Mel P show summary for 3-30, questions only. I didn't post a summary of the game. Didn't feel like reliving it.

I have to agree with Mel regarding NCAA tourney neutral sites vs. home sites. Something needs to give to go to home sites. Right now, the bigger schools will only do 2x1s or 1 for none, typically resulting in more wins, higher PWR and then get home sites for playoffs. Something has to balance that out.

The only way the 2-1s will go away is when teams stop accepting them. 1-0 usually comes with a nice financial guarantee. But with Ann Arbor & MSU, they grace you with the honor of their presence once and you go to their barn twice on your dime.

Like John Prine sings, "that's the way that the world goes round". I don't have any real issues with 2 for 1's. If Mel is willing to play UM and MSU twice at their barn, i'm all for it. I hope Tech gets Penn State on the schedule. Hockey Valley is really cool. Tech fans would enjoy that trip.

Only as a replacement for one of the other three. We have too much B1G NC scheduling already...

I've started the off-season thread... onward and upward.
Go Tech!

Re: Michigan Tech post season thread, hunting for hardware!

I have @ Michigan State, @ Michigan, vs Wisconsin penciled in for next season along with the GLI (we get 8 NC games next year)
There is also the possibility that one of those gets bumped to 2016-17 to make room for Mariucci Classic in Minneapolis if schedules work out between that and GLI.
2016-17 I have GLI, @ Michigan State and @ Lake State penciled right now (we get 10 NC games in '16-17)

Other than GLI and 2 games with LSSU every other year, thats all I have for potential NC games. There is the possibility that the Michigan State or Michigan deals become 2 for 2 but I'm pretty sure they were not signed that way.

Now that the season is over and its time to look ahead to next season, I'm going to attempt to get caught up on THG recruiting news starting in the middle of April. Lots to talk about between the potentially redshirted players and trying to figure out who is coming in next season.

I agree with this. He is a goal scorer no doubt but not Gaudreau style...

I didn't see it elsewhere, but what are the dates for next season's GLI?

Any award for 14-15 that doesn't have him winning is bogus, and that's even is someone awards it to Mike Corbett.

well he can't win the Penrose since they picked Hastings for WCHA Coach of the Year.

I'm sure Mel would trade the award to have the end of the SCSU play out differently...sigh

I'm still really sad for y'all and can't imagine what it feels like. When UAH lost in 2OT to Notre Dame, it hurt like hell, but you know ... we had little business being in the postseason. But Tech? Tech was awesome this year.

Yea, Mel did mention that he thinks the players can get over a tough loss like that easier than the coaches...
