Did Chris Connor get a two way contract with the wings? I see that they put him on waivers.

Okay, first and foremost, the canned goal song and occasional playing of other canned music during stoppages it being looked into... The Misfits President got to sample it right before the game but the recording is low quality and she can't even make out what it is. Plus the Mac has terrible speakers so it makes it that much worse.

When the team starts winning on a regular basis it won't matter who plays what after goals. It will all be drowned out by 4,000 screaming fans.

The thing is that what we do after a goal at MacInnes feels like one of the few things we have been doing right the whole time. Canned music at the Mac is never a good idea...that sound system is horrid.

Per NHL.com: "Conner was signed to a one-year, two-way contract this offseason."
Once players start hitting each other for real and the injuries start, Conner will find a home on a 3rd / 4th line again. Maybe not with the Wings, but he will catch on. I admit I was looking forward to the other Ryan Johnson and Chris Conner playing on the same team.

I completely agree. How about a canned "goal celebration" video on our new end of rink jumbotron, which will certainly come with Dolby 4000.1 surround - A speaker in every seat and that subwoofer from Back to the Future right over center ice.. ('Cuz you know someone at Tech has the skills to sync all those channels up!)

Too bad there won't be a display at the end of the rink, since it'll be centerhung.

Okay, first and foremost, the canned goal song and occasional playing of other canned music during stoppages it being looked into. I know who is the one running it but I don't know if it was his idea or the team's. But the pep band had minimal warning about it right before the game and were simply told that a goal song would play first. The Misfits President got to sample it right before the game but the recording is low quality and she can't even make out what it is. Plus the Mac has terrible speakers so it makes it that much worse.

Edit: The response I got was "It was a team request to change things up this season."

I figured that might have been it. I know UND requested Chelsea Dagger after goals last year. They played a few seconds of it, then let their band have the fight song.

If it's the team's idea, I'm okay with this. The band's first and most important purpose is to serve the team. Their desires come first.

Re: Michigan Tech '11-'12 Season Thread I: Hope Springs Eternal

Yeah, I agree that if the team wants a little more of a pro-style atmosphere, then they should roll with it.

My motto for this year is "if it's different, it's probably better". I guess in that spirit, I'm okay with it too. Just get everyone on the same page already!

UMD's Band plays when we score. Then they play our "goal song" at the next break.

Just saw this, poor dorito, I guess this isn't a surprise to any of us though. He bounced around a lot last year between forward and defense. Good to see him going out respectfully though.

Also, not sure if anyone has mentioned it but we found out there is a new skating announcer for intermissions. Apparently her name is Rachel Chopp and she is a third year student that is part of the Tech skating club. Sooo basically Kali on skates.

I thought the canned music was terrible; it was way too loud for their sound system and you really didn't know what the words were.

Just got word from a good source that Evan Witt and Alan L'Esperance will be joining Ricky Doriott on the cut list.

The wings have some tough decisions. Last night they played quite a few new guys and nyquist has made I'm sure, it but conner was not in the line up which is too bad.
I had never seen fillpula close up and the guy is really impressive.

What's the over/under on attendance this weekend?

Last weekend's attendance was about 2500 I think.

So what's the rule on team transfer if you get cut from the team?
Can he just enroll somewhere at semester and catch on with another program?
I need to know who is going to want to buy my Doriott jersey since I can't wear it to Tech games any more.

So long "Cool Ranch"... It was fun while it lasted.

3200 and change! 4000 plus for Wisconsin!

Put the bong down...

I would guess probably about the same number would show for AIC, perhaps a couple hundred more. If they take care of business with a couple wins, then Wisconsin will bring in 3000+, though a couple hundred of them will be wearing the wrong color stripes.
