Michigan Tech 2018-19: Who Cares What They Name It, We Want It

Re: Michigan Tech 2018-19: Who Cares What They Name It, We Want It

I had something funny happen yesterday. I get Fastline, it''s a farming equipment sales magazine. The headline was, " New techniques in Manure Spreading"

I laughed and laughed.

Of the coaches I’ve worked with, if they’re saying it in public, it’s already been said much more definitively in the room. It’s very rare that a coach would say anything in the media that is a surprise in the room.

So from this comment, I'll conclude that what Joe says on the air doesn't affect the culture in the room.

I think the boys are smart enough not to be influenced by the Joe Show.

Next topic please. Maybe how we can spread manure more efficiently?

Chances are if you’re hearing it said publicly, the player in question has already heard worse directly.

I don't disagree with this but I do think this is something that could play badly with potential recruits and be used against them by other coaches...much like Marv's impending departure.

That's why Esposito left Tech, he felt MacInnes wasn't giving him enough playing time.

?

Tony Esposito played three seasons from 1964-67. The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play hockey until after he was gone, so he left because he used up all his eligibility.

I'm glad coach still hangs around this message board so he can address these issues first hand.

I do know that what is said in public forums, at times doesn’t match what is down below. I know that sometimes what a coach says publicly is done for a reason. And there have been cases where I have winced at what a coach has had to say about his team. Of the coaches I’ve worked with, if they’re saying it in public, it’s already been said much more definitively in the room. It’s very rare that a coach would say anything in the media that is a surprise in the room.

Did you listen to the JSH and how it was used, in context? He started off the show by giving himself an F grade and the team a D. Those are very stinging grades, arguably, more stinging than some anecdote about a conversation that sums up the reason the coach and team were graded like they were.

I watched a good amount of playoff hockey this weekend. The winning teams played a team oriented, hard ice, strong puck possession, low turnover game, and won 50/50 battles. (Hmmm... Where have I heard that winning before?) Anytime a player got cute, the puck was turned over or the goalie was sitting there set up for the shot. Most goals had a screened goalie or off a rebound. I only saw one blue line blast beat an unscreened goalie.

Not to mention that although Esposito was a very good college goalie, he wasn't the Best on the team.
