While I still disagree with scheduling Wisconsin, I am pleased with the result. Whenever we win against our former conference members I will smile, I just wish we swept them out of their own barn!
Reading up on the stats for this weekend series, we haven't swept the Cows since '93! Yikes! We gots to change that. Hope the boys aren't too jet lagged and are extremely hungry. If we do end up sweeping the Cows (anything can happen in a "rivalry" series) that would catapult us to 16 points in 16 league games played, this pace of points per game would almost assure of us home ice during the playoffs. This would also lend a helping hand to Bowling Green to eventually jump over the Cows for 2nd place. While I know this rebuilding process will take some time, I am salivating at the opportunity here at hand. And so should the boys.
Also we are at .500, this late into the season! How nice does that sound? All of my life UAA has been below the .500 mark when the season ended, and while the second chapter of this season is still waiting to be written, we just went into the Kohl Center and split with Wisconsin who is 11-6-1. And sure, they didn't have some of their best players out there for both nights, and we caught them off guard off the holiday break, and their was not enough fans in the Kohl to cheer us on, etc. But we did it, we split against a team who should not split with us.
As I've said before, I am a Boston Red Sox fan. 3rd generation fan, from a family that grew up 96 miles from Boston. The Seawolves are the pre-2004 Boston Red Sox. But, UAA has been striving for a .500 record, whereas the Red Sox were searching for a World Series Championship. Just the Boston, UAA sprints off the start line with a usually good record. Then WCHA play starts, and slowly and surely they both crumble. Mind you it is either a slow, tumultuous fall from grace, or the **** quite literally hits the fan in a fashion you have never seen before. Is this the season we finally get over the hump? Is Matt Thomas finally the answer as head coach?
I couldn't find a thread for this weekend so I made this.
