    -We're on the ice a little bit. Everyone looks good. They're ready for the season to begin, no question.
    -Tyler Shelast is doing a great job getting everyone into game shape.
    -Coach Shuchuk is here. He's excited for the season to begin, no question.
    -Petan and Watson are co-captains. We're looking for strong leadership to replace Kero and Pietila, no question.
    -We lost some scoring, so we'll need returning players to step up, plus some contributions from freshmen, no question.
    -No, Dirk, I don't know who's going to play on the power play yet.
    -Yes, Dirk, thank you for your weekly mention of Jimmy Davis. He's still here, he's still a great kid. He might get into some games.
    -We're taking Laurentian seriously, they're a good hockey team.
    -Ticket sales have been good. Get them now.
    -It's getting colder outside. Hockey season is just around the corner.
    Ladies and Gentlemen - The above represents my nomination for post of the year. I could not have done it better myself, no question.

      A little warning that it's back for the season would've been nice.
      Wes Frahm is still here, but his staff was completely (all two of them) turned over again this year. It will take a bit for them to get up to speed.

      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.

        Sounds like a weak excuse. What about Cal Larson? Wasn't he hired to cover hockey exclusively?

          The Mel P podcast is up. I wonder why they post it in 6 parts. I thought sites used to do that years ago because of slow dial-up connections. There must be a reason.

          redwing61 was pretty spot on. Not a ton of stuff, only 3 freshmen is a small class, freshmen and redshirt freshmen are ready to get going, Sept is a busy recruiting month, Mel was in a rink in Minneapolis this weekend form 7:30AM to 10:30PM, etc

          He thinks the video stream will be there for the scrimmage this weekend, and has heard good things on the quality

          Mel did say him and his wife want to start Pearson's Pals, to help a family or two a weekend to get tickets to game that otherwise couldn't afford it. So they're thinking 4 tickets, pearsonspals@gmail.com I think is the email to recommend a family

            I don't know...I complained about that back in 2013 because the pieces were cut up horribly, cutting out in the middle of sentences. Not sure if that is still true but it really is pathetic the things they try and do. I feel like we're already seeing signs of MTU not being pushed by THG.

              I read this thinking it was the recap. I thought it was odd that "no question" was being used exclusively. That should have tipped me off. Not even one "obviously". Nice job!

                          Something to keep an eye on this season, Jamie Phillips' current career GAA is 2.02, and his career save % is 0.922. Michigan Tech's all time records are: GAA - 2.55 (Tony Esposito), Save% - 0.916 (Gary Bauman), according to the records on Tech's website. If Phillips keeps up this pace, he'll go down as statistically the best goalie in Tech history.

                            I really liked the info on future prospects, as it takes connections to get that info (which I don't have) so that is always good reading. The chats are good, but I don't think THG really needs to cover the games and things like that. I do believe the Tech staff does an adequate job covering current events on the official site. Alumni info is also of interest because quite frankly I can't keep tabs on them all so little bits here and there are always interesting.

                                Borune has been a great follow, and he's fairly open/talkative of his time at UAA. I wish he played a few years pro, but he certainly has applied his WCHA/ECHL experience well in discussing NHL issues.
