I will say one nice thing about Melrose - he's pretty much equally bad for everyone. It was worse in the old days when ESPN would trot out fat Bob Norton, who BJ'd any eastern team or kid who prepped at Woonsocket with that annoying Boston Brahmin. He was hands down the most unwatchable broadcaster in college hockey.

Forgot about Norton; you're exactly right.

Hope nobody leaves after this season. This core of returning players have some unfinished business.

Hello, coming from a Clarkson fan I thought you guys were the most exciting team at the regional by a long shot and I was heartbroken you lost that ND game especially with how it ended. Gould, L'Esperance, Lucchini are fun to watch and the way you activate your defensemen is extremely impressive and it makes us Clarkson fans jealous. I believe I've heard Michigan Tech is coming out east to Potsdam for 2 games next season with us coming to Houghton the following season so best of luck in those games, hopefully both of us will be at the top of our conference and we can both get into the national tournament next season as well.

Thanks. The Potsdam series would be a great road trip next year. I'd love to make that one.

Good Luck to you as well.

You'd like to think that would make for a good broadcast, but it won't. Good broadcasts come with two people who are familiar enough with each other to understand when to lay back, knowing the other person is coming in. I'm certainly not a professional, but I have a fair amount of experience and know what it's like to work with a new person —*even people who are professionals. It doesn't even matter if it's someone that you know really well — it just takes a little bit of time. Buccigross doesn't call hockey all of the time, but there's no way that you're letting (insert WCHA PBP guy's name here) and having him Bucci as the color guy. ESPN would never go for it.

Well it could have been worse. They could have used this guy to read the highlights package ("...and boom goes the dynamite"):

Bucci is a pretty die-hard college hockey guy, but I do feel Melrose is there simply because of his name. On my score card, I caught three references to Tech as "Michigan State" and Notre Dame was referred to as "North Dakota" once. So we did win that statistical category as well.

As for who would be better. I think it would be a good idea to have Bucci paired with one local radio / TV guy as his color man. John can do the play by play, but obviously someone local to the team would have way better color commetary to add to the broadcast.

Tech took this season much farther than a thought they would, however in the end, my prediction held that I though it wouldn't end well for Tech if the scoring started to add up. I had flashbacks to the NCAA tourney game vs SCSU when Watson fell down late in the game and ND went the other way on a break-away. Fortunately that wasn't the end, but the stick breaking sequence didn't leave much better of a taste in my mouth.

Tech had a heck of a run down the stretch and no doubt surprised a lot of people. On to next season. Now we'll just wait and see who remains to be a part of that team. Hopefully someone simply writes "In Overtime: Notre Dame 4 - Michigan Tech 3" on the locker room white board and it can be a source of off-season inspiration until next Fall.

PS I honestly wonder what they put in the water in Colorado Springs. Air Force... well they did it again, and they seem to pull upsets with alarming frequency.

Hey! I just saw Marv Person on TV. I was wondering what ever happened to him after Tech asked him to step down and make room for Joe.

Nice the Misfits and band, get props during the BU-UM game
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2017-18 The Joe Shawhan Era Continues - Getting Better Everyday

I don't know who I despise more BU or the Skunks. Either way I feel dirty thinking about it.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2017-18 The Joe Shawhan Era Continues - Getting Better Everyday

So the non-conference next year is 2 with Clarkson, GLI, first vs michigan (I will be there for sure), then LSSU/MSU, and on the road at Wisconsin.
Any others I am missing.
