Re: Michigan Tech 2011-12 Season Thread, Part II: You're gonna need a bigger bandwago
You are right huskyfan, most were predicting single digit wins this year, we're nearly .500, this season has gone beyond my expectations!
But it's still too bad the big crowd couldn't see a goal tonight, rough road ahead heading to Grand Forks.
Mel's postgame thoughts:
it was a good game at the start, the 1st goal would be critical
We were fine until they got ahead, they started trapping and we were forcing
We're right there, felt good about 3rd period, got some grade A chances, but didn't go in
Massa had a big game, need your goalie to step up when you're battling for home ice
We were sloppy, looked a little tired in PP, they're aggresive, other teams have not done that but we'll see more of that
Don't want to overreact, tight series for 5 periods, but will review the lineup, could've used Milos
Felt good about our lineup, that's a very good hockey team, to this day, that might've been the best hockey team we've played
They're a physical team, we might've tried to do too much with the puck istead of smiple plays
Guys are pushing, but they need to understand there's a certain way we need to play to be successful
Told the players I'm disapointed, not in them, but that we couldn't play better and find a way to win this game, we'll be back and get to work on Monday
6 games to go and can still do some damage in this league
we've played better lately on the road, doesn't matter where we play, more of style and how we play, we'll be ready
