Season 95, Vol 2: Michigan Tech '15-'16

Re: Season 95, Vol 2: Michigan Tech '15-'16

Update on referee Butch Mousseaux. He was injured in the warmup when he caught the heel of his skate in the ice and fell hard, hitting the back of his head on the ice. Along with losing a great deal of blood while on the ice surface, they determined they needed to drill at least one hole in his skull to relieve the pressure of a brain bleed. Keep him in your thoughts.

Well it's hard to lose. But i agree with someone else. it's really nice to be a factor again and i'm not concerned about the goaltending next year so much. We have a lot of goals to replace though and I'd like to see us do better in certain phases of the game, ( like blocking shots and face-offs) but overall you have to consider the season a success. I'm sure we will be in the tournament on a regular basis going forward.
I do really dislike Ferris though. If we are going to eat all those penalties for what we did, they should eat some as well.

I really hope Butch recovers well. Scary stuff.

The other four in stripes on the ice were just awful. They didn't know a penalty from their *****hole. Killed the flow, allowed Ferris to clutch, grab, hack, whack and interfere their way through a lucky bounce off Vallis' stick to win. Sickening that's how our boys had to end the season. I feel so bad for them, especially the Seniors.

Team will be strong next year and will have strong motivations from our shortcomings this year. Mel will be back, the team will continue to move in the right direction. Chris Dilks' trolling tweet needs to be shoved up his rear.

WCHA needs to change the officiating methods and styles. This season has been really really bad all the way around the league. It's costing good teams games, including MSU having to share the MacNaughton with us because of the awful changes and swings from one game to another and in our case, within the game. Three penalties called on Tech tonight where the Tech player did absolutely nothing to the Ferris player. That's not Championship or even Semifinal level worthy from the officials that did the late game tonight.

Tough loss and certainly not the finish we wanted, but a great season again this year. The seniors should be very proud of the change they've brought to the program.

Looking forward to next season.

That's terrible, really glad I missed most of it on the feed. I'm willing to bet refs will be wearing helmets during warm-ups next year. Please keep us updated with anything else you hear.

The loss sucks and agree some of the calls poor but you have to play better than the calls.
 
Re: Season 95, Vol 2: Michigan Tech '15-'16

I hadn't see you guys play in person all season until last night, but I do agree with Mel's postgame comment about not being in sync. Ferris didn't give you much time and space, but offensively things just weren't clicking. Passing game in particular looked off. Tech had a fair amount of grade A shots but almost everything went wide of the net or right directly at Smith. Jamie Phillips played great; he had to make a lot more tough saves than Smith. I know it's a disappointing finish but still all in all you a very good season.

The question will be, who steps in for Phillips and how well does he do?

I had this question in the back of my mind several times this season. However after seeing how much Phillips played last year, neither of those guys were going to sniff the net in Jamie's Sr season unless he just fell on his face at some point.

Based on last season, I perceived Wintjes as the man in waiting to take over as the #1 netminder. But as others have noted, Kero has been taking some road trips as the back-up. I think based on what I saw for warm-ups, Kero was the primary back-up. Then you throw Redmond in the mix as well. Coming in as a 21 year old frosh, you know he will at least get the start against any Bi6 team we face just to rub it in. They love to see those older frosh on the ice...

As for Chris Dilks...If I had a dollar for every tweet he posts, I could retire 10 years early. He talks just so he can say something. It is 99% stuff the rest of the world already knows and the other 1% is trolling for clicks.

they played tight like they needed to not lose instead of just playing and letting their skill lead to a win.

I didn't get to go. I was at the E R in Phoenix with a family member. I do want to say also that I fervently hope Butch Mousseau is ok. Nothing is more important really than him getting well.
as far as Tech. We struggled with the UAA series because of the small amount of time they gave us with the puck, and sounds like Ferris did the same thing.

Oh I don't know. I found it to be hysterical.

I agree with you, and mostly this year Tech has done exactly that. Last night, they didn't. Were not crisp at all. Can't have your B-game and expect to get to a Conference Final, especially when Ferris executed their plan to perfection.

Ice may have had something to do with it to slow things down and make Tech more reactive with all the crazy bouncing pucks, but Ferris played their game well. I disagree with the current FSU/BSU style being good for the sport, and style that the conference wants to promote; which by their inaction on ice towards the mugging, the officials are in a sense promoting it.

By far the most heinous missed call was Anselmini dislodging the net deliberately when Lucchini had an open look to score. Absolutely obscene that it wasn't at minimum a delay of game call, or more appropriately a penalty shot. Just the kind of chicken sh** play you'd expect from the Ferris that everyone has always known and despised.
