After they ran Teslak and re-injured him, and Stewart took that hilariously pathetic swan dive. ;)

Then the following night in Houghton, trotted out that dusty old Ramada Trophy that wasn't even up for grabs and celebrated with it like they won a national championship. :rolleyes:

There was a sure fire way to prevent that from happening.
 
Tech really needs to focus and get these wins, or else it's going to be difficult to have much confidence traveling to Yost. Tech will try to use their speed to frustrate NMU and draw penalties, so we need to get that powerplay going. Officiating should at least be more even, as that was a total hack job by that HEA crew on Sunday at Notre Dame.
Only at Tech do they lose 7-3 and blame the refs.

No TV6 broadcast for this weekends games according to ESPN Radio in Marquette.

When the game is 2-2 after taking a questionable 5-min major, then you get called for another questionable 5-min major and allow 2 goals on it, at which point you're playing with 13 forwards...yeah I think I can blame the refs to a point. They completely dictated that game and it was impossible to know what was and was not a penalty.

Wow. Way to drum up interest, then fail.

At least the effort was there on TV6's part. More than can be said about the President and Board of Control of NMU.

If you had actually been at or watched the game, you may have something of substance to add to the discussion. Since it's a fact that you weren't there and didn't see it, I'm just going to ignore that obvious troll.

Toss in a few phantom penalties like the interference on Pietila and the 2 full minutes of 5-3 in which one of the guys on PK has his stick slashed hard enough to break it in front of the net with no call on it... Yeah, I'm going to complain. The first 10 minutes before the Vallis call were mostly Tech. ND was back on their heels. Those refs were awful and I'm not typically one to harp on the refs. (I've been on the other side as a soccer ref for over ten years)

If Tech plays like the first 10 minutes of that game before the penalty parade... they're going to do well this year. I'm looking forward to WCHA games and hopefully better reffing than that BS.

And then got feisty and knocked off Michigan State in 3 games and OT to make it to the Joe while Tech floundered in a stacked WCHA and lost a heartbreaker first round series to North Dakota...

...let's just pretend that whole season never happened.

I've just never heard a 7-3 loss blamed on the refs. There's always a first I guess.
 
Re: Round 1 of nWCHA Tech vs Northern

Per the WLUC TV6 Facebook page:

Just a heads up that TV6 will not be carrying the home and home NMU/Tech hockey series this weekend. Here's our official press release on the matter:

WLUC is continuing to work with Northern Michigan University and Michigan Tech to provide College Hockey to viewers in the U.P. Hopes were high in October that WLUC would be able to televise the upcoming home and home series between Northern and Michigan Tech, however, according to Forrest Karr, Director of Athletics at NMU, “The University needs more time to work through issues related to broadband production and corporate sponsorship agreements”.

Once those issues are resolved, WLUC plans to work closely with NMU and MTU to schedule and televise upcoming games for the foreseeable future. WLUC President and CEO, Rob Jamros, commented, “We appreciate the complicated nature of this issue, and the efforts of the Northern Michigan University and Michigan Tech administrations to work through them. We also look forward to the opportunity to provide excellent local programming, like college hockey, to our viewers.” Kim Parker-WLUC Marketing Director
 
So it's NMU's fault...got it!

What's stopping the Saturday game from being aired?


I do agree though that it does sound like it's NMU's fault. It's really a shame that those in control of the University continue to harm the growth of the school, while claiming to help.

Would it or could it have anything to do with the WCHAs agreement with America One? As is quoted:

according to Forrest Karr, Director of Athletics at NMU, “The University needs more time to work through issues related to broadband production and corporate sponsorship agreements”.

I have no idea, just wondering.
