    I disagree that the teams at the top are necessarily better then Tech and the constant acceptance of this. Until I see some attempt to try something different when it ain't working (offense and power play) I won't be satisfied. Winning every game should be the goal, not just competing with "better teams"

      I don't think winning every game is a realistic goal. I do think though the metrics are important overall. the PP has to get better, and that would have made a difference last night. Also, we are good enough such that, with a bounce here or there we can beat anybody. I'm anxious to get Steman and Reinke back in the line up. I think with everyone healthy we would be a factor nationally. Even if we get in somehow and play the number 1 team, that team might be Duluth. We can beat them.

        If the coaching staff can say they did everything possible to win last night; I accept the results. I don't believe they can say that.
        Shoot me I guess for expecting more!

          What else do you believe the coaches should have done? Game was closer than the score, Beef let one in he probably should have had. PP is still broken, need more traffic at the net. I see very few ugly goals and we need more of those. Still trust in tMel

            Everyone agrees the power play is broken; try something different (that makes statistical sense!). They tried Gould on the blue line??? Tech's blue liners are some of leading scorers why mess with that. Shuffle the 3 forwards up and try it for more than 1 shift.
            Don't get me wrong, Pearson is 100 times better than anything Techs seen since MacInnes but there is room for improvement.
            Also, unless I missed it I saw no attempt to pull Redmond.Maybe the opportunity didn't present itself.

              Not sure why tMel didn't pull Redmond, thought there was time but unless you are there you can't tell on TV

                  I bothered me that they didn't pull Redmond and try to get back into it at the end.
                  I thought maybe Dirk would ask Mel about that after the game.
                  I think sometimes Dirk is afraid to ask the tough questions.

                    Dirk is definitely afraid to ask Mel certain questions.

                      Hmmm ... maybe ... but he's a broadcaster, not a Senate Select Committee.

                          True ... maybe it's a good question to send to Mel during his show on Monday.

                            Mel will never give Dirk a straight up honest answer. Mel should be a politician.

                              I would have to disagree. During Mel's show I think he gives honest answers.
                              I just think Dirk is afraid to ask tough questions after a tough loss.

                                You're looking for the problem in the wrong place. It isn't Mel, or Dirk.

                                All coaches give guarded, "political" answers on a regular basis.
