  • Great Lakes Invitational goes back INSIDE

    At least Denver is not here this year.

    Hope all the Tech fans enjoy the gatherings and the games.

    Re: Great Lakes Invitational goes back INSIDE

    Looking forward to attending my second GLI. Hopefully the weekend games and the addition of Western add to the attendance.

    Who would have thought that the only team above .500 would be Western? I would have said not a chance, there should be at least 3 teams above .500.

      JLA had to fit it in on a Sat-Sun this year because of the switch from outdoors, and the arena was booked for Jeff Dunham IIRC.

      Nonetheless, WMU will be the favorite as the surrogate for the team that originally was invited, SCSU. Ironically, they would be the only above .500 team in the tourney also if they were not snubbed. Good for WMU fans, I hope you fill it up, b/c casual MSU and Michigan fans will probably opt out this year. M Tech fans usually come in good numbers, quite a few in the Detroit area.

          There's a chance I'd be able to go to the championship game, maybe see the last period or two of the consolation, but I'll probably only pull the trigger if State makes the title. MSU-UM would be fun for the rivalry aspect, but MSU-MTU would be a nice one too. Looks like a Spartan-Huskie title game hasn't happened since 2000.

            If WMU shows up at Comerica on day 1, I'll buy for the championship.

              If Hildebrand is in net they've got a shot. All the blowouts so far have come with Yanakeff at goaltender. Hildebrand gives the team a shot, they just don't have the offense right now.

                seems like the deblouw-berry-Darnell kids are the only thing producing. And they're all comley's recruits (his last hurrah). Reimer & Wolfe miss dchelios big time and Anastos needs to figure out how to get those two going. Love to see him put hoomaian up there I can see him breaking big one of these days.

                  Tech will need to shakeup the lines without Blake P.
                  Play D. Johnstone a ton and pair Gordic with J. Johnstone to add scoring to the third line.

                  This is the year the drought ends.

                    That is a big hit losing him. Hey I winced a bit when you mentioned the first Johnstone c'est la vie. State may have the best goaltender in the GLI and we couldn't say that since maybe 2008. I dare say however that this is Western's title to lose.

                      SCSU fans are torqued you rescinded our invitation. Guess we will have to take it out on NMU in a few weeks.

                        They already lost to us... US... in the NCAAs. What more embarrassing thing can we do to them?

                          I was gonna add "and we probably could have had a literal brick wall in net that year and still would h ave lost" but then remembered that we beat NoDak in that first game.

                              Woah, hey now! That's not our fault. You can go talk to Tech and UM about that. We don't host, we just get invited every year because we don't mess up the place when we come over.
