Looks like 2-4 inches for saturday.

As far as teams visiting, I agree with shirtless. My top 5. Union, Cornell, Minnesota, PSU, Quinnipiac, Mass Lowell. I guess that's 6.

I don't really care to see north dakota ever again, I think WMU is a possibility, though I'm not a big fan of them. I'd love to see an Ivy league team come up but I don't think it's possible. GLI maybe though.

Huskies number 1 baby!!!!

After the modest attendance bump with WMU in the building, it's a safe bet that the GLI will be a Michigan-centric tourney for the foreseeable future. At any rate, it's booked through 2016 - Ferris, Northern, and then Western again.

I'm conflicted with that because I like the big names of BC and BU, but at the same time they never really brought much else to the tournament.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

I'd like to see teams we havent seen before or see very little of. the Nacho teams, other than Duluth, I dont care if I ever see again unless its to kick their butts in a championship game.

Honestly no reason to have MSU there. They bring little to the table even fan-wise.

On the other side of the coin, the Detroit area is NOT as college hockey crazy as many think. It might be Hockeytown but that refers to the Wings and little more.

The GLI used to be that way in the 80s/90s often.
I'm happy to see the real rivalry coming back into play with the Michigan-centric GLI returning. I think it's a good thing for the state, for hockey in the state and for the teams.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

I would much rather see an eastern invite team. An all-Michigan tournament takes away much of the prestige of the tourny. This way makes it like the MN Northstar cup without the hideous trophy.

i'd love to see that matchup, but don't think it will happen. let's just say Cam and Coach Pearson aren't on the friendliest of terms.

Gameday in the Copper Country. Snow on the ground and blue line luncheon at noon.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

Teams from the Bi6 and NCHC are not going to be able to do those 2-1 deals anymore, not if they want to fill their schedule. Both leagues need a TON of non-conference games and they are not going to get them by ticking off the other schools in the area. That scam worked when they only need 4-6 games a year, now supply and demand will turn the tables or they'll be taking on teams that require long road trips. If Tech continues to increase their win total each season, teams will be looking to play us and we won't have to go looking for games.

good Blue Line Lunch. good for Red for walking up the hill, taking the time to talk to us and answer questions. Mel sounded relaxed, lets hope the team is too. the Stanley Cup was there and the handlers talked for a bit about their jobs and fun stories of travels with the cup. quite entertaining. also love the pictures of the Cup sitting in the Huskies locker room.

It was a good one! Should drawn the 50/50 from the cup though... :D
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

Great game! Great to see Jamie playing so well!


Mel's postgame interview:
1st thank you to our fans, big difference when they turn out like that
we were ready to play, Jamie made some keys saves to let us get our feet under us
told team we have to play better, and need to clean up some things, but over any W feels good
Both staffs would prob like to see less penalties, play them 5x5
Baltus has worked hard and looked good, there are a number of players that havne't played that looked good
Kero GWG with extra attacker, really good game for Tanner
Prob did not score on our best chances
Michigan good at finding late man coming into zone, we were a victim of that a bit
We'll watch the game and look at things we can do better, and see about the lineup
Our guys were tired, warm building, but what a great night, looking forward to making it a great weekend
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

The hockey is speaking for itself. We're all drunk with jubilation, in stunned silence.

This is going to be a fun year. :)

Finish 'em off Huskies!
