Alaska Anchorage @ Minnesota 10/30/09-11/1/09

Re: Alaska Anchorage @ Minnesota 10/30/09-11/1/09

I think the Gophers have to sweep. Have to. UAA may be good enough to beat a disinterested Sioux team in their own barn, but this game is at home for the Gophers and the Gophers are desperate. Goalies have been playing well, defense has not been terrible. Shut them down and find a way to score some goals. They weren't blanked against British Columbia, UAA is better but not necessarily that much better than them.

4 points or it's the end of the world.

Good luck with that.
This Seawolves team (the one that showed up on Sat night at least) is better offensively than I've seen in awhile...good at transition and feisty.
Clark and Grant are both gifted players.
Plus, if they get the lead, they can shut you down. :)

Desperate times. Desperate times.

These 2 teams are so bad I expect two scoreless ties. Only because negative totals are not possible. :mad:
 
Re: Alaska Anchorage @ Minnesota 10/30/09-11/1/09

It's called defense.

Don't get your panties in a wad. I asked a legitimate question. And since most teams who trap have fans who will never admit that they trap, I must say that my question is still standing. No offense intended.

I'm not accusing your team of trapping, I'm just asking a question.

If UAA plays like they did last night, they will sweep.

I wouldn't be so sure. Unless the Gophers copy the Sioux and stand around for about 40 minutes, the UAA will probably have to play a bit better than they did last night. Of course if the Gophers do decide to just stand around, UAA has shown that they are perfectly willing to take advantage of it.

My panties are just fine, and I was just answering a question.

Too funny.

Just a note: "The Trap" is not a dirty word, nor a crime. ;)

If a team plays the trap, then just admit it. It's not like fans will send you into exile like a leper. :rolleyes:

I'm not real optimistic about this weekend and I usually am. I hope they sweep, But really I'd just be happy with some goals.


My pick is split.
UAA 1-0 on friday
Minnesota 5-2 Saturday.

Just one mans opinion....

There is nothing to admit. UAA did not play the trap against UND. They out worked and out hustled the Sioux last night. Just 100% effort from every player, great team work.

Didn't mean you specifically. Many fans, for whatever reason, get really defensive/angry if someone says that their team plays The Trap. It really *es me off. :cool:

I hate it when a team plays the trap against my team as well, the Badgers often have that game plan. UAA was much more aggressive in their win, good forchecking as well as backchecking. Talafous loved to play the trap, and it was BORING. Last nights game was in no way boring. It was fast paced and exciting.
