Old Dog: That Weekend Left A Lot To Be Desired

Things didn’t work out very well for the Huskies this weekend, as they were swept in Mankato by Minnesota State. They lost two well-played one-goal games and were just worn down by the #3 ranked Mavericks, whose depth eventually led to just a couple of turnovers that turned into MSU goals. However, the Old Dog...

Old Dog: The Crisis (with apologies to Tom Paine)

These are the times that try fans’ souls. The summer supporter and the sunshine proponent will, in this crisis, shrink from the Huskies; but those that stand by Them Dogs now, deserve the love and thanks of the Husky Nation. Failure, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that...

Old Dog: Ready or Not, Here It Comes

Six in a row—and eight more to go. That’s the latest on the Michigan Tech Huskies as this COVID-19 season rushes to an end. Tech dropped a tough two game series to Bowling Green down in Ohio at the end of January, and then faced a hard stretch of 6 games in 11 days. It...

Old Dog: Mid-Term Grades

After sweeping Alabama-Huntsville over the past weekend, Michigan Tech now sits at 11-5-1 and 3-2 in the truncated WCHA Chase for the MacNaughton Cup.

Old Dog: On the Husky Roller Coaster

It was a big game, a conference game, a game in February that really mattered, and a game that the Huskies had to win to stay relevant in the national college hockey landscape. And it was Tech’s third game in five days, something that rarely happens in D1 college hockey. It was also a game...

Old Dog: Odds and Ends on an Off Weekend

With Michigan Tech temporarily out of action due to COVID issues on the team, the Old Dog spent his hockey-watching time last weekend surfing college hockey games in the western conferences. In keeping with the rules that most NCAA institutions have adopted for the pandemic, we don’t know many details about what’s going on with...

Old Dog: A Riddle Wrapped in A Mystery Inside an Enigma

Michigan Tech ran their winning streak to five this weekend with a sweep of Alabama-Huntsville, but it was another series that has to leave most fans scratching their heads about this year’s edition of the Huskies. Even though Them Dogs are now 2-0 in the WCHA standings, this team is turning out to be an...

Santa’s List for Good Huskies

Fresh from a sweep of Northern Michigan—always a joy to the world—the Huskies are heading into the holiday break on a three game winning streak. In addition, they’ve shown they can play very well against top teams, like Minnesota State, but also can play not-so-very-well as they have a couple of times. But now the...
