    Everyone hates a winner. Be interesting to see who UND hires next. Won't be a shortage of A1 candidates as UND is one of the Top 5 jobs in college hockey.

      Can my Monday get any better? It's going to be tough.

          I think Heinonen joins the top 6, and Blacklock, Anderson will be regulars. Looks like a lot of battles to be decided near the Laurentian games time frame.
          My .02 worth.....
          Definite starters: Petan, Gould, Eick, Sturos, Heinonen, Neville, Steman
          Probable starters: L'Esperance, E. Anderson, Blacklock, Gillies, Baltus
          In the running: Boeing, Jackson, Lucchini (if he comes), Vallis, P. Anderson
          I think any of the probable starters could get bumped and any of those in the running could claim a spot.

            Wouldn't be surprised to see Boeing amongst the probables from the get-go.

              Jackson too. Mel has mentioned he wants to play faster so I could see Jackson cracking the lineup with his speed.

                Tech sure has a lot of lefties, centers and left wings to sort out.

                It will definitely be interesting to see if Black lock and Anderson are regulars after not playing a game in 2014/2015...Has anyone seen them play?

                    very sad to see one of the greatest minds of our generations silenced. and one of the greatest spirits. talk about a handicap and still able to function and function brilliantly!

                      Just saw that Tech posted to Facebook that the Huskies led the WCHA in attendance last season and was 6th highest in school history. The first seems reasonable when you think about some of the rinks in the league, but the second is pretty shocking (in a good way). For all the great teams Tech had in the past, to even be in the top 10 is stunning to me.

                      Any word on the Jimmy Davis / Huskies reunion tour for 2015-16? I would love to see him get another shot with the team and hopefully his play earns him 15 or more games this season. Always great to see dedication rewarded and hopefully a much longer playoff beard this season as well. He might be related to Brent Burns... but Jimmy's hard hat >> Burns' hair.

                        Not really, you need only consider the years since the Mac opened in the late 70's. When Tech had the NC teams, fans were being turned away at the door from the much smaller seating capacity of the Dee.
                        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.

                          Those sellouts against Michigan probably pushed us over the top. Still, that says a lot about the fan response to winning.

                          IIRC, the Mac opened in January 1971. Most of the school attendance records were set in the 70s.

                            It's older than I thought, I was thinking '76 or so.

                              Actually, Tech led last year, too, according to what the WCHA posts. http://www.wcha.com/men/statistics/1314/oaattend.php
                              The WCHA uses total attendance to determine attendance "champion," including neutral site games. That said Tech's home attendance was up by almost 600 per game this year http://www.wcha.com/men/statistics/1415/oaattend.php so winning does help.

                                I long ago saw a study where attendance trailed winning by a season or two. I think that's shown in UAH's attendance values from last year to this one — our fans just weren't into this team, even in that stretch in January where they were playing really well.

                                I'm glad to see Tech atop the heap.
