college hockey this season."

              and:

They’ve got a good sophomore group. I thought it was gutty how they came back from a four-goal deficit against Duluth and that shows a lot about their character and their resiliency right now. When I saw Tech here in October, I said ‘look out.’ I could tell.

                  Tech article on WCHA.com, pretty much recapping the weekend and some background info on the season

                    I have a lot of respect for Mankato and i'm looking for a split.
                    That article was great and a big change from the past. I can't remember a positive article in years.

                      Another opportunity to prove that this season is different. In the past, these articles announcing the resurgence of the program were promptly followed by lengthy losing streaks.

                        This is by the far the aboslute worse formatted article I have ever seen in my life. I do not understand how anybody actually read that complete article without scooping their eyes out with a spoon.
                        Just so we never forget.

                            Well it's the WCHA not the new WCHA what did you expect.
