Michigan Tech 2012-13 Season II - Beware of Huskies in the Spoiler Role...

Re: Michigan Tech 2012-13 Season II - Beware of Huskies in the Spoiler Role...

I tend to agree with Hn, I think we will see Phillips on friday and Genoe on saturday, with Genoe playing no matter what.

I think if we do indeed have the goaltending issues straight, we might be a handful for whomever we play, especially considering Hf's reverse juju. Who knows she might be in Jamaica now concocting some new voodoo doll with scott owens name on it and pins coming out the sides. Or maybe that would be curious george.

I also agree on the winning filling up the building, however I'd ad that once this happens, I think demand will be much higher than expected.

I don't see how Copley would not play next weekend if he is suppose to be our #1 goalie. Giving him the weekend off heading into playoffs doesn't make sense. Having him only play one night makes sense...who knows though.

I used to go into the archives and do research on a regular basis, but now I can only find them going back to 2002 or so, so the info on the 1970-71 huskies I have been looking for is no longer on the web site, do I have that correct?

I believe that that team went undefeated at home and so should be one of the top teams.

Well in particular I wanted to confirm my memory of the season and to check and see if I remembered it right. The best college hockey team I ever saw in any uniform, was what I think was the 70-71 Huskies. Undefeated at home, beat the us nationals, but lost on a disputed goal to north dakota in the wcha playoffs at madison. that was one terrible call and it really cost us.

Tech had played poorly against a very mediocre und team and at the last minute mounted a come back. Gary Crosby scored what would have been the tying goal, but it hit the back bar inside the net up at the top, and bounced out. it was pretty quick and though all the tech players on the ice at the time, I believe one was Darwin Mott, celebrated and stopped playing, the light never went on and the goal was disallowed. We lost by one and due to the format that year, were out of the playoffs and the ncaa's. Even though we had most likely the best team.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go back to Jrs and try to catch on elsewhere like Matt Schepke did with Michigan State.

i'm surprised he didn't go back to Jr's this year. i'm still puzzled as to why Mel brought him in on a full scholly straight out of high school? I think Mel had sticker shock when he took a look at the D corps after he took the job and probably thought he could develop him fast.

That, and losing Sam Labrecque after he switched his commitment to Clarkson when Russell resigned. Freed up a roster spot, and Mel decided he needed as much competition for playing time as possible despite ultimately getting Sweeney late in the recruiting cycle.

they also lost Fillion for fall semester.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2012-13 Season II - Beware of Huskies in the Spoiler Role...

I guess cutting ticket prices is all the rage in the "old" WCHA. Tech goes to $10 for the last regular season games at home. If we go back to SCSU for the playoffs tickets are only $12. Tickets were $25 each at SCSU for last weekends regular season games?!? If SCSU with their local population can't fill their building as a potential WCHA champ for the playoffs, I think Tech should be thrilled to get 3500-4000 in the Mac for any game (and that's just sad for SCSU).

It's early, but interesting to see there has been virtually NO response to the cheap ticket prices for this weekend. I'm watching section I for Saturday. A day ago there was one ticket sold in the whole section. This morning, it's up to 5 seats sold.

Thursday morning, beginning of the last day of the discount: 8 seats sold, 96 available in section I for Saturday.

don't know. The only place I've seen it advertised is on Facebook, but I haven't listened to the radio or watch TV this week so who knows. We will see how much a run on tickets they get today, I'm pretty sure anyone who cares would know about the discount.
Although one person told me last night they were going to pick up tix today because it's probably the last time we'll see Blake play in Houghton. I myself guess we might get one more year from him.

I spoke with Lars Helminen who happens to be related to Blake. He seemed pretty confident that Blake will play for MTU next season, if we can get three years out of some of these high end guys, we have a chance at keeping them for 4 years. I do have a feeling that 3 years will become a norm for drafted players though just based on what happen with Justin Schultz.

I don't think theMac will sell out for the weekend. There are over 700 seats remaining for both nights and the promo. price ended tonight. I would guess over 3k will show which is good.

Friday morning, sale is over. 23 seats sold in section I. Price does not appear to matter, or should I say demand for tickets is inelastic relative to the price. You either win and charge whatever you want, or you suck and nobody will come even when you give away tickets.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2012-13 Season II - Beware of Huskies in the Spoiler Role...

Last weekend somewhere it was mentioned that Bob Motzko toured the MacInnes as they were preparing renovation plans for the NHC. Anybody remember where that was?
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2012-13 Season II - Beware of Huskies in the Spoiler Role...

I'm pretty sure it was during one of the pre-game interviews with Dirk, not sure if Motzko toured or their arena staff. Didn't hear the pre-game interviews, but Dirk mentioned that Motzko had said that during the Mel Pearson show.
