MTU Hockey Climbs in Polls
The Michigan Tech hockey team climbed to number-four in both the USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls this week. The Huskies were idle last weekend, and will host eighth-ranked Minnesota Duluth this Friday and Saturday.
NHL – Red Wings
The Red Wings host the Maple Leafs tomorrow night. Faceoff is at 8:00 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3 WCCY.
Former Red Wings’ assistant Paul MacLean is no longer the head coach of the Senators. He was fired yesterday, just a season-and-a-half after he was named NHL Coach of the Year.
NBA – Pistons Host Blazers
The Pistons host the Trailblazers tonight. Tip-off is at 7:30 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3 WCCY.
NFL – Packers
In the NFL last night, the Packers opened up a 24-point halftime lead, then hung on to pull out a 43-37 victory over the Falcons. Atlanta scored 30 points in the second half, while holding Green Bay to four Mason Crosby field goals to turn a potential rout into a thriller. If you played The Wolf Pro Football Challenge, you need to have picked 13 games correctly to be this week’s winner.
