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

It will be stronger competition but of the 4 games I've seen live this year, last night was by far the best effort. They had the energy going after loose pucks, controlled it when they had it and I was very happy with their zone entries. When you do all the "little things" you will get the disparity in SOG and hopefully on the scoreboard as well. Also happy that they didn't get drawn into gooning it up in the 3rd. They stood up to UAF's crap but didn't escalate it. Bring on the Beavers!

I like this team!

Nice weekend. Love those points and looking at the standings and seeing us on top. Keep it up!!
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2018-19: Who Cares What They Name It, We Want It

Gould was back and then some!!

Joe challenged him and the challenge was answered!

On another note- this freshmen class is good. I don't remember seeing a class this poised at this point in their first year. Halonen is a winner. If we were the only school interested in him I think we need to pay this coach more money.

I shudder to think where we'd be without some of these frosh and the transfer Jurusik.

did he say that about Halonen?maybe when they got him to commit but he was pretty **** talented in Hs so doubt he never had interest from others.

I'm thinking local relatives helped the recruiting process.

I seriously doubt Tech was the only school showing interest

A cousin playing for Tech the past four years (L') and another couple (twins) coming in over the next couple of years probably helped a little bit too ;-) ... glad we got him he'll be wearing a "C" by the end of his career here.

I shudder to think where we would be with Muson...

Someone was actually trying to bid on Munson's Copper Country Strong jersey over the weekend. They were asking what was the jersey number of the 4th goalie in the team photo because you needed to include the jersey number with your bid (since the NCAA won't allow you to buy something based on a player's name :rolleyes:). I see he is now listed on the Nottingham roster overseas. I think they should get him a new profile photo...

In other jersey news, I ended up winning two of the CCS jerseys on Friday. So... whoever is ready to part with one of those old, outdated, useless "Camo Husky" jerseys** in exchange for one of the fabulous, exciting, new Copper Country Strong jerseys, drop me a line and let's make this happen! A guy can hope, right?
:D
** Must be a game jersey. Sorry, not interested in the blanks they sold on campus after the game.

I'm thinking of remarks Joe made like "Oh yeah we got this guy from Delano Minnesota too. He is a tough kid." It just gave me the impression he was a project and kind of added on for depth or something. Joe does have a way of understating things though. Just glad he's at Tech because he's already a stud. Very polite too. Perfect fit for Tech.

you must have missed the JSHs over the summer where Joe repeatedly compared Halonen to Blake Pietila. The Blake Pietila that used to play here, not the Blake Pietila who will be playing for us next season...

And on that note both Blake Pietila and Jake Crespi have signed their NLIs.

I remember that comparison being made. I also remember not believing it at the time. So as you age and your memory begins to fail these are the little surprises in life that you can enjoy!

I was looking at a site I've never seen before. Neutralzone.net They have rankings of college recruiting classes. It appears they have this current crop at an NCAA rank of #13. They have us at #16, 29, and 30 for the next 3 classes. Next year they have us with 12 commits which is twice what THG has listed and doesn't make sense with the size of the current class. Whatever.

Glad Crespi is signed I know he was committed to a few different places already.

Have never seen the Nutralzone.net site before. I'll have to take a look. If they rank this year's class at 13th and next year's at 16th then I would say recruiting is going very well indeed. I think the next couple classes aren't finished yet, so still room for improvement.

Ok, I have to revise that. I know the site, I'm not going to pay to see it..

It was interesting to see the bigger programs stockpiling recruits. The further out you look the more you see the usual suspects at the top with a bunch of commits. As things shake out the smaller schools start moving up. Not surprising.

If you right click and view page source you can see the tables. You don't get the individual names of the recruits but it gives you an idea of who is doing well on the trail I suppose.

Yep, the usual suspects stockpiling players.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2018-19: Who Cares What They Name It, We Want It

So now that I'm finally wrapping up the 2018 jersey order, its time to start making a push for 2019. I already have enough interest to order the cream, and hof black jerseys again and I'm also very close with being comfortable with ordering the golds and circle black jersey. If you want any of these colors and haven't submitted a form on the THG site, now is the time!

Halonen has an absolute rocket of a shot! I rewatched his first goal as a husky about five times. It is a one timer shot out of a cannon..can't wait to watch this guys career!

Even as someone who normally wouldn't look twice at a jersey that wasn't worn in a game, I'm nothing less than thrilled that I took the plunge and ordered one. NOT having access to a nice authentic jersey like this when I was at Tech is what got me started down the path of collecting game worn jerseys. Twenty-three years later, I finally got the on-ice jersey I was seeking back in 1995.... Johnson's jersey. It was worth the wait!
