Once in a while, it's fun to try new things. Keeps it interesting. Quit whining. =PMeanEgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07592015345237835338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306406.post-19032492210926839252007-10-19T00:57:00.000-04:002007-10-19T00:57:00.000-04:00The whole turning around and facing away from the ...The whole turning around and facing away from the opposing introductions seems kind of douchey. I know we do the newspapers with NMU, but that's NMU. At least when we "who cares" them, we're acknowledging they exist and mocking them instead of acting like children. We need to find something and stick with it too instead of changing constantlyBooshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745543793647955307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306406.post-65161409111901832692007-10-17T12:01:00.000-04:002007-10-17T12:01:00.000-04:00Hey thanks for the kind words MEg.

Obviously living away from the midwest makes it difficult to actually travel TO games.<BR/><BR/>There were also great moments such as a game from GF that made it to an ESPNU replay, and the series at Minnesota on FSN, but that's where the goofs had already locked up 1st place if i remember right.<BR/><BR/>Notice I left out the Final Five game, which was also televised. (perhaps I willfully forgot it??)<BR/><BR/>Wish I could have seen the inaugural "Perennial Doormat Classic" at GF. :)<BR/><BR/>It's EARLY EARLY EARLY in the long college hockey season so just don't get *too* discouraged up there, even though we're all a little disappointed at a split with 2 teams from the bottom tier of the mostly powderpuff CCHA, I thought they looked decent and there's a lot of hockey yet to be played.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work Darkness and MeanECaptain Tubularhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619956161013377211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306406.post-81945553526889330242007-10-16T22:27:00.000-04:002007-10-16T22:27:00.000-04:00Goon is losing his mind in his old age.

YEA!

Not me.<BR/><BR/>Btw, since you say you forgot about last season's series in GF, let me remind you what happened. Tech won the first night. Your newspaper guy called it a "fluke" and called the the Huskies the "perennial doormats of the WCHA". Saturday night we won again. Friday night win + Saturday night win = sweep. IN THE MOFOin' REA! For the first time since that building has been in existence! (if I recall correctly) If you need anymore details, I'd be happy to provide them for you.MeanEgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07592015345237835338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306406.post-16656260226089713022007-10-16T21:01:00.000-04:002007-10-16T21:01:00.000-04:00Mean Girl, I have seemed to forget about last seas...Mean Girl, <BR/>I have seemed to forget about last season's series in Grand Forks.Eric J.

GLI, Minnesota @ home, and SCSU @ home were among the worst hockey they played last season.<BR/><BR/>Sunday vs LSSU was a LOT better than Friday vs NMU. However, both games were missing the spunk that Batty brought. I expect Mr. Baker to be filling his shoes, however.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment, Chris.

I'll take that over the horrible MTU teams over the past several years who have been too afraid to forecheck, hit, or shoot the puck at the net. This is how you score goals and its the only way Tech has a prayer of winning consistently in the WCHA. Also I am not sure what team you saw last year, but in the games I watched: GLI and the Minnesota series in Houghton, they gave up plenty of easy goals and lost all those games. Watching this contest on ESPNU vs those painful games from last year, it isn't even close. This years team looks like a real college hockey team. Mistakes do happen to every team... look at how Minnesota had to come back from a 3-goal deficit to beat RPI... RPI!?!?!?! Its how you recover from those mistakes that matters, do you fold or do you rally and hopefully learn from them?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's my 2 cents from an alum who hasn't seen a Tech hockey team worth writing about until very recently<BR/><BR/>(P.S. shoutout to Big Dave, who is no doubt reading this)Captain Tubularhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619956161013377211noreply@blogger.com
