Re: Michigan Tech 2013-2014: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Realignment
Close game. Too many penalties! Brutally quick whistle too on the non goal.
Interesting 1st intermission interview with Dirk and Dave Shyiak, now a Maple Leafs scout, thought the realingment was good for exposure with Big Ten hockey, but bad with the breakup of WCHA, and thinks some schools will want back into the WCHA ina few years
Mel's postgame interview:
We came ready to play tonight, especially 1st half of 1st period until specialty teams came into play
Maturity for ND came through towards end of 3rd, dug too many holes
Gutsy effort, hats of to Pheonix, we'll win some games playing like this
Freshmen struggled a little more this game, playing a top 4 team in country, 3 freshmen defensemen and Walker played well, we started over handling the puck, need to be more simple
It's a tough building, that's why we scheduled it, see where we're at, liked our compete level, say wahat you want abotu refs, left the kids play
Day off will help after all PK/PP, some guys played a lot, we're resilient, we can play with them,
that was a goal, tired of calls like that, puck is net, never should've blown whistle, have to move on
Tough team SH, we gave too many chances on PK, too passive, we'll get some SHG though, can do better on PK
Goaltending, leaning towards Jamie Sunday, but we'll talk about it, Pheonix played well but saw a lot of pucks
Tell fans, be proud ofthis team, came into this buildign against a tough team, a lot of good things going on with this team, saw a lot of really good thigns with our team, this'll help us for WCHA,
We don't have Sova, Fillion, D. Johnstone, gutsy effort by these guys
What was ref conversation? He blew whistle when we were celebrating, but said he couldn't tell on video and watching clock when he blew whistle, ref should just watch puck on replay, never going to be happy with refs, can't control, refs not a real good job tonight, think Notre Dame would say same
