Re: '12-13 Michigan Tech Season Thread: Screw the Election, Let's Play Hockey!
we really strugged with their Defense tonight, no realy odd man rushes except the Rix SHG
on the PP, really seemed like teh Jamie Russel days, shoot from the blueline and hope something good happens
Mel's postgame interview:
We put ourselves behind the 8 ball in 1st period, thought we'd be in good shape, even when Rix scored, thought we wre good, but floodgates open
The penalties weren't penalties to save goals or anything, weren't team penalties
And 5x3 PP, not scoring, was critical
Our Kill on DU's 5x3 was good
Like our team, Du is best team we've seen
They're good with thier sticks, experiences, we outshot them, out attempted them, they scored timely goals
We were pressing, trying to make things happen, then give up good scoring opportunity
We need to stay the course, we'll score
We got most traffic in front of thier net, Murray was good, but he had some luck with him too,
When we needed a critical save, we didn't get it
Doesn't get any easier next weekend against UNO,
Back to work, but like a lot of things, need to work on areas we don't like, it's not anything major, individual mistake or bad play, a lot of little things
Rix working hard
Johsntone brothes are sitting on 0 goals, guys press and thinking offense instead of defense
Copley made some great saves, but a couple Mel didn't like 3rd and 4th goal, need to make those, may have been screened on 3rd goal, had no chance on 5th goal
We'll get back to work, see how trip goes Sunday, prob light Monday, work hard Tues/Wed, back off Thur practice
Fans have to be patient, good things will happen, we have a good team, this is a tough place to play, good reason their' #5 in country
