I'm not sure. According to the list I saw on the Tech thread, WWMT (Kalamazoo/Grand Rapids) is an ASN affiliate and should carry the game, but it's the principal CBS Network station in SW Michigan so I highly doubt they are in fact carrying the game. I'll probably check some TV stations around game time to see if I can find one that is carrying the game. Have the Internet stream of the radio broadcast to listen to also.
The game will be on WWMT-2 which is actually CW, not CBS...its digital 3-2 and also known as CW 7.
And Bemidji is playing much better now than when we beat them earlier in the season at their place. The Lakers need to at least split with them next weekend in the Soo. A win at Tech today would be great; even a tie would be helpful in the standings. If they can get the first goal of the game, it would be a big boost to their confidence and give them a better chance at getting points.
Not sure exactly. Crawford had mentioned earlier in the 3rd that Globke was headed to the dressing room, with the trainer and not the equipment manager, so it sounds like it was injury related and not equipment related. Anyway Crawford said Globke was very upset and yelling back at the refs when he was headed to the dressing room. Presumably one of the Tech players did something to Globke that the refs missed and Globke definitely wasn't happy about it. Since he did come back to play, it probably wasn't a serious injury. He no doubt was frustrated and still pi**ed at the refs and let it get to him late in the game. Must have said something to the refs that they obviously didn't like. Damon wasn't happy with him in the brief post game chat with Crawford and said it was unacceptable; it hurt the team. Damon also said pretty much the same thing about Henke for his major penalty although he did say he still needed to see the tape; but my impression is that he must have seen enough of it to suspect it was a good call since he said that also was unaccetable and hurt the team. Damon and the coaches didn't like the major call against Hults, but again he said he wanted to see the tape of it. He said it looked like the refs intitially didn't call anything but then got together and not only called a penalty after the fact but a major one; sounded like maybe the Laker coaches thought the Tech bench talked the refs into it. Will probably know more on Monday's Hockey Show. If after seeing the tape Damon changes his mind and agrees with the Hults call, I think he'll say so. And if he still disagrees, he'll say that also.
Humitz is a small guy but is supposed to be a very good skater. Damon wants tihe Lakers to play more uptempo, so yes skating ability is very important and it's likely that Muckalt recognizes that in Humitz and can help him develop.
Hults is also a pretty big guy so it's easier for the refs to make that kind of call on him even if it isn't warranted.
