    Re: Northern Michigan University Wildcats 2016-17 Season Thread: Gotta Get Up And Try

    I was going to try and something to snark about for last night's game, but looking over the stat sheet... I didn't really find anything. I thought about the lack of SOG, but we held MTU to just six in the second.

    Room for improvement? Sure. But nothing I would get riled up about in years past.

    If the PP doesn't get rolling again by next week then there will be some contention as it has now dipped to just 10%. Twenty percent is the ballpark for a team to threaten for the NCAA's. Thanks


    I'd really like to watch this team continue to play hockey past St. Patrick's Day.

      Two big positives to take away from tonight's loss:

      1) The full building was loud on TV (WCHA.tv). Was nice to see and hear.

      2) MTU couldn't score a 5x5 goal on NMU. In fact, MTU only scored one 5x5 goal the entire weekend.

          Not a very good weekend of hockey by NMU vs MTU.... NMU almost laid a "Double Goose-Egg" again this weekend like they did against Bemidji State earlier in the season at The Berry.... NMU has scored 17 goals and has given up 25 so far in 8 games.... 3800 attendance on Friday in Houghton and 4100 on Saturday in Marquette.... Both games were on local TV all across Upper Michigan.... NMU (2-5-1) @ Wisconsin (4-2-0) this weekend....

              NMU Hockey looks to rekindle offense at Wisconsin this weekend

              November 2nd, 2016

              MARQUETTE - The biggest struggle for the 2016-17 Northern Michigan hockey team (2-5-1) so far has been scoring goals. Right now, the team just hasn't been very consistent, but having a guy like Dominik Shine back in the lineup certainly helps.

              One team the Wildcats did have success against offensively is the Wisconsin Badgers. Northern scored 8 goals in the two games they played against the Badgers (4-2-0) earlier in the season in Green Bay and this weekend, they meet again in Madison.

              Coach Walt Kyle thinks the key for his team is getting off to a fast start.

              "You have to generate offense from the minute the puck drops and if you can do something early and get one or two behind you then I think we have shown more of an ability to then throw some pucks in," said Kyle.

              "We look at every game as if you're going out there to score goals. You gotta get more goals than the other team to win, right, so it's a big factor when coming into those games this weekend since we did score a few goals against them the first time we played them," added senior defenseman Brock Maschmeyer.

              The puck drops in Madison Friday at 8 P.M. Eastern.

                    We scored some goals. Shine got on the board too.

                        Great game by NMU last nite.... Finally some offense to talk about.... Dominik Shine with (2) goals was good to see.... Hopefully he'll continue to score for NMU and help get their offense going....

                          Time for the old Hockey proverb again - "You can't win a Hockey game if you don't score a Goal" after NMU gets shut out last nite by Wisconsin in Madison (2-0).... That's (4) "Goose Egg" shutouts that NMU has put up so far this season in the (10) games that they've played!!!!!!!!!!

                              A weekend sweep of Bowling Green at The Berry this weekend will be a great way to spark the NMU hockey team.... This year's team seems to be a "Jekyll & Hyde" outfit just like last weekend down in Madison.... A great (5-2) win on Friday nite and then another (2-0) "Goose Egg" shutout loss on Saturday nite.... NMU needs to bring a broom to the rink and start getting some sweeps in order to get this season turned around otherwise it will be another long cold winter on the shore of Lake Superior in Marquette.... Being out of contention early in the season isn't much fun as a fan and I'm sure the NMU players don't like it either....
