We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one JJ. I think Shyiak's emotions and frustration got the best of him - again.

He's taking a risk to win a game, a Non-Conference game I might add, he had to take. His team had given up already and needed a kick in the * and he had to do something and that was all he could do.

He tried to win the game when other coaches would've given up as well, I'm happy he tried it and you should be as well.

I don't really get it but 11-10-9 travel to 8-7-6...and so I guess the first five get a first round bye...after that I don't really know what happens haha

That is so stupid. You can finish as low as 8th place and still get home ice? ********.

Second round is 1-4 hosting 5 and the three winners of the first round. I think it's a bit screwy how 5 gets a bye but no home ice, but whatever. I think I'd rather they just do 1-5 hosting 6-10, and have 11 sit out.

Ya like I said I don't get it...but I'm sure it'll change if D-1 gets their big ten conference and it'll mix up all the conferences. Oh well

And that's how I feel about Anchorage, heck I normally don't even get a hotel and would just leave right after the game. But it's always fun watching your own team wins in your rivals barn (when it happens). I've been yelled at and seen people throw stuff at Nanook fans in Anchorage but it doesn't deter them.

Uh maybe because a person from Fairbanks can shop, eat at different resturants, ski, enjoy some sights etc. Plenty to do for them in Anchorage. For me, in the spare time in Fairbanks, it's either sit in the hotel room or go to a bar, that's it.

Plus nobody at the Sully is coming up to you unprovoked to fight you because you have a UAF shirt on.

I think that's how it used to be done before UNO joined the league.

You obviously haven't explored Fairbanks cause there are plenty of places to eat(valatta,turtle club,silver gulch), ski (birch hill and moose mountain) and sights to see (Santa clause house, chena hot springs...)

And I'm sure if I was a guy, all the years I've traveled to anchorage, SOMEONE would have approached me. Few years ago I had some college students run by and he tried to rip up my sign that I had.

Getting 5th place in the CCHA is about the worst anyone can hope for. To not get a playoff game on your own ice sucks. I have a pretty good feeling we will see the buckeyes in the first round considering the outcomes.

That was a pretty swift kick in the a** for Spanchorage. Brooms are packed for the trip tomorrow. SWEEP

And the ice art is officially under way here which has awesome things to see.

Um let's see, can't afford and they probably aren't that good, those are hills not mountains, and been there and been there. No place to hang out and kill time, well except movies I could watch here.

I'm going to side with Suze here. I think it was a very poor decision. I can understand wanting to pull the goalie early, but that was just unproductively desperate. UAA was only 2 goals down at the time. He had a few minutes at least to hope for a PP.

Re: Alaska Airlines Governors Cup UA vs. UAA Feb 25th & Feb 26th

I should probably know by the headline "Alaska Airlines", but with about a six hour drive between the two cities, I assume these teams fly to Anchorage? Immediately after the game tonight? Tomorrow morning? Do they take the same flight?

UAA is leaving out tonight. Probably boarding the plane in a few for the 12:20am flight. UAF flies tomorrow at noon. Pre-game meal in anchorage and fly back right after the game. No hotel.

EDIT: This is all assuming these flights aren't rescheduled for the storm.

I have to disagree, I'm not gonna repeat myself, just look at my previous posts. You can't fault him for taking a risk that had to be taken.
