There is always a bright side. Had the Lakers won they would have played Minnesota and we all know what that score would have been .

The end.

On another note, thanks to the late goal by Torrel, the 1st empty netter goes down as the game winner. Anybody ever see something like that before?

Not that I can remember, but I'm sure it's happened on occasion.

Sounded like the Lakers had plenty of good scoring chances tonight, especially in the 1st period, but just couldn't bury enough of them. That's one of their needs. More guys that can finish.

Re: LSSU Lakers Hockey: 2017-18

Another horrible season with no hope for the future . Whitten has not been a very successful coach and the staff has been pretty poor as well. This coaching staff needs to go take coaching lessons at some hockey camp somewhere or every season will be the same.

Two teams in the nation will not be going to the play-offs and Lake State is one of them . Whitten,so far I would have to give you a F if we were grading coaches. I would also give your staff a F as well and there lies a big problem . You are three coaches with a F grade and no signs that you can even move up to a D . Most likely the real answer has always been coaching is not your thing or your staffs thing and that keeps the team from becoming a good team .

33 points with FSU and Alaska wins tie breaker. Alaska and Ferris/both with 31 or 32 points/Ferris wins tie breaker
And there could be a three way tie with 33 pts if Ferris beats Lakers in 3x 3 or shoot out. UAH loses and Alaska wins. Alaska wins that tie breaker

WCHA 1-5 set in stone....

1.Minnesota State 2. Northern Michigan 3. Bowling Green 4. Bemidji State 5. Michigan Tech

Final playoff berth will be settled tonight...Alaska or Lake Superior State

6-9 still up for grabs for seeding


UAH 33 pts and FSU 31 pts have clinched a playoff spot.

Alaska is eighth with 30 and Lake State has 27...Lakers need three points meaning they have to beat Ferris in regulation or five-minute OT(and Lakers lost to Ferris at Ferris last night) and Alaska loses again to UAA. Lakers only way to get in playoffs. Lakers own tie--breaker "C" over Nanooks/one less conference loss.

Alaska clinches final position with one point tonight period.


Alaska can finish six thru ninth....

Sixth with win and loses by Ferris and UAH...Alaska owns tie breaker "E" over UAH with a win over first place Minnesota State and would win all tie breaker scenarios with Ferris too I believe....

And there could be a three way tie with 33 pts if Ferris beats Lakers in 3x 3 or shoot out. UAH loses and Alaska wins.
Not sure here...but might favor AK>>> u tell me......

Lake Superior State has since corrected their story from last night saying that were officially eliminated to saying that need to help to advance from this the last weekend of the regular season.....

Please correct me if I am wrong...........

If the Lakers beat Ferris tonight and UAA beats Alaska again, the Lakers get the final playoff spot and Alaska is out. I haven't looked at tie breakers between UAH, Ferris and Alaska.

Re: LSSU Lakers Hockey: 2017-18

Well, thanks to UAA, the Lakers still have an outside shot at making the playoffs. Not a very good chance maybe, but still a chance.

The Lakers won most of the stats in their game last night, just not the biggest one, the scoreboard.

I thought so too, but your University website says it is statistically impossible for them to make the playoffs. Why is that?

Wow! The team that the supposed “insiders,” the people that think they know everything said had “quit,” “wouldn’t play for this coach,” that had a bad dressing room is going to drop the puck with a 4 game win streak (and 3 of the previous 4 losses were by 1 goal to the #2 & #3 teams in the league) and a shot at the post season. It wasn’t the players that quit. It was the keyboard rattling know it alls. Go Soo Lakers!

I'm glad the team turned their season around but it wasn't just the few on here you should be concerned about. Go out into town and get after 600 to 900 or so fans that quit going to the games.

Go Lake State Lakers

Many of the players were 100% playing uninspired hockey for most of that stretch, which will lead some of us to make assumptions. I know first hand how grating Damon can be outside of the locker room, so it's pretty easy to make assumptions on what could be happening inside of it.

I still think think they had a bad locker room, but its definitely shifted from being a possible coaching issue to being because of a bad apple. Once a certain player was arrested for breaking an ice sculpture downtown, the team started to play better. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe he was being toxic and bringing the room down.

No matter what the issue may have been to cause the slump, I'm glad the team has been looking good recently, and bodes well for next season, assuming there aren't too many early departures (because let's face it, there almost always is). Hell, I'm glad to be eating crow if the Lakers of the last month show up again this weekend.

Seems the season is finishing with excitement .

It'll be even more exciting if the Lakers win tonight.
