Before NMU Pussed out for the CCHA they went home and home with Tech for the WCHA schedule.

Full weekends would require a hotel stay. I would think a pair of H/H series, even with the two extra bus segments for each team, is cheaper than one night in a hotel for 22 players + staff, but maybe I am wrong.

Lake State claim's it doesn't. Or Roque doesn't like loading up the bus to MQT twice a year, one of the two.

Ninety miles isn't terrible. And I'd have to agree that the cost of a bus for that short distance is much cheaper than 15 or 16 hotel rooms. Marquette to Houghton (and vice versa) is very similar to the East coast teams usual bus trips.

Looking ahead to next next year, have they decided if they'll do home/away or full weekends at each school?



As for tomorrow, I expect Tech will have the edge. Northern will probably be flat due to lingering effects of the road trip just completed and Tech will be fired up for revenge of last years outcomes. The Huskies apparent inconsistencies in net will be offset by the Cats consistant lack of offense. It would be nice to see Thurber and Rose back but that will be up to coach Kyle.

It was either play on Tuesdays or don't play Tech this year.

No worries there next year!

Tuesday night games are dumb. That is all.

I checked on tickets for Tuesday's game out of curiousity and they are almost sold out.

Has anyone seen the Ramada Cup?



Oh right, we're still hanging onto it until we play meaningful games.

Pre-season, I picked Tech to stomp Northern in both games. However, given Tech's hot n cold goaltending, I think this game is a toss up.
Tech certainly has a lot of offensive firepower based on shots-on-goal, but key guys have underperformed.
NMU however, seems to be in worse shape than Tech.
The Cats have the worst penalty kill in the CCHA and I expect a game with a lot of penalties.
NMU also seems to fade in the third period, while Tech tends to perk up.
I pick Tech to win in a high scoring affair....perhaps 6-4.

Throwing my generic "Go 'Cats" to this thread.

That said, NMU seems to have on-nights and off-nights.

I'm guessing for an "on-night" and pick the 'Cats to win 4-2 with a few double minors thrown in for fun.

Tuesday night hockey.... Blah....

Cats got swept by Western... Huskies lost and tied tUMD....

Expecting a quiet thread..... K, GO!
