It’s OK To Be Defensive

As the 2021-22 NCAA hockey season creeps toward us, all semi-rabid Husky hockey fans are panting and pacing, just waiting for the puck to drop. While we are waiting, the Old Dog is taking a look at this year’s Michigan Tech roster. As we noted last week this is the largest roster that Tech has...

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. This is a good time to review the team as a whole and see where they grade out because the final month will be frenetic. Currently, there are 11 games left...

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...
