  • Tech just doesn't have the skill it seems to get the puck, out from along the boards and in the corners, to the front of the net.
    I disagree. It is will, drive, ice awareness and determination. Skill doesn't necessarily enter the equation into any of that. Personal will power, work ethic, and strength however have everything to do with it.

    The lack of use of the points and the slot area against State was more of the issue. Tech could have had 45 grade-A shot on goal opportunities as opposed to 8 grade-A opps on 45 shots.

      I'm looking at the bright side here... a tech team with enough puck possession to get 45 in a game is a good thing! That itself is something I'm glad to see.

        Once again:

        I'd happily take 2-36-0 if the two wins came at GLI.

          Shoot, so close to tieing it up too. Of course we'd need some luck to beat BC but we didn't get it with that no goal.


          Mel's postgame thoughts:
          We got better as game went on
          Took early penalty, and it put us on our heals
          Proud of a our hockey team,
          Tough to have the call go against us,
          Went toe to toe with #3 ranked hockey team
          Didn't get a lot of puck luck, carried some play in the 3rd
          Sure Josh would like to have the 2nd goal back
          Feel bad for the guys, they put in a gutsy effort, no clear shot of no goal

            Le sigh, yet another GLI fail. 32 years of them and counting...

            They need a crying smilie here, now is the perfect time to use it.

                I feel our winning season slipping away. I sure hope the recruiting is going well. Would someone who was at the games tell us what the mood was like at the arena?

                  The whole place was rooting for Tech and came undone with the tying goal. The refs were thoroughly boo'd. Air of disappointment from there out..

                        Funny you should ask. Sounds like Jamie is still pretty bitter about getting fired.

                            a lot of positive tonight. they played a lot better without the puck and jordan baker backchecked hard enough to catch his man just as he got the puck 20 ft in front of our net and stopped hm from shooting. Yahoo!

                            also the defense, which has been giving up a lot of odd man rushes did not give up a single one to a very good team. Our new line combinations are doing better. The Johnstone's played better and so did chad and blake. I liked rix also. So I think they learned a lot and continue to get better and though they didn't win tonight they will win some games against tough competition the second half. It was tough to lose but they are better than they were for sure.

                              Good to hear. Even Mel was careful not to promise miracles this year, however much we want to see them. He has a lot of losing to go before he sees his first NCAA team in Houghton, which makes sense - take a look at Blais' experience in Omaha for something comparable.

                                Speaking of Blais... There is a massive fail right now.. Not even making the medal round...
