    Regardless of what coach says, the team just needs to get back to the basics. They need to get pucks deep behind their D. If they can just take their game one shift at a time, good things are going to start happening. This is blue collar team and if they make the effort in the dirty areas of the ice they are going to start getting some bounces. Everyone on the team knows their roles so they just need to do their part. Tech needs to use this week to refocus so they can bring their "A" game in Fairbanks and we need to see Tech play a full 60 minute game. Lastly, we just need to get more traffic in front of the net and bang in a few garbage goals. As for the goalies, we need them to be out best penalty killers. We're not giving them a lot of support out there.

      They were loud, very well coordinated and knew their stuff.
      They were an approachable good looking bunch.
      They represented your institution well.
      A group you can be proud of.
      It's a great day to be a Seawolf!
      Was it the same Tech contingent that has made the trip the last two times MTU has had a two week roadie in Alaska?

        Hey, if the team does all of that we'll be all set. I just hope we strap on our hardhats and bring our lunch buckets so we can knock in some of those greasy goals! In the end it just comes down to scoring more goals than our opponent. If we do that we'll get the "W"

          True that - Tech's win percentage is bound to go up if they can outscore the opponent each night. I've seen a lot of wins over the years and that stat is usually a good indicator of who is going to come out on top.
          This guy sums it up pretty well.

              For sure, there does seem to be a mighty strong correlation between outscoring your opponent and winning. I'm a little shocked no one has done a statistical analysis of it yet.... LOL

              The video made my day. Every beer league player out there knows that guy.

                Mostly yes. Not me this time and seeing the pics from the group is KILLING me. lol
                MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

                  I disagree. Coach Shawhan has said time and time again that "we don't give the other teams much but when we do it ends up in the back of our net"
                  I've watched every single game in person or online and from my viewpoint Tech has a goaltending problem.
                  This may also play on the guys confidence! The thought of having to score 4 goals every night to win has got to be a lot of pressure. That's been the case all but 4 games I think.

                    And the games we hold them to less than 3 goals we tie, except for the NMU game.

                      I believe Techs best goaltender is not a Coach Shawhan recruit and Coach may be struggling to put his guys on the shelf for a bit and give Kero a legitimate shot. Based on the 2 games I watched Kero play the first was good but a little shaky. The second was excellent. He is definitely not as flashy as Munson but Tech needs solid right now.
                      Hope he gets healthy and gets a legit shot soon.

                        i think you’re right but ya not about who recruited him. It’s about an injury right now.

                          May be at this moment but previously I believe it may have played in to decisions

                            I think he's saying that Shawhan recruited KEro.

                              Kero committed mid 2013-14 season while Shawhan was still with Northern so I'm not sure how that is possible. I'm pretty sure Mukalt helped him get to Merritt and I think may have been most instrumental in bringing him in

                                Khaira just scored for the Oilers against the Wings.
                                Seems he has made a development leap this year.

                                I think the fanbase is showing their passion, but need to relax and remember to enjoy the season. We have a good group of guys.
                                I think we will see a good weekend ahead for the Huskies.
