Did we seriously have a 5-3 for 1:57 and not get even a single shot on goal?

That was awful. Slow, lackadaisical passing and no movement at all requiring Western to rotate and open up shooting lanes. Coming off a timeout that's pathetic.

Watched the last 6 minutes of the third, we look really flat, just no spring in our step, no drive. I'm afraid of what this overtime will bring.

Our powerplay is absolutely pathetic, an absolute joke.
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

Absolutely awful. Can't win an offensive zone face off to save their lives, lazy entries, no urgency.
I don't know that I've seen a worse powerplay in college hockey this year than we've shown tonight.

We didn't deserve it, we looked like shit and got what we deserved.
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

Again, I don't know what the issue is with our powerplay (or offense overall), but we'd have likely won if it were converting.

On to Notre Dame. Even with the Irish departing HEA, I expect home cooking with the officiating, just like the last time we were in South Bend. If they can't score, we're boned.

We've played 24 games this season, and only two forwards have more than 4 goals. Zero goals from our forwards in this tournament. Do they have any offensive abilities at all?

I truly don't understand it, I honestly thought Heinonen would follow in Kero and Petan's footsteps and put up a career senior season but he has be an absolute black hole out there, just nothing. The only reason we are looking as good as we have is because of beef and our defense which has played up to or better than expectations after that terrible start. If even one one of those spots slips slightly we're going to be in a world of hurt with this lack of offense.

Just really had a bad feeling as WMU had more jump in OT.

Mel's post game with Dave Ellis:
Good hockey game, tough, needed a bounce or a break
Not a lot of Grade A chances
Haven't practiced 5x3 in a month. Didn't look good.
Didn't have a sense of urgency on PP all game
Told Angus he did a fantastic job.
Seniors are disappointed.
Tough schedule.
Guys have done a good job without Baltus, Steman and Reinke.
Great fans and support.
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

A win could've continued the momentum and jumpstarted a great second half. Now, I'm concerned. This team HAS to figure out how to put pucks in the net. I'd be less worried if it was a 4-3 OT loss, but 1-0 is just unacceptable.
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

They played not to lose in this one. They've played better this year that is for sure. Wish they had played a little looser. They just seemed a little tight.
No one seemed to want to be the hero and take control.
Great game by Beef. That leg in the air save should make ESPN highlights of the night.
Make a fresh start at Little Caesars Arena next year.
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

In fairness to Tyler he needs to be the finisher, I can count on one hand how many times he has been setup for his shot. Just my opinion, but we need to take our guys with offensive upside, put them together and form 2 scoring lines. Should have shortened the bench in OT, probably should have went 3 lines max tonight in OT.

Heinonen Lucchini Jackson
Gould Smith L' Esperance
Gillies Steman GerrIe
Beretta Neville Sturos

Time to give Pedersen, Brice, and Anderson a look.

So disappointing to miss an opportunity, but Western was flying through the neutral zone all night, The Tech D and Beef are to be commended.
