BEAUTIFUL 2nd goal for the Huskies by Blake P, quickly followed by another Huskies goal less then a minute later for a 3-1 lead.

Awesome puck movement on the PP for the one-timer bomb from #15 Johnstone!
4-1 in favor of the HUSKIES!!!!!

Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

I thought Tech looked much more solid on Sunday and it was accurately reflected in the score. Pretty much a scoreless 3rd period until Tech added one in the last minute, but nice to see Tech get a lead and then keep their foot on the gas and not let LSSU back into the game. I hope that is the sign of an older team knowing that when you get a team down you don't let them get back up and give them any hope they can get back in the game.
Overall nice weekend by Tech.

Phillips was much better today, giving up 1 goal and the offense continued to roll, 10 goals in 2 games and a road sweep of LSSU to start the season...now 2 weeks of nothing before MTU heads to FSU for a tougher challenge.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

Nice win tonight, 26 shots in a period is impressive!


Mel's postgame interview summary:
Good overall weekend considering practice time
Had a lot of guys play well
we will talk about penalty situation, need to relax and know what we're doing
Good mix on the ice, we have depth, every line can score, Steman/Hietila, and top scorers had a goal this weekend
Jamie made keys saves tonight in crtical moments
These are tough games with a not a ton of shots, great game
looking forwad to work on PP/PK forecheck, need to work on Dzone coverage
L'esperance real strong game, nice plays a few good shots
Auk was calm with the puck, he had a real good game, both guys will only get better
Overall really happy with our freshmen, there's guys in Houghton that could play too
When you win, want to keep playing, but have 2 weeks off then Ferris
Intrasquad game helping local junior hockey on Saturday, bring your skates for after the game, great for our players to interact with community
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

Still some things to work on before the Ferris games, but this was a very complete victory. Great job with a very important four points, boys!
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

Getting the sweep tonight was huge. There will be no easy goals or league points two weeks from now, in Big Rapids.

Some of the guys need to work on staying disciplined. The powerplay can only improve with more practice time, they should've had a couple more goals with the extra man this weekend.

I had problems with WCHA.TV. Lose the audio during the second and third periods after rebuffering. Anyone else have this problem???

I got kicked out once and it froze when trying to buffer a couple times but that could have been my wifi. The annoying thing is when it freezes it asks you to log in again. Then when I log in I get an error saying I'm logged in more than once. So am I logged in or not??? It always makes me re log in twice. In general it was okay. It just seems like we get less for more money this year. Maybe I'll make use of the mobile features when I'm traveling. That would make up for the price change.

No complaints at all. I was able to watch our guys win and Ferris spanking Michigan at the same time. Running Chrome on Win7.

Although the lack of knowledge from the LSSU guys was a little comical at times. Wondering why they didn't call icing when he shot it in from outside the blue line... explaining how Pietila played his high school hockey in the U.P., etc.

Hey, go easy now, I was one of those guys :cool:

On the Pietila comment I got him mixed up with a former Gremlin player from a few years ago. Very similar name, remember him playing against Soo High.

As for wondering about an icing shot from outside a blueline, can't say I remember that one....but, then again icing can happen when the puck is shot outside a blueline, so not sure what this one is all about.

It's a good thing my goal for this year wasn't to go mistake-free, I'd be off to a rough start;)

Sir, I apologize, I'm embarrassed now because it's easier making fun of "the other guys" when you think they're not listening. I figured the Pietila conversation was just a brain fart thinking of Ted P. of Kingsford who was a standout a couple years ago, or Joel P. from Houghton, or possibly even Blake Hietala who is also on the MTU team who played his freshman year in Houghton. Easy mixup to make with all the Pietila's skating around. The other call I thought of was when the puck was re-directed at the blue line and someone wondered if it shouldn't have been icing, easy play to miss.
Overall thanks for doing a tough job that I couldn't do, appreciate the dedication it takes, good luck to the Lakers here on out. You're right that the team put in a good strong effort and will win a bunch of games if they keep that edge.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

Good to see us be the team scoring the empty net goal instead of the one allowing them, but if we take this many penalties, or keep allowing the first goal, Ferris will kill us. Good start and a lot of positives for sure.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

Sorry for not having the live chat working tonight. I was traveling back from seeing my mom, who's in the hospital. Hopefully, we'll have a full slate of moderators this year to keep it going.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

Nice sweep of a team that I feel you're clearly better than. I'd hoped to see today's game, but then we had a tire puncture on the way back. Good times!

You can split with Ferris. I bet that you will.

I was so far in the woods that I barely got cell coverage. I didn't at the cabin at all on Verizon, although the lady got AT&T coverage. In fact, there was only one spot of Verizon LTE in all of town, and I found it by accident.

Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

Looking forward to next series. If it were next week it would be a WCHA matchup for 1 vs 2 in the PWR.

The time off will give them a chance for full practice with the coaching staff; although 2 weeks between games is a long time.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

how could anyone mix up the Pietila/Hietala guys? there are only about 1200 of them playing in the UP in the last 5 years. I just wish more had the same first name too. so we would have to go with Chad R. or Blake J. :)
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

The key to a good season is to sweep at home, and sweep on the road, and sweep intrasquad scrimmages, and sweep all neutral-site tournaments. That should take care of things.
