CCHA Second Round: Alaska @ NMU

Re: CCHA Second Round: Alaska @ NMU

Hate to say I told you so...but I told you so

Thanks buddy, but I've got no problems eating some crow on this one.

I consider it a badge of honor that so many fans from other teams feel it necessary to single me out.

I'm looking forward to an NMU sweep this weekend!

Go Cats!

Re: CCHA Second Round: Alaska @ NMU

I think Reid has the potential to be a really good CCHA goaltender next season when Stewart leaves. Walt obviously has more confidence in Stewart but Reid has very similar numbers 2.32 GAA and a .926 save %. I also think that Reid is technically a much stronger goalitender than Stewart.

I agree, I'm good friends with a future 'Cat in Reed Seckel and last year Seckel and Ellingson were teammates for Green Bay in the USHL and I made the trip to catch a couple games and I came away very impressed with Ellingson, he looks to be a very serviceable CCHA netminder.

No one asked you Troll. When your input is wanted or warranted, you will ask me for permission and I may or may not grant it. Until then, do not continue posting in NMU threads that don't involve Miami. All you are doing is baiting and it's not appreciated.

Have we somehow crossed over into some bizarre alternate universe in which you are the omnipotent overseer?

Back to the subject at hand...as a college hockey fan (not affiliated with NMU, UA [U]or[U] Miami)...I will say this: If I could choose any series in the country to attend this weekend, I'd be headed to Marquette. This has all the makings of an epic series between two evenly matched teams that are both playing their best hockey of the season.

Let's Go 'Cats!

One game at a time from here on out. No looking over opponents. Winning is still the best route to both a big hunk of granite in March and a chunk of wood with some glass in it come April.

The Brotherhood of the Red and White needs no individual honors, for they are the Brotherhood.

(Did I mention they are the Brotherhood, 14awl and awl41).

Re: CCHA Second Round: Alaska @ NMU

I may be biased, but Knelsen should have been a first team selection, and Fergie should have been a COY nominee! Anyway I wish this was on TV, kind of chaps me a little. As everyone said, this should be a great match up. I wish I was going to be there, I bet the atmosphere is going to be awesome! I hope we can break our "curse" in Marquette! I'm hoping for a great weekend of fast paced, injury free hockey. Go Nooks!

Knelsen is a nice player, but he isn't on the same level yet. And I agree Fergie should of been a nominee, but is there any doubt on who is going to get the award? Not trying to be biased either but when you only lose twice in conference play I think its safe to say you are a lock for coach of the year.

Re: CCHA Second Round: Alaska @ NMU

Rico should win it, he is a fantastic coach. I just think Fergie should have been nominated. Dion is a great player. Most people look at him as a senior, and forget he just turned 21. He is younger than some of the guys on the all rookie team. Actually he is the youngest or second youngest senior in the country. If Dion played for one of the "upper" teams like Umich, or Miami we wouldn't even be engaged in this conversation. Alaska "stole" him four years ago. He was committed to mjrs, and colleges backed off (except UA). As a UA fan, I'm glad he decided to become a Nanook! It will be interesting to see what he does after college.

Re: CCHA Second Round: Alaska @ NMU

..........also whenever the Nooks play Miami I cheer when we score, but when Miami plays someone else, I cheer when Cody makes a save. I really enjoyed watching him play for the Fairbanks Ice dogs. He is a great guy, and a great player. He will always have a ton of fans here in Fairbanks!

Agree 100% Fergie should of been a canidate. I don't think Alaska gets pushed aside at all. Knelsen is a solid player but he isn't on the same level as the 6 guys voted in front of him. Also Taranto will be freshman of the year in the conference. That kid had a phenomial year, so you will get yours and you aren't forgotten in the great white north!

Has anyone in Marquette heard how ticket sales are going? I'd love to see a couple of sellouts.

Looking at the NMU ticket site, there are some empty sections yet. Walk up sales are going to need to be big.

Re: CCHA Second Round: Alaska @ NMU

IT'S GAMEDAY

Just wanted to let everyone know

There really isn't much else to be said... The Cats just need to worry about Alaska tonight, and that's it... No NCAA talk, no Mason Cup talk, no Frozen Four talk... Just worry about UA_... If you take care of them, the rest will come... This group of kids is well seasoned... It's time for them to step up to the plate and follow through on some heavy expectations...

I'll be sporting the Cat jersey all day at work today... Make me proud boys!

GO CATS! GO CATS! GO CATS GO!
