Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

So while running my usual "I'm bored, let's search Google for 'Michigan Tech jersey'" I was brought to the image below. It appears to have been drawn by Robert Ullman at the request of "Dustin" in Feb 2013. How did this stay hidden on the Internet for so long? It's been a while since Tech looked that good. As a gentleman, I would have preferred a blonde in the throwback, but that's just personal preference.

Of course my next Google request was to find out who that was supposed to be in the image. I had a pretty good idea based on #31 and a Reebok stick, but I had to check "on the line" to confirm. The search generated the following video produced by Nick Laurila (Sept 2012). Pretty direct and to the point, I had my answer.

Still wondering about the reason for the art work being created unless PC wanted something for his room. Nice job by the artist despite the "max foul" for using the banished logo.

I sadly cannot claim any responsibility.

Does anyone else think that would work nicely on a Husky Hockey themed KBC beer can?

It's getting closer!

It was tweeted by Brandon Veale sports editor of the Mining Gazette that the bridge will have an overnight closure on 1/17 so the hockey game will be at 5:07ET that day.

Also there's, a season welcome video up on the hockey page:

That "Kero in alone" goal against Bemidji was a thing of beauty. Defenseman and goalie both left their jocks in the rafters.
 
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

Hmmm.

Interesting selection in Damon Whitten's Laker Nation video showing a goal against Tech. Coincidence, I think not.

Less than a month to drop it for real.

I think the only purpose of the video was to taunt me with four captain's jerseys. But seriously, the one thing I took away from that video was how many times Tech put the puck in the net moving it across the ice in front of the net. A lot of times that puck doesn't get through (D-man stick/skate, random body in the crease), but if it does, most college goalies have no chance to make that stop (as was shown by a lot of pucks shot into wide open nets). That final pass turns a shot into a quality scoring chance. If you can get a group of forwards who see the ice in that manner rather than just thinking "shoot it at the goalie" every time they get in close, the score sheet is going to fill up quickly.

Just picked up 3 tickets for LSSU on 10/4 and 10/5. They must have a few to sell - mine are at center ice, 8 rows up, on the aisle. LSSU box office: (906) 635-2602.
 
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

See y'all for the tUMD series, btw. There just might be a few other familiar faces there that weekend. I'm not going to name any names, but some serious tArrogance might be around the Houghton area.
 
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

huskyfan wishes the huskyfans would attend the tUMD games. huskyfan would like to watch tMel kick tUMDs butts. however, huskyfans most likely will have left for warmer climates by then. huskyfan wonders if Brent will need tickets?
 
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

No UMD for us. That is the weekend after we get back from our honeymoon and it won't work from a taking vacation standpoint and it probably will be nice to be home for a weekend by that point. (We'll be away the 4 weekends previous)

tShirtlessGuy got a suite for that weekend. tBrenthoven is excited, as that will be tBrenthoven's only road trip for QUITE a while, because of tRubeV.2 and such.

T-25...
It's a good feeling to be looking forward to the start of the season. It is much more enjoyable to wonder if the team can get home ice for the playoffs or maybe even win a league title, rather than wondering if the team will get to double digit wins. October can not get here quick enough for me.

Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

So I'm not a huge fan of the NCHC, but this conference map they threw together... What is up with that blobby rendition of the UP? Did Michigan annex some land since last year? I realize that North Dakota and Colorado are a couple rectangles, and Nebraska isn't much tougher, but is that really the best they could do? Maybe we should draw Colorado as an oval when we get ASU in the conference...

It could be that they are using the actual borders in the lake... but that only explains the west of the Keweenaw, not the east side...
 
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

Not the first time the UP has been incorrectly drawn or omitted altogether on a map.

Clearly we need hockey to start if our fans are this bored.

Agree - If we are trying to prepare players for the NHL and keep them out of major junior, I am in favor of a 50+ game NCAA season which starts in September and runs until just after the College World Series. I prefer an off-season more like that of NASCAR (three months max) - just long enough to juggle drivers, sponsors, review all of the pit lane driver fight videos on YouTube, predict how many races Danica Patrick will win this year, analyze why fans still hate Kyle Bush, confirm Little E as the most popular male driver and then start the next season. Too long of an off season leads to stupid, pointless off-topic posts in fan forums.
