Why is a Michigan fan trolling in your thread but not bothering to post in his own? Oh wait, he's a Michigan fan...

We looked disinterested for most of the game, despite dominating the shot count. Racine will get a lot of credit, but I don't think he was all that great; he didn't have to be.

A horrible day. WCHA 0, Big Ten 2. So much for the WCHA being as competitive as the other conferences.
Today's game is pointless. At best we finish third behind UofM and MSU...

Yesterday was rough. They looked good for a few periods, but couldn't put in the goals. I don't think Racine stood on his head at all. We just didn't score. It'll be interesting to see how many changes there are today with the L and the short week before games in Madison.
It looks like he'll be 20 before next season, and with him putting up points, he must be a candidate to come in next year already.

I have a feeling he will come in next year if there is an early departure, otherwise, 2016.

Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015
I seem to get worked up every year about something related to this tournament, and it usually has nothing to do with the game results.
I think you're upset about the wrong things. Yes, the result was less than expected, but if I were a Tech fan, I'd be livid with how my team - the HOST of the tournament - is consistently treated as second rate. Yesterday was just the latest example... how in the hell is the tournament host playing the afternoon game? I get that it's a little different with Michigan being the "co-host", but to have both invited teams playing the prime time spot? Bull****.A horrible day. WCHA 0, Big Ten 2. So much for the WCHA being as competitive as the other conferences.

Uhm, this started with Russell, he wanted to rotate in and out of the the early game, not always play the late game to give his team more rest going into day 2. It was a choice that I believe Mel has agreed to continue.

Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015
Taken one way, it sounds very pessimistic. I do realize the spirit is to give them more rest for the championship game, but seeing how the team has played in the not too recent past, it could also be taken as, "Well, we're going to be playing the afternoon game the second day, so if we don't have to always play at night, that'll give us a break." I know coaches don't think that way, or at least aren't supposed to think that way, but the negativity can sort of sneak in.
As I said, it's just the most recent example of things that bother me. I wish I could remember some of the other things that have bugged me in the past, because if these things bother me so much, how much more should it be bothering the true fanbase?
I didn't realize that. However, knowing that isn't helping me.

They showed they can skate and move the puck well, However they definitely didn't have much fire and grit. The way the series ended back in October, big hits and lots of talking, I figured both teams would come out with a whole lot of Attitude. That wasn't the case. Hoping to see them salvage a split to day. A little more fire and a little more puck luck around the net.
They need to get L'Esperance in the line-up.. They would have won if he was in there.

Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015
I'm getting a bit annoyed that the upperclassmen can't step up and score when games are on the line.
and I agree with mel. the extra few hours of rest and the amount of publicity and buzz that night games get do not cancel each other out. as founder and host Tech should always get the premiere slot in GLI.

I can't really comment on the game as I didn't see one second of it because I don't have the right channel package with the right provider apparently. Tried a half dozen different ways to see it, but none worked.
The part that always bothered me was that Michigan and State were never a first round match-up. The powers that be always tried to preserve the possibility that they would get an MSU v Michigan championship game for the better ratings.
