Minnesota @ Alaska Anchorage: 11/9-11/10

Re: Minnesota @ Alaska Anchorage: 11/9-11/10

Considering the two extra games the Gophers would get from a trip to Alaska, I'm betting they would jump at a chance to take a road trip to Anchorage or _airbanks. Two games is a lot of revenue for the Gophers.

I'd expect this to be true, at least every now and then. If they go up to one of those early-season weekends, it's basically free games. So I'd guess it comes down to how often they are invited, and how often they get other exempted games on their schedule.

As far as this weekend, I'm fully expecting the Gophers to come out with purpose. They've split 2 series already this year that I'm sure they feel they shouldn't have split. If there isn't a sense of urgency this weekend, then I'll start getting a little concerned.

I haven't seen enough of Anchorage this year to say whether or not this sense of urgency will necessarily translate to a sweep. But I do think MN will come ready to play, and will really turn the screws on the Seawolves.

Thanks, I completely forgot about the exemption for playing up there. That changes everything.

Last year for the Gophers, a sweep in Anchorage propelled them into a sweep the next weekend at home against arch rival UND. Let's hope for more of the same this season as the Gophers return home the following weekend to play rival Wisconsin.

Suze, will you be at the games this weekend?

I like that idea.

I expect the Gophers to right the ship rather quickly. The schedule looks quite favorable for them to do so. If they can manage 3 points this weekend they will be well on their way. UW without Zengerle will struggle against UM's stacked Blue Line. This year will be an interesting race in the WCHA. Looking forward to watching this play out.

Nope. Ask UND.

I asked 'em and they told me to F.O....they're pouting early this year.

Nope? No Rope 'a Dope? Doubtful dear. That's Shyiak's Kayak.

The egregious exaggeration employed from your elevated equine is equally empty as it is entirely uneducated.

Minor alliterative redundancies aside, every team traps situationally in the WCHA. It was Dean Talafous who trapped continuously. Shyiak's previous strategy has been one to take advantage of size and strength and try at least to make a possession game work; that didn't work so much because he was a bit behind the curve of the league dynamic toward speed. So that is no longer the case as for at least the last two recruiting cycles he's been much more focused on bringing in skaters. Of course you wouldn't know that since like nearly every Gopher fan you take zero time to engage yourself with regard to opponents; especially UAA. That is of course not a biggee since you all don't really consider the Seawolves much of a worthy opponent. But at least, don't pretend you know what they are about. You don't. Your first opportunity to learn something though is here. Ask the Seawolves fans who are here questions and you'll get their answers. Or continue with the stupidity. It's up to you.

Never forget I can out-condescend anyone on this board including you.

Minnesota travels to Alaska Anchorage to take on the Seawolves this weekend. Minnesota split with Mankato in a home and home series and UAA had a bye week.

Edit: looks like the game will be streamed on GCI, I remember that being pretty solid as far as the quality goes.

So I take it that means no FSN?

We never get FSN for the trip to Alaska. We had it once and it was Frank and Doug here in a booth calling the game from a Video Feed.

We also didn't used to get Tech games though. And I remembered the AK games being broadcast.

So next question: What time? I thought I saw 10 PM, but I thought they were Pacific Time Zone, which I thought would make it 9 PM. (Although maybe the 10PM was Eastern.)

And good to see the old Scoobs back. I think that the biggest reason the Gophs weren't playing to full potential was the Universe was off-kilter, as evidenced by Scoobie's excessively optimistic attitude for the couple weeks before this last weekend. So I am taking the 49% as a sign of things being right in the Universe again.

Anchorage is one time zone further west than pacific time. As one of the UAA fans told me when I was up there a few years ago "we're (Alaska) the west coast's central time"

No FSN and the puck will drop at 10PM central time (10:07PM probably)

I hope so. Not sure if we'll go on Friday or Saturday though. I'm thinking Saturday. Why, are you in Anchorage again?

If you see a guy in a Tech jersey...punch him in the face and say it's from me. Chances are, you'll choose the right guy to punch.
