Sure miss Minnesota on the schedule. Can't wait till we can meet on the ice again. I guess a couple years or so down the road.

The way things are going this year, I can certainly understand that sentiment.

Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

Looks like Heinonen has a shoulder issue and Coach mentioned no Johnstone or Neville tonight either.

Really need Pietila, Kero, Gould, Sturos, and Petan to dominate tonight.
expect to see Baltus (what a game last night) and Vallis in tonight.

Great win by the huskies but they need to stop digging holes!

The best part of the game beyond the score for me was seeing them take ONE penalty all game. And it's a good thing they only took one because BGSU scored on the PP. The PK hasn't been very good in 2015.

Nice to see Tech get off their cold streak and prove they're one of the best in the nation again. I would have preferred them waiting till after this series, but still, good to see nonetheless.

Good to see the Michigan Tech mention on Fox Spots North's Hockey Day in Minnesota as they listed Jacob Olson as a Tech commit during the Hill-Murry and St. Thomas game. No one told them he switched to Harvard I guess.

Also interesting we're seeing Patrick Anderson before Evan Anderson or Blacklock this season.

Well, looking at the schedule, there won't be much excuse for failing to win all of their remaining home games if they want to remain in a Top 3 spot.

What did I say about digging holes!!!!

This season is almost more frustrating than the last few, I don't get it, why can't we play with urgency and drive when the score is 0-0, why do we have to wait until we're down 2-0 or 3-0 to start playing our best? We have got to start scoring first again and we have to improve on the Powerplay, big time, if we want to stay in the top 4 in the WCHA and even hope to get a shot at the NCAAs.

Also spotted a Tech jersey during their blip about the bubble hockey tournament.

I thought both teams played very well in the first period today, no complaints from me about urgency and drive. And their goalie made some good stops... also BG has the best PK I remember seeing this year, our PP doesn't usually get pressured nearly that much. They really move well in the d-zone. It was a good game by both teams other than the 3-goal meltdown where there were some missed assignments letting the 2nd man get in deep.
Heinonen will be out for a few weeks I'm guessing, he has a dislocated shoulder. Not sure when Neville and Johnstone will be healthy... Steman is very skilled, fun to watch him work. Baltus played well too.

Pearson said Johnstone is medically cleared in the post game with Dirk.

The drive and energy is there, the desperation is not, like it was late last night. Blake played with an edge tonight, but it took until the 2nd to see it breakthrough. The rest of the team needs to play with that edge and desperation for 60 minutes, not just the little bit we saw in each game.

Don't get me wrong, these are good problems to have. They are playing hard for 60 minutes, it is the next level that they need to get to in order to go after MacNaughton. I'm happy that this is the frustrations we are talking about, instead of 30 years of sucking. This team, playing the way they are, will win much more than they lose. They will just struggle at times against top 10 competition, but again - who wouldn't? You are playing the best of the best.

We knew this was going to be a tough series regardless. The desperation needs to be there against the top teams for 60 minutes. Part of the learning curve though. This team is learning to be a top team. Mel's a smart coach, give them some time.

Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

I'm thinking the MacNaughton is out of touch for us - Mankato has an 8 point lead - but am still optimistic for the frozen five and the NCAAs.
