  • Re: Alaska Nanooks 2012-2013: Going Out With a Bang

    Did we really just score five goals and win in Yost?

      Sure did.

      Tomorrow's game will be on Dish Network nationwide on sports alternate channel 448. (i get it through the $9 a month multi-sports pack) Not aware of any other nooks game on tv this year outside of Alaska.

        One of the games next week against Notre Dame is supposed to be on CBS College Sports.

          With all due respect to Steve Thompson, I think the rest of this season needs to be about Keeney and Cahill.
          Not last night 4 goals on 23 shots.

            Not that big of a deal this season. Michigan is 6-7-0 at home this year. So much for home ice advantage. Basketball being a national power has taken hockey's spot as the #2 sport on campus and you can tell this by the attendance.

                    I had to laugh when I read that!

                    Congrats 'Nooks on your sweep.

                      I don't care how crappy Michigan is this year, getting a sweep at Yost after a 7 game winless streak and no game action for 34 days is pretty impressive. Especially considering we haven't swept Michigan before, ever.

                        A great sweep for the 'Nooks this weekend, who didn't show many signs of rust after such a long layoff. And coming into Yost and getting a sweep is impressive, regardless of how strong or weak Michigan may or may not be. While we have not had the greatest success in Yost, we have had some good success against Michigan in recent years under Ferguson. And with that long of a time to prepare for that series, I would have hoped that to be the case.

                        But Notre Dame will be a bigger test this coming week, although they are showing some signs of wear as of late. They also have a game Tuesday night against Bowling Green after a split with Michigan State. MSU's goalie is hot right now too, and ND did not produce any shortage of scoring chances. So we'll see how they do on a short week travelling back to South Bend.

                        The guys are hanging out in Grand Rapids, Michigan this week getting some practices in. I think they head to South Bend on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.

                        Also, Kunyk and Quinn were the offensive and defensive players of the week. Both had a great series, well deserving. I'd say Keeney was close to deserving as well, but the 4 goals allowed on Friday kinda deterred voters I'm sure. Plus Hildebrand had an impressive series against ND.

                          What a crazy finish! I was really impressed with how resilient the Nanooks were last night. When ND scored that first goal, they didn't quit. They took it to them, and two quick goals later, ND is chasing us the rest of the game.

                          But what an unreal finish to a hockey game. Just full of drama and excitement to get the game winner with just 3 seconds left on the clock! You can't make a movie any better than that! That takes me back 4 years ago when the 'Nooks played Ohio State at home in a game three to advance to the Joe, and deadlocked in a 0-0 tie when Ronnie Meyers scores with less than a minute on the clock to win it 1-0. Chad Johnson with a 50+ save shutout. My excitement was on par with that last night. Crazy!

                            If you don't have Direct TV or Dish, what bars in town will be showing the Sarurday game?

                              This team was dead in the water in December. There's a lot of hockey to play, but sweeping Michigan and Notre Dame is a hell of a way to start 2013.

                              Now that we've learned how to win, it's time to get this NMU monkey off our backs.
