Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

what's with this feed from UAF? It's like watching thru an Aldis lamp.

I hope it's better than the feed from Bowling Green, which was terrible.

Anyone know where Coach Pearson is? Not on the bench.

The UAF play by play guy said Tech get's to do this trip again next year, UAA/UAF over thankgiving week, third straight year. Start planning your trip now!

Coach Shawhan with Dirk:
Redmond great, proud of the guys, 9 shots periods 1, 11 through last 2
That included a couple 5x3s
Shawhan joked it's 1:45ET back home, is anyone listening? can we sing Christmas carols?
So happy for Mel, important we play well for him, he's go this program running, we have stay out of the way, let the guys do what they do, know Mel will sleep better
We have an outstanding D group
Penalties - they're tickey/tack, but it's the game nowadays, need to stay on the right side of the puck, players are learning how to draw the calls too, no issues with tonight's calls
Redmond - great play, great poke check killing the 5x3, great kid that worked hard when he wasn't playing earlier this year, his confidence is growing, receptive to coaching, all of our goalies can play

You can mark this down as understatement of the season. WCHA officiating has become a complete joke. Anyone who so much as bumps another player of their course is heading to the box. Anyone who knocks over player that doesn't have a direct contact with the puck is heading to the box. (Forget finishing your check, that is now "interference" in the WCHA). Regardless of how many power plays Tech received, the officiating was a joke and the one linesman that couldn't even drop the puck was even worse.

We need not fear the WCHA being tagged as a "clutch and grab" league. We'll be known as the special teams league soon enough because 5v5 hockey is no longer played in the WCHA.

Nice to see Tech get a win, but it is aweful hockey to watch with a whistle every 2-3 minutes of game time. Zero flow and if UAF had any kind of power play they would have run away with this game.

Huh? Does anyone know why he was in Houghton and not on the bench?

Definitely does not seem good that Mel is in Houghton, hopefully everything is alright with his health and with his family.

Family emergency of some sort. Details are not known.

It's odd that Dirk didn't even mention that he wasn't there; unless I missed it?

Someone mentioned he left AK directly after UAA series. I thought it was odd that Coach Shawhan did the post game interview last Saturday. I thought at the time maybe Coach Pearson was upset with the game results; didn't seem like his style. Hope nothing serious.

Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

Ugh, the only thing worse than having a tight follow camera op who can't find the puck is a director who insists on cutting to it live again and again. This UAF feed is borderline unwatchable.

Re: MICHIGAN TECH.... 2016-17 season. The 96th season of Hockey.

Really appreciated that 5 minute lapse in the stream so I couldn't see the Baltus goal too, especially since we get no replays in the intermission. Hope you enjoy your smoke break while we're treated to 15 minutes of a static slide.

UAF sucks at video.

Switched crew; last night was good. This is terrible. Worse than UAA last Saturday.

I think they are the same as last night. a few calls were ok, the guy counting shots is doing a terrible job as well. I thought they got us running around right before that goal.
