Re: Michigan Tech Season Thread Part IV: You Guys Give Up, Or Are You Thirsty For More?
Well, take a baseball bat and ***** me up the a55 with it. It'd probably be more pleasurable that watching the WORST performance I have ever seen in my life from a "Division I" hockey team.
This team was not at all prepared to play, and I'm sorry to say that the blame for that can only fall upon the coaching staff. Thus, tonight I did the unthinkable. Something I swore I'd never do in my life.
Yes, I started a "FIRE RUSSELL!" chant. Though it should be noted that we followed it up with a "HIRE BABCOCK!" chant, so at least it only sounded half-serious.
I'm prepared to take a lot of flack for doing that, but at no point in that light skate for the Spartans could anyone say that the Michigan Tech Huskies looked ready to battle. The only Tech goal was an opportune bounce for Dobson, and was the result of just about the only sustained pressure in the MSU zone for the entire "game".
Genoe allowed two fat softies, then Robinsieve never even got the chance to warm up when he immediately gave up a goal that, while definitely not his fault (it was a nice deke after a pass that should not have even been allowed to happen), shattered his confidence right out of the gate. That gave MSU all the energy they needed to just absolutely ******** curbstomp us from there.
I am at a point where I fear that Russell has lost this team and they've quit listening to him altogether. The excuses of injuries and youth only go so far. Once that happens, I'm sorry to say that it is only a matter of time.
