Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

tJohnson's Jerseys nominates BGSU for booting MTU from the inaugural nWCHA playoffs and for all their discussion to secede from the nWCHA and reform the CCHA.

Ryan J

if you're looking for a team that will be the source of endless achy-breaky heart, we're your guys.
but the secede talk is nonsense. we merely want to bring Miami State and Western over from the dark side, and destroy the evil NCHC empire.

A noble cause - there is still good in them, I feel it.
I'm much more willing to accept a former CCHA into the nWCHA than readmit a former oWCHA team.

I'd love to see Duluth come back.

We can't have our noses too high fellas... Bit hypocritical of us from Houghton.

Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

Bemidji and Mankato to the NCHC - puts all the MN teams except UMTC back together with UND in an easy busing situation, and the CO schools become your only flights.

Western and Miami to the WCHA - Sure, there's the double Alaska trip once every four years, but they still get to go back to something of a bus league, with MAC rival BG, each other, Ferris, and da Yoop all obvious bus trips (and UAH probably a bus trip for at least Miami).

I consider this basically a done deal, and give it about 3-5 years. By then, the Wings new barn will be open, and the league has its new over-sized, centralized tourney site for Robertson to pursue his delusions of grandeur. Move the league offices back to Farmington Hills, and boom, done.

So did you guys watch Fargo (TV Series, not movie) and just root for EVERYONE to die?

No comment.

Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

if Western and Miami hadn't gone along with this new league nonsense there probably wouldn't be a new league. no way we let them back in. Air Force and Army for me.

Like the map but the resolution is poor to blow it up for reading.

You need to blow it up twice to get the full-size version. Find the magnifying glass link again in the lower right.

Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

I would have expected Cope to come to Tech this year, but we've had a surge in new recruit talent and the competition has been pretty stiff. Cope would probably have been coming to college this season if he had committed to most other WCHA programs. Normally, a guy like Cope would be looking to move back to the BC or to the USHL after a strong OJ season, but these leagues have quotas for how many older players they can roster. Could be that the NAHL was the best league he good get a slot in due to his age. If he plays at the Soo, Mel & Co. can more easily monitor his progress.

Cope might not be on campus this season, but as of this weekend he IS in the collection and I'll be ready to cheer him on when he arrives.

Even though Air Force started this whole mess?

Re: Michigan Tech Offseason 2014: Nothing To Say

It's one thing to say you are an up and coming program, but you have to start winning more than you lose at some point or you are not up and coming any more.

And shirtless, for us to win the comparison vs michigan we have to win 2 of the three games, correct?

If I was to pick a team to dislike, it would be Ferris. I think they indulge in a lot of grabbing, holding, slashing, etc that is less than wonderful. Although I hate t e BG system, I kind of like coach Bergeron.
