  • Michigan Tech '11-'12 Season Thread I: Hope Springs Eternal

    Some questions to be answered over the next six months:

    Who skates with whom?

    Will they win 10 games? 15 games?

    Do the new staff and Brett Olson lead this team to a first round upset and a Final Five berth?

    Will the 2011-2012 Huskies be the biggest surprise of the year?


    Lock and load, let's roll.

    One thing is for sure. The first 5 games of a season can be a terrible indication of the rest of the year.

    I'm going to be interested in the dynamic of the coach and players Saturday and how the new uptempo strategy works given our recent performances defensively.

      I don't think you will see just an up tempo game. I think you will see the lock at times and maybe the torpedo as well.

        Pearson has said that it will take a couple years and a couple more recruiting classes to get his style completely in place, so I would expect to see a mixture as well. One step at a time, you know.

              I would love to see this too!

                Waited til today to try to make a reservation for a room for the Oct 7th and 8th AIC games. And nothing is available under 2 hours away.

                  Yeah, that would be Homecoming for Tech, and it's also Family Weekend IIRC.

                    Note to Techies: I'm probably headed to the Springs for the Tech series in March. I would love it if some others happened to be there.

                      Anyone make it to meet the coaches? The DMG beat writer Stephen Anderson posted the following tweets. So far he seems like a good beat writer and very enthusiastic about the job.

                      steander #mtuhky "Meet the Coaches" event went really well. Lots of people and quite a few questions for coaches and freshmen players.

                      steander Only coach I talked to individually was goalie coach Steve Shields. Goalie depth chart up to Mel. Tromp situation still in the air. #mtuhky

                      steander Pearson talked about his respect for MacInnes, hopes to earn same respect from his players. Emphasized positive coaching approach. #mtuhky

                      steander Pearson very optimistic about future unnamed recruits already; adamant that realignment will not negatively impact recruiting. #mtuhky

                      steander Obvious all coaches love the area, despite remoteness. Muckalt: "I called Mel from Duluth and asked how much farther?!" #mtuhky

                      steander Lots of jokes throughout. Muckalt about scoring on Shields in #NHL, Shields on having no luck fishing, Mel on Shields unshaved face. #mtuhky

                      steander Several freshmen took opportunity to publicly express desire to play a certain position, to the laughter of the coaching staff. #mtuhky

                      steander Pearson speculated that he thinks Notre Dame will end up in #NCHC, though just a personal opinion. #mtuhky

                      steander Pearson emphasized desire for strong non-conf. sched. after realignment. Renewing rivalry with UofM, MSU; maintaining w/ Wisc./UMD. #mtuhky

                      steander Coaching staff will actively pursue students to attend games, including meet-and-greets in res. halls. Expect increased attendance. #mtuhky

                      steander Any ?s about "Meet the Coaches" event? A really nice way to start the season. We're all dying to get to Saturday's exhibition. #mtuhky

                        Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.
