Re: Northern Michigan University Hockey 2017-18: The Grant Potulny Era begins

One point tomorrow should clinch home ice?
 
Re: Northern Michigan University Hockey 2017-18: The Grant Potulny Era begins

With their 4-3 at UAH, the Cats clinch home ice for the first round of the playoffs!
 
Re: Northern Michigan University Hockey 2017-18: The Grant Potulny Era begins

Well, now that we got that out of our system :mad:

Pairwise is now dead... Just win the regular season and tourney!

If you win out I can get you up to number 12, if ASU gets a win vs michigan and a few other things go your way. Highest I can get BG is 15.
 
Re: Northern Michigan University Hockey 2017-18: The Grant Potulny Era begins

Well, we finally have our first "must win" games of the season this weekend...

We need 6 points to keep pressure on MSU-M as we go into the bye. We also just became the biggest UAH fans in the world given their remaining schedule. Hopefully they can steal another one this weekend. I don't think we can count on Ferris doing that next weekend :mad:
 
Re: Northern Michigan University Hockey 2017-18: The Grant Potulny Era begins

Big series for the Cats starting tonight. Hopefully, the community will prove it indeed deserves the Hockeyville USA moniker and packs the Berry tonight. I drove up this morning and will be there to cheer on the Cats.

Fifty-two percent capacity for a team that has held onto first place for three weeks. This is the *exact* team that fans in MQT wanted, and they're still not showing up.

It's going to be embarassing to see the building half full of MTU fans next Friday night because the locals don't give two sh**s. :rolleyes:



What's the newest locals excuse, "Let's see what Grant does next season?" Or is it "The Blue Moon ice cream hasn't been the same since Jilbert's got bought by Dean's, it's all Walt's fault?"

Looking at the seating charts it looks like it may be a little more full tonight. I'm still having great time at every game. Even when they didn't win at home last year I had a great time. People don't know what they're missing.

At the bar after the game, many people would say things like "Oh I heard the team is doing good" but they don't go to the game. They have no idea how good, and all were surprised when I tell them the Cats are in 1st place in the standing and possible NCAA berth. Need some grassroots advertising, seems the word is not getting out. Maybe they should have dropped ticket prices to encourage more people this year, then could have capitalized next year. No one really gave an answer or consistent answer as to why they do not go.

Never got the sense that the Marquette locals really cared much for the university when I was there. I suppose they will take the financial impact, but it's almost like they thought the university was a nuisance. (Okay, we had a few parties that would qualify as a nuisance).
