<> Michigan Tech Huskies 2021-22: STILL Our 100th Anniversary <>

Ferris played very good hockey this last weekend. Those games are now trap games for sure.

I agree. Sweeping BSU is no easy task. Plus we play Ferris at Ferris. They are always a lot tougher there.

I'm hoping Tech can take care of business and keep getting points.

Huskies are up to #9 in the PairWise this morning.

And their RPI at .5651 is only .0006 behind Duluth.

With all the missed opportunities to get some insurance in the first half of the season, I'm kinda pessimistic on our chances. One bad weekend between now and the end of February, and we'll sink back to the bubble.

Several reasons, but nothing to do with nmu. 1. the average person has no idea just how easily transmissible the omicron variant is. It is really, really easy to catch. 2. Even if you are boosted, it's still easy to catch, it's just milder. 3. Societies attitude toward the virus is cavalier. Go to Home depot or any other business, no one wears a mask, no one thinks they could get it, except they can. So with that lax attitude, which is in contrast to the whole rest of the world frankly, it means there is a lot of virus out there lurking around. Ie the test positivity rate is high.
Thus it is not surprising that even though teams take a lot of care to protect themselves, they still get it. What is surprising is that more teams don't have outbreaks.

Terrific response. I agree with you.

Not surprising at all.

Why is that?

[John J. MacInnes]

No makeup dates yet, because they want to make sure that NMU is able to play next weekend before altering the schedule further.

Games are not happening this weekend. NMU had more positive cases.

Nice to have that Insider. It'll take TV6 or Gazette/Journal forever to get this online to inform fans about their weekend plans being altered.

Uh oh, NMU is doing some testing today to determine if they have an outbreak. This weekend may be in question.

Joe said on his show today that we have a goalie committed for next season. His identity does not seem to be public knowledge, but I have some guesses:

1. Max Gutjahr (Amarillo, NAHL) – from Appleton, Wis.; NAHL goaltender of the month for November; teammate of Oliver Bezick
2. Alex Tracy (Sioux City, USHL) – has since committed to Minnesota State
3. Sam Evola (Johnstown, NAHL) – from Rochester, Mich.; 12th best sv.% in NAHL (10+ GP)
4. Lassi Lehti (El Paso, NAHL) – 8th best sv% in NAHL (10+ GP); Houghton may be a welcome change after El Paso for an Espoo native

Sam Evola just committed to Bowling Green. At least I'm decent at identifying future CCHA goalies...
