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.

Actually, it *es me off that people get mad when you say they play the trap. It's like you accused their team of clubbing baby seals with non-biodegradable coal-filled cigarettes or something.

Too funny.

Thanks!

UAA certainly outplayed UND for the first 10 minutes of the 2nd period. UND seemed to give up at this point and the Seawolves were more than willing to let them do that.

Oh UAA was much more dominant that that. From the end of the first period to the end of the second period, UND managed two shots on net. UAA got better as the game went on, UND did not. The only time the Sioux were the better team was the first half of the first period. And Bryce was responsible for keeping UAA in the game at that point.

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....

Gawd not another shutout! Does anyone have the record for the # of shutouts the Gophs have suffered in a single season?

QFT.

Well, the last 5 minutes of the game I'd give to the Sioux too...but having 2 PP and the extra attacker probably helped that.

Funny stuff right there.

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

The Gophers copy the Sioux and stand around for about 40 minutes. The UAA will play a bit better than they did last night, {and} UAA has shown that they are perfectly willing to take it. <--- the victories

Thanks. UAA certainly outplayed UND, UND seemed to give up. The Seawolves were more than willing to let them do that. <--- get asses handed to them

Liberaly edited for my pleasure....However, good to see big "d" deriding his own team. It's gold!

And then, i think the cfb, cc, boarding majors are a front, makes other teams think about that hit...that could hurt a LOT... lets leave this win behind as it's not that significant in the overall picture. The men have got to bring the same intensity to the DON this weekend and penetrate a goophers team that is reeling and, oddly enough, has a string(s) about booting tDON. One season, one bad start to the season, give the dude a little leeway.. I don't care for him much, but u have Hill as a replacement... think 2 times about that. :O)

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.

The trap (rhymes with the clap, maybe that's why people don't like it?) is to prevent a team from entering your defensive zone, creating a mostly dump in, shoot out, back and forth type of game (i.e. boring). Most of the time against the Sue the puck was in the UAA zone, it's just UAA was out blocking shots and applying high pressure (using their size) and creating chances on the counter. Or the Sue weren't even there and the puck was in the North Dakota end thus eliminating the need to play the trap.

Or to put it simply, we weren't playing the trap.

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

The big question is who will score for Minnesota? I have almost finished cleaning out my vomit bucket from the past two weekends and me thinks at least I got the vomit in the bucket!! Guys, please get some of the shots on net, the scoring chances seem to imcrease when the shot hits the target!! Is this the weekend the real Jorden Schroeder shows up, is this the weeked Hoffel gets his shots on the net?, only time will tell......................

Please o Please someone, anyone just score.

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

The delayed broadcast had the most important stat of all. 1934 is now meaningless cause the 09-10 club has become the worst scoring Gopher team of all time after 4 games.

EDIT: Attendance for Sunday's game will be non-existent as the Vikes-Pack play at the same time. As it is I will likely DVR it and watch it after the football game.

Just wondering what the atmosphere was like last weekend for the Gophers. I watched it on TV and the crowd seemed pretty dead. Lucia commented that it's hard to get the support of the crowd when you don't score. Just curious if the 9800 fans there were all sitting on their hands?

The Sully is dead when UAA has a bad game, but I assumed that large attendances like UM would still be rowdy, am I wrong?

There has been some changes made to what the band can and cannot do leading cheers and that has affected the atmosphere from what I've heard. We even have stupid piped in music now even with the band which is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. I expect it will be a sparser crowd on Sunday due to the start time and the Vikes Pack. If the Gophers score it will get rowdy, if they don't score this coming weekend the boo-birds may come out.

The boo birds were out on Saturday night. They started vocalizing their un-approval during the third or fourth "power" play.

It'll only get worse from here. They have to go on the road to Wisconsin after this weekend so even if they sweep Anchorage the best record they'll have is 2-5-1 and they may not score in Madison.

If Anchorage gives them fits or sweeps them you could be looking at a 0-7-1 record.

That happens then teams that lose to the Gophers will start getting depressed.

I know most saw it differently, but I didn't think UAA stepped up much from Friday to Saturday. I thought they played pretty well on Friday, battling and hitting all night, but the Sioux just played outstanding the first night and got a few bounces. The lopsided score was somewhat decieving. I thought both games were fast paced and exciting, regardless of what the refs tried to about that.

This UAA team is the biggest and meanest I've seen in the league in a few years. Minny better have extra ice bags in the locker room.

The Seawolves will do their best to help you extend your record setting pace for the record books.
They will hit you hard and often, if given the opportunity they will storm in on offence and create confusion in the blue ice. Don’t get down on the Seawolves because keep in mind they were just picked to finish 9th. The stars are all lined up for the gophers extending the streak……right on course
Get a home series over Halloween and the coach pulls some strings so the team still gets to go trick or treating during prime hours 6pm -10 pm.
Tons of keg parties all weekend long
Get 45 hours of ice therapy sandwiched between beat downs.
Also thinking better not become a bug on the windshield to often as have a short week to heal before the bus trip to Madison.
How lucky can you get, I am so happy for you.

We're already planning Eidsness' demise for giving up 3 to Minnesota.

Maybe UND should make Gothberg accelerate. That way he can come in at Christmas and we can throw Eids in the Red.

I have no doubt Anchorage is big and strong and blocks a lot of shots. That being said from what I have read the reason UND lost Saturday is because they didn't skate. The Gophers certainly could take that approach like they did in game one but my guess is after being embarrassed like they have been they'll decide to move around a little bit.
