For the record, he was referring to Doyle Woody losing his job. And nobody is gloating over Thomas losing his job. It simply had to be done if the program was to survive. The world of coaching can be brutal.

I guarantee you Woody has a hard on right now, then he'll fondly remember the Aces and then he'll turn into ditto.

I'm sure it's treatable...if you have something to work with.

It's interesting how some gloat when someone else loses their job. Classy.

Totally agree, and thank you for posting this. Mantha was supposed to split duties with Stead, but unfortunately Stead tore his ACL at the Green and Gold game before the season ever began (typical UAA bad luck). That put most of the season on Mantha's shoulders, which was a ton of pressure and it wasn't fair given UAA's poor defense and penalty kill. I hope to see him in the NHL some day, it would not surprise me at all to hear he gets an offer. I am thankful he stayed all four years.

Mental fortiude is off the charts if you stick around in this mess.

Which makes your team getting swept by UAA even more pathetic!

There should be a nickname for end of season losses up north.

North by Loss
Late-season blues
Greener pastures

One point, and then we can resume our regularly scheduled sniping.

Even though it was at our expense, I was happy Mantha left a winner. He deserved a lot better over his college career, and I think he was easily the best goalie in the WCHA over the last couple of seasons. When I watched him in person in December, his facial expression and body language were that of a guy who was just done. I’m glad for his sake his teammates gave him something positive to go out on. He earned it.

You and I do agree on that point.

Or we could employ the UAA method and miss the playoffs four straight years while finishing 60 out of 60 in the PWR.

Enjoy getting swept again.

Not a good look, getting swept by your inferior rival, in your barn, to end the season. If LSSU did there part, you wouldn't even be in the playoffs. Enjoy your "success" by another technicality.

The flowers and family photo were new this year. Was nice to see.

UAH has done that for years. I wonder if Lance made that push.

Major kudos to the teams at the end of the game. The refs and Thomas didn’t want the teams to do the handshake but Nathan Renouf basically ignored it after discussion and started the line. It was nice to see.

[UAFIceAngel]

Called it.

Also, did our part to sweep you out of the playoffs.

We made playoffs though
