I hope they find a great coach. Tech needs NMU to return to national prominence. Our ability to consistently get into the NCAA depends on the WCHA having more top teams. I still want to beat them every game.

Nice win. Disappointed with attendance. A little over 2k at the game. No students and Calumet playing for a state championship tomorrow downstate are huge factors with the low numbers.

I realize it is spring break, but do the Tech students get free admission to the playoff games?

Yes and no. They don't get the normal student ticket, but some corporation donations paid for them if they signed up for it.

That was a fun game to watch, looking forward to tonight.
Something tells me Heino and Luch are going to join in the fun tonight.
Whole team has raised their game for the playoffs, Go Tech.

There is a good update on this story. Anyone who read the first account should re-read the link. Summary; Ex wife gave power of attorney while refinancing a home improvement loan. During subsequent divorce, ex wife tried to duck the loan. Divorce Judge agreed with Walt. Ex-wife still does not like outcome and talks sheriff into making an arrest, in spite of prior legal reviews....

As usual the truth is somewhere in-between.

Well they both could be lying about the other committing criminal acts.

100% of the pucks that go wide of the net will not result in a goal. Need to get it on net and score some dirty goals tomorrow night.
Dirk was like a broken record tonight with "wide of the net" or "just missed the net".

We lost a ton of face-offs too. I was surprised we stayed as close as we did. Our offensive forecheck lacked urgency and we let them out of their zone too easy, and our pp was similarly not as urgent, nor did we handle their pressuring the puck like they did well at all. I was really hoping we did not have to play another game tomorrow. I question if our guys will be up for it or will win it. MSU is flying high. they will be pushing.
There was just not the jump or the sense of urgency tonight. We did not adjust well to how mankato had changed their game, and we were never a threat to score a goal. I think we had 1 great grade A, and Heinonen shot it right into the goalies stomach.

The ex-wife really has an axe to grind and has been ever since the divorce happened. Remember when Walt was suspended by the university? An "anonymous" phone call was made by a female to the university regarding Walt and the assistant AD. Also, Walt has full custody of their kids.

27 shots on goal on Friday vs 15 shots tonight, hence the score...
Looked like Mankato did a good job at slowing Tech's traffic to the net. Not much in the line of tips, redirects or rebounds. Tech had very few second chance opportunities.
Re: MICHIGAN TECH HUSKIES...2016-17 season. 96th season of hockey (continued, part 2)
Yea, I can't be sure but I'd have to assume that was by far our lowest shot total this season.
I honestly have no clue what to expect tomorrow night, this team is so bipolar that we easily could have last night's team show up or tonight's team, really a crapshoot.

It will be very interesting who plays. Mankato seems to have a lot of real big guys. They used those guys real well tonight and slowed the game down. the strength of our team is speed and puck control. we did not do that, but in a game three in three nights, we might be too tired to do it effectively tomorrow. So that might play into mankato's hands in that they do not seek to outskate people. So some fresh legs is more important to us than to them.
Mankato can be a bit Jekyll & Hyde as well, especially in goal.

There is really only the option to sub one guy as GerrIe is the only player that did not play so I don't think that will make a huge difference. It is going to come down to coaching. Coach Hastings came up with a plan that shut Tech down and the Tech coaching staff wasn't able to make the adjustments needed to counter that effort. Let's see if they can figure it out by tomorrow. Everyone always wants to lay it on the players and their "will" to win, or their sense of "urgency" but they are required to play within the systems that the coaches set and tonight the Tech systems failed.I don't buy the fact that Tech played with less urgency. They were out coached by a coach who figured out how to counter Techs success of Friday. Here's hoping the Tech coaching staff can cone up with their own counter attack.
