Just did similar last year for a Game Issued Danny DeKeyser Red Wings jersey from Hockeytown Authentics. It was cheaper to get that jersey than it would have been to get an authentic lettered. :eek:

There are a few I've likely over-payed on, but there are a good number in my collection that I got for almost a steal.

The problem with 2 and 2 is, with this schedule we can't afford more than about 5 losses and still make an at large spot in the tournament. Its math. We're 2 weeks in and can't lose more than 3, maybe 4 more games. That's a tough row to hoe.

Hitting the panic button a little early wouldn't you say? it's not even the end of October yet. long ways to go. Comparing the start this year to last season and you're going to be very disappointed. 10-0 with a number 1 ranking. that's not going to happen again anytime soon.

I'm with you, it way too early to be worried about that. MTU certainly needs to be better than .500 at the end but there is plenty of time to get there. Winning the NC games will be huge plus not losing to the. Bottom of the conference but in the grand scheme of things, a loss to NMU and FSU won't look bad at the end.

Tanner Kero has picked up right where he left off last spring with the Blackhawks AHL team - Rockford Icehogs... I find it hard to believe we won't see him in a Blackhawks sweater at some point this season.

Might be happening sooner rather than later...
Blackhawks recall Kero

The 'Hawks next game is Thursday in the 'Peg.

Great atmosphere at the SDC Saturday night. Was great to be there in person. In regards to the lineup, I don't see Boeing or Lucchini coming out anytime soon. Same with L'Esperance. Not sure who the odd men out will be? I've not been impressed with Gillies at all....even going back to last year. Maybe this will light a fire under him.

Jackson and Gillies have not found their stride.
I think Vallis and P. Anderson will get more time.

That's one of the main reasons I got into game used/worn jerseys. In college I pretty sizable collection of "authentic" and replica NHL jerseys. I doubt they are worth 10% of what I paid today because they're a commodity over the counter item. Game used on the other hand is one of maybe a handful, has some historical value and if you are reasonable in what you acquire, you can get it for WAY less than the "pro quality / authentic / on-ice" jerseys sold in stores. You can go to a dealer than handles NHL teams and get a game used jersey of some cup-of-coffee NHL player for like $100. Sure its nobody you've every heard of, but it's $100 and already has a name and numbers on it. They get big bucks for the big name players, but they also need to move hundreds of jerseys from players no one knows or cares about and will forget next year. Not to mention game used jerseys are what the teams actually wear on the ice - you're not going to get any more authentic. NHL retail over the counter "authentics" are pretty much what the players wear, but NFL "authentic" isn't even close to the what the players get for game use.

In my case, I rarely want a big name player in the first place. For hockey, it's goons and goalies. For football, it's someone I'm just a fan of. I mean, I have a Goddam Kluwe (former punter) jersey. I just want a player I have some sort of fandom for. Hell, I still sport my Vinny Testaverde creamsicle TB jersey.....

I happened to be in Milwaukee Saturday and caught Kero's last game before being called up. I counted at least 10 other MTU jerseys / shirts in the audience and there was a small but audible cheer when Tanner scored for the visiting Icehogs.

Anyone surprised that Even Anderson hasn't played yet? I haven't heard anything about him being injured, which would make him the only healthy skater to not play yet...
 
Re: 95th Season of Hockey- Michigan Tech Huskies 2015-2016 - Thread #1

Second page... unacceptable.
Hey did anyone notice we're playing Ferris this weekend?
It's been like what, 10 days since we last played them...
This must be what the Bi6 Mistake feels like every weekend.

I believe they moved one of the series to allow the ASU tourney to fit

I didn't realize he was high on the list to get a look but it would sure be nice to try him in lieu of Gillies for a couple games...

How do people like the new USCHO Logo? Might have to grow on me but I sure don't recognize the branding now!

Shirtless Guy you going to have" live chat" anytime this year. I usually participated on the away games. I enjoyed that it was fun. I am a season ticket holder, so I don't do the home games. Any chance of bringing that back?

It's nice to see the place sold out against Northern. I hope a bunch of people got turned away and regret not being there! I'm interested to see how many folks decide to come see Ferris. I'd consider it a screaming success to get 4000 in there.

I'm optimistically guessing the upper end of ~3500 for attendance both nights, anything more than that is gravy.
 
Re: 95th Season of Hockey- Michigan Tech Huskies 2015-2016 - Thread #1

I started a thread in the scores area for each of the NMU games and I was pretty surprised that no one else joined in. I was thinking since there was no tech hockey guide we'd have a few participants. I mean at least HF and Diehard, but no one but little old me...

Congratulations to Tanner and his family. I give him a lot of credit for his real hard work while he was at Tech.
