They were great at Michigan, I think the misfits are really finding their grove this year. Matt has been doing great so far.
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

Great to see the '75 team and have a chance to charm with Bobbly Lorimer & Mike Zuke. That was a pretty amazing team.

it really was.. Great players, but who are all those old guys taking bows?

I thought Tech didn;t play as well as last weekend tonight. A lot of mid ice turnovers, errant passes etc. Redmond was good. Profs to NMU for playing a very tough close checking game.
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

Can someone explain to me why the MTU recap video includes PBP commentary from the NMU guys? I don't recall this problem last year. Surely we can get Dirk in there, even if his audio has to be aligned for some sort of delay?

I'm guessing it's not an NMU guy, it's probably TV6 instead of WCHA.tv
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

Saw Tech play live for the first time this year and was very impressed with the speed and confidence of all the freshman; and there were a lot of them playing. It restores my optimism to see these young guys playing so well especially the CERTIFIED ANGUS shutout. Sometimes lucky is just as important as being good.

It wasn't NMU. It's possible that TV6 used some of their highlights and some from WCHA TV. Our audio wouldn't have been attached to any video tonight, nor will it be tomorrow in Marquette.

I got to visit with them the third period. Great group of guys. Lorimer told me "we had a decent run with some competitive teams". Uh, yeah you did!
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

Appreciate the win and really like the effort, but we need to start moving the puck. Way too many individual efforts out there. We'll start winning as a team when we start playing like one. Still feels like a group of guys that don't know (trust) each other well enough yet. I hope it's that and not a roster of guys worried more about their stats than the win.

There was a semi 2 on 1 thought it was Smith and Gerrie, instead of just shooting the Tech center tried to give it to the up man, and it just missed. The only time I saw no pass was on Jackson's goal. That worked. Which plays are you referring to as I did not see that last night.

I agree with you, not sure what game superfly was watching but most of the issues we had were because we tried to pass too much and they were either intercepted or off target, I would actually like to see more times where someone trys to do something without passing instead of making an errant pass, I honestly thought our weakest part in that game was that we were too unselfish and trying to be too fancy with the puck.

I agree they need to move it more and move it sooner than they do now, but I don;t think last night was their best game.

Jackson didn't share it very well last week either.

The coaches mentioned on the radio broadcast that they need to move the puck sooner and have better puck movement. I totally agree. NMU was able to clog things up in large part because we were slow recognizing the need to pass.
On that 2 on 1, I thought he waited a bit too long to try the pass, and his buddy didn't do enough to get open.

On another note, I have a question for shirtless. Shirtless, lets say we win the first game at the GLI. so we would be 1-1 -1 vs Michigan. who wins the comparison?

Third,
I watched 4 games last night. UAA is better than people think. Bemidji maybe not as good, WMU is big, fast and hard nosed but needs more offensive skill, and BC played quite well vs a very defensive PC squad. And the crowd at Denver was pretty sparse. in fact only maybe 60% full.

To answer your pairwise question. If H2H is tied it would come down completely to RPI standings. COP is also in there, but won't matter in a H2H tie situation since RPI is also the tie breaker. So, if Tech and Michigan are tied in H2H, Tech wins COP, but Michigan wins RPI, then the comparisons are tied 2-2 with Michigan winning the RPI tie breaker.
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

Tech had two solid periods tonight. The game got away from them a bit in the 3rd, and they were lucky to have built up the lead early.

Nothing less than a sweep in East Lansing will be acceptable.
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

So close to back to back shutouts for Redmond on his first 2 starts, although can't complain about 1 goal given up on a weekend. Definitely a good game tonight, the two SH goals were awesome, at least one of them should be a top 5 play for the week IMO. Still taking too many penalties though, need to work on that still.

Mitch Reinke is impressive as hell, does not look like a freshman out there. Reid Sturos also impressed me tonight, he was all over the ice and the puck was on his stick so often and he made smart decisions, he looked very good on the PP and PK out there. Hope we can keep it rolling next weekend in East Lansing, this team is definitely looking like they can be very dangerous.

Nice weekend sweep.


Mel's postgame with Dirk:
disapointed in the goal we gave up, don't want to give up anything
happy with 5 goals, but would like to keep that at 0, especially the way Angus played, oustanding
Out PK did a gret job, eventhought gave up the 1 goal
Angus was very very good tonight
Big road win, 3 big league points, we're starting to play well
Like to see Heinonen, Steman, Baltus score, good for Reinke to get a goal too
Neville goal, real good weekend overall, especially PK, faceoffs too and blocked shots
Angus read things well, he was good, haven't seen any nervous, solid tonight
Back to the road, MSU, these road games will make us better, have to find a way to win and take crowd out of it
Thanks to fans that made it to Marquette
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

Great game by the Huskies tonight. The big guns were firing, Heinonen, Steman, and nice to see Balts get his first.
Angus was superb. Nice job Tech faithful, Mel even stopped to insure a little kid left the rink with a game puck. Go Tech!

Anyone else notice our guys leaning over the boards the whole game while the northern players sat their hands? It could have been 12-1. I never feel sorry for who plays us but they need to get motivated.

Mel tossed the game puck to a kid in a northern jersey. It was the same one that hit him in the back halfway through the third. One of my kids got 3 pucks, a stick, and a high five from Dave Ellis. She was on fire.
 
Nice article from CBC
