Re: Michigan Tech 17-18 Preseason - MacNaughton, Broadmoor... What's this year bringi
A game? That was worthy of multiple nights off. Just another dirt***** Fairbanks thug. Those are the kind of hits that cause long term injury.
If the league(s) really want to get rid of that kind of dirty $h*t they need to start giving out more than a game at a time. 3-4 game suspensions would clean $h!t up fast. Players would learn, and the coaches wouldn't be recruiting the ones that play that way. That being said I have to ask just what Auk was thinking driving the net, head down, with a 5-1 lead with seconds left. Most anyone who has ever played the game knows to keep your head up at the end of a game like that. All he has to do is take the puck to the corner, or play a little catch with a teammate. Trying to take it to the net with a second left opens himself up to that kind of message being sent.
I am not convinced it was as bad as it looked at first blush. We'll see. I'm glad auk is ok.
Otherwise what the troll said. I liked the pk, a lot. the PP not so much. I thought the defensive wasn't all that great but UA didn't finish. I'd like to see us do a better job of staying out of the box. I thought we deserved all the penalties we got and they let a lot go on both sides.
I think as a whole the face-offs need to be better.
The way Dirk called it I thought Auk got blinded sided standing around doing nothing. But then I see the replay and he's trying cut around the D and take the puck to the net, head down. So While I agree it was a dirty hit. I think Auk put himself in a pretty good position for someone to take some frustrations out on him.. Need to be smarter than that.
yep, Packy and the D got a little bit of puck luck last night. But that's most nights when you're winning. So I cut 'em some slack on that. Agree, face-offs again where not good, something like 25 for 56 (or about). Agee again, we need to stay out of the box too, but hey at least it gave 'em a lot of much needed PK practice.
Two weeks to work on somethings... GO Huskies!
You know what I really though was dirty was the hit on Reitmeier into the open door. That UAF player should have been able to see the door open and still went for the hit. The more I watch it the more it looks like he was trying to time the hit with open door. Also whoever is supposed to be closing the door sure wasn't in much of hurry with play coming right at them. Way more dangerous than the hit on Auk and totally bush league.
