Another forgettable Friday night, so we're going for a split tonight /sigh.

But it starts out 0-0. Let's get an early goal.

Another powerplay goal... this is ridiculous.

The announcers are criticizing the refs, but you can't give up four powerplay goals.

Hey, all those calling for Red's head, maybe just relax a bit. He's on his way out as it is and we have tons of youth matriculating into the lines. Let's allow the season to play out a bit longer before we castrate one of the best coaches in the history of hockey--like the sport.

For a while I said the talent on the team surely will come around and we'll perform better but it didn't get any better either of the last two seasons and it won't get better this year. Barring a sudden turnaround (which would be very uncharacteristic of this program) this team will miss the tournament too

This is just a poorly coached program

We had a two men advantage and did nothing... now another penalty on us.

PS-Anyone else hearing an echo on the radio stream? Sounds like they have the Tech announcers on delay or something.

It's like there are two players active. Click pause, and the echo should go away.

He signed a 5-year extension in September. I wonder if he has a buyout clause for Michigan.

Mel's last contract required him to pay the university if he left before fulfilling it.

I doubt he has a buyout clause, its just really different in hockey, and Houghton.

I guess he was complaining(taken down on the previous play) and they threw him out.

Multiple coaching searches. This is not the excellence mentioned by Schissel as the Michigan standard.

When Red retires you'll be able to get Mel. Tech won't outbid you, and no sane person chooses to live in Houghton for that long.

2 of the big three sports here need coaching changes.

Pearson is the obvious choice. The only doubts I had about him were due to his record at Tech coming into this year. Don't look now, but Tech is the best team in the state of Michigan now.

The upside is that I'm now super impressed with what Mel Pearson has done at Michigan Tech. In just a few years he's turned them from an absolute bottom-dweller to starting the season with sweeps of LSSU, Ferris, and Michigan. I hope Mel keeps tearing it up and Red realizes that 3 years removed from the tournament is unacceptable while bringing in the best recruits in the conference. Red is a legend, but if this doesn't say "it's time to hang 'em up" then I don't know what does.
