CC at Michigan Tech, 3/8 & 3/9

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

After winning their first game in St. Cloud since '98, Michigan Tech returns home for senior weekend, and a pair of dates with the team they've eliminated from the playoffs three times in 19 years. Scotty Owens must be relieved that these teams will no longer be in the same conference next year.

Discuss.

I think Tech has a great chance at a sweep. They are at home, on small ice, and cc is not that good away from the springs. Will be tough of course but can be done.

Big chance for momentum for the Huskies.

Two games that WON'T determine who actually wins the Cup this weekend.

I can't wait to see how the final weekend shakes out. Hard to believe that WI, currently in 4th, could by the thinnest of chances win the cup, but could also not get home ice all in the span of two games! Sucks to be Bucky.

I just want to see us end up in Madison. Pure selfishness there... but I want to go so some more games

Hey! Keep it down in here! I can't hear myself think with all this passionate hockey talk.

OK, it's Friday, begin. Blake is due for a breakout game, Rixx speed/energy line will produce, and Siego gives the home crowd two farewell goals.

Big win for the Huskies tonight, 2-0 shutout in Jamie Phillips first start in front of the home crowd. Michigan Tech retained "the Belt" and will go for the sweep tomorrow night. Currently UMD is winning so if that happens and BSU loses, tomorrow is meaningless to MTU from a standings standpoint.

I didn't get to listen at all being in Europe but it sounded like a very defensive game, which is surprising. I wonder if CC has been shut out all year. Can anyone enlighten me on the game? And what about the crowd? Do we see Genoe tonight?

Tech played a great defensive game and smothered CC's offensive talent. Crowd = 2,639. Colorado has been shut out once, 2-0 by Cornell in October.

Impressive to shut them down. They've got the ability to score pretty much at will. They've had a very strange season.

Re: CC at Michigan Tech, 3/8 & 3/9

I was really hoping for more offense from MTU given the number of goals CC has given up this year, but a win is a win and I'll take it. I'm still amazed at the fact that a team with 30 points won't have home ice this season.

I know. Amazing end to the season. Should lead to a great postseason. Could be some surprising results in the first round.

I don't think I'll be surprised by any upsets (if they occur) in 3 vs 10 through 6 vs 7 match-ups this year. I don't think that the gap between the teams is all that large this season (the higher seeded teams may have been more consistant over the course of the season but I don't think they hold the same raw talent level advantage that they have in the past
