WCHA Season Thread 2017-18: In Which We Try For Two Bids

Re: WCHA Season Thread 2017-18: In Which We Try For Two Bids

There's something special about Marquette. A lot of the fans seem angry and unable to have fun. One dude flipped off the Tech pep band before the game started, then he started fighting with his girlfriend. He was fun to watch during media timeouts.

I thought NMU was the better team but packy kept it out so a great result I never expected. I don’t care about nmu fans I’d be unhappy also
Cornell will be a huge challenge as will Providence
I thought the year as a whole was good with the exception of all the non con losses early on
Good luck to Mankato next week
 
Re: WCHA Season Thread 2017-18: In Which We Try For Two Bids

I have to disagree the better team with the experience of big games won last night. NMU gained some experience for the future. Tech played positionally sound defense and used their speed to stretch the attack. They won the boards and were winning so many of the battles, my blood pressure returned to normal even when Rockwood or Loggins had the puck.

Cry me a river of tears Husky fans. Get off your high horse. Had Tech hosted this game, they would have done everything in their power to control the flow of NMU fans through the turnstiles as well. Probably the biggest reason NMU had to control the amount of fans coming from Houghton is one single fact, "Tech Women are Husky" and our seats are too **** small! Go Cats Go!!!

How'd that work out for you? Loser.

Don't forget to tune into the NCAA selection show at noon to find out where NMU WON'T be playing next week.

To be fair to the guy his welfare check probably got lost in the mail and his meth lab got busted last week.. so, totally understandable... :0

Tech - northern is a great rivalry. One of the best in college hockey. Maybe one of the best in all of college sports. Too bad it only takes a few jerks (and there can be jerks on both sides) to put it in a bad light..

It was a great game. It went our way. Who knows next time it might go northern's. I'm sure next season they will be looking for revenge much like BG was this year. It will make for some pretty good intense hockey.

For Mqt being Hockeyville there sure were a lot of empty seats towards the end of the game. NMU had a great season, their best in years and Coach of the Year honors. Yet, in their last game of the season the "fans" don't stick around to give their team an ovation for a great year?? Hockeyville my a**...

That was quite the choice for the 2nd-intermission interview: Bridget Kyle discussing the fine operations job that NMU did getting ready to host Saturday's games. She almost sounded happy that they had tickets handled by noon on Monday.

Tech gets Notre Dame in Bridgeport, CT

Mankato gets Duluth in Sioux Falls, SD

What "all" early non-conference losses are you referring to? We lost a one goal game to Wisconsin game 1 and beat two ranked teams in the ice breaker. All in all, non-conference would have been good if they didn't drop 2of3 to ASU in the second half of the season.

I found our performance against Ferris both times to be frustrating. I never felt we couldn't have a shot to beat anybody, granted I wouldn't expect to win two road series in the state of Minnesota. Great season overall that far exceeded my expectations.

Go Huskies! Go Mavs!

I'm not referring to MTU here sir, But the league as a whole. That's why it's in the WCHA thread.

My congrats to Tech as well. You played with the same kind of gritty determination that defeated the Mavs last weekend. I'm sure that will give Notre Dame all kinds of trouble.

Hopefully we'll see one another in St. Paul in 3 weeks....
 
Re: WCHA Season Thread 2017-18: In Which We Try For Two Bids

Could someone explain to me what will happen to the S.F. regional tickets that were bought up by North Dakota fans? How does one access those now unwanted tickets?

Looks like NMU won't have to worry about trying to figure out how to sell tickets online for a while. They have all summer to study up on it.

Wow! What an impressive effort by Tech. They actually outplayed ND from the mid point on and just couldn't get the bounce they needed to go their way(as a BG fan we know all about that).

I must say I'm impressed with Tech's goaltending improvement. They gave up bad goals to BG in the GLI Final and then got blitzed the Friday night in BG. However, from that point on, staring with the Saturday night shutout in BG their goaltending has been really good. Kudos to those kids and their coach for turning that situation around and ending their season the way they did.

Hopefully MSU will get the WCHA to the next round........but congrats to Tech on not letting their season slip away like it could have in early February.
