Well, I like winning but without looking at the scoreboard, we got beat. We were slow moving the puck, we had problems with the forecheck and overall we were not the better team.
It's nice to win, but we have to use what we learn here to get better. What we have now is not good enough.MTU: Three time NCAA champions.

Anyone else hear Suzanne's interview with Dirk? Reading between the lines, it sounds like the Illitches are going to demand a larger slice of the GLI pizza (if you will) in the next contract, claiming that it costs significantly more to operate the new place compared to Joe Louis Arena. Two more years on the current contract.
My guess is this tournament will continue to be the last two days of the year so Olympia can hold two events on New Year's Eve.

Alex Nordstrom had a great December with 8 points (5G, 3A) in 8 games for Fargo. He's now 64th in USHL scoring, and 8th among rookies, with 17 points (8G, 9A).

But it would be nice to see it on the 29-30th because by the end of the GLI the ice looked pretty rough. I didn't stick around for the Wings game, but maybe they were able to clean it up a little bit in the couple hours before the Wings played.

The only thing better is ... coming back from a deficit TWICE IN ONE GAME !!!!
In the end, Both parties benefitted from the time he was here.

Originally posted by oldish husky View PostWell said. I have zero actual knowledge but I would not be surprised if MTU and Mel had an agreement that he would be here until the UM position opened up. All cards on the table day 1. You have to act like you are going to stay forever if you have any hope of recruiting.

That being said, he left a big recruiting mess for Tech to clean up. Joe & Co. are doing a good job working through it and coming out ahead.
I think Joe will have this program in the national conversation on a regular basis, depending on how the league shakes out in 2021.
I like this team!

Pearson did the impossible IMO, and Shawhan isn't letting them slip (although obviously room for improvement). Always good to beat Michigan as well. I hate the timing of the GLI now though, I was actually back in Detroit for Christmas, but putting the GLI where it is doesn't work as well.

Sucks about GLI being moved but that's how it goes. Really looking forward to coming back to LCA for the Frozen Four in April.tUMD Hockey

Originally posted by Biddco View PostI get why some people are annoyed, the recruiting piece and MAYBE not thanking Michigan Tech (that's weak to me) but the level of bitterness that some have is simply embarrassing. He lifted the program back from the bottom of college hockey to a respectable program that has chances to win their conference and make the NCAA tournament. Some people seem to think he was going to stay in Houghton forever which was never to be the case. Time to get over it so that you're not so bitter about that.

When he retires, I will treat him as the coach who revived Tech Hockey and hope the university names something in his honor.
