Game Day 1/11/2012

Tonight at 5:07 AKST we face off against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Quick tidbit, if you thought ticket prices were bad at the Sully, Minny has base tickets prices of $35 for this weekend (next home series for Minny who faces off against North Dakota, tickets are $55). I can't even imagine what parking might cost, but I think we still might own the title of most expensive soda, the last time I got a medium it was $6. Then again maybe it's good coffee is cheaper than soda, but anyways I digress.

We need a win, as long as we play tight and cycle the puck we have a good shot. We don't always need to try for the home run play, part of this comes from defensive break downs. One shot can lead to playing from behind, if we shore this up we are dangerous. Last time we played Minny they only had one even-strength goal for the whole weekend. We should have won that Saturday night, but Minny tied it up late. It's finally time to avenge this, and salvage something from this season.

As far as the chat is concerned, I think it's best to leave Alaskana's chat the primary one to finish out this season. I will be there and you can find it here.

  2. Not that I'm condoning negativity, but our seniors need to more patient. If Kurt Haider says our team leaders need to stop taking bait, listen up gentlemen. That was a tough loss, but anon you have been warned.

  3. Most of the UM fans are saying what I said, it was a bad call. That elbow to our players head was a worse hit and could have been a five but it wasn't called that way. Have you ever noticed that when we hit other players in a questionable manner, they crumple to the ice and stay down? We don't, we get back up. Maybe Shyiak needs to tell the guys to stay down!

  4. As much as I'd want things to be fair, other teams players can play possum convincingly. I do not want our program and players to become floppers. Call it my man reflex, but there is nothing honorable or likable in flopping in my eyes.

    And of course there are going to get the calls, there are the #1 team );

  6. Very exciting game to watch. Currier just got a little too excited. Who does Coach start in goal tonight? Kamal the Wall or Gundy? Kamal may be the better goalie, however the team appears to play better in front of Gundy. It should be another exciting game and hopefully a better result.
