I just don't understand the lack of intensity by the Seawolves. No emotion, nothing. It goes to lack of leadership of the upperclassmen, and right to Shyiak for not knowing how to get his guys to come out and play with some passion. I have started to hear rumblings from people close to the program that Shyiak is miserable to play for.
I would absolutely agree about the lack of emotion and intensity with this team. I'm uneasy pointing fingers without being out there and actually knowing who is not doing their job. Could be Shyiak, could be the upperclassmen. But they've shown that they can play with the strong teams but without the emotion, theres no point.
Playing with a top notch team one out of 4 games is tough to stomach. These guys have the opportunity to play the bet competition week in and week out and they look like they could care a less. Something needs to change, and in a hurry.
They do have the opportunity and they've shown that they can when their actually interested in doing so. Yet it doesn't seem like they have any heart into it most of the time.

I had UAA as a possible dark horse this season. If they don't get that leadership, it won't happen. That's what killed my (similarly upperclassmen-laden) Huskies the year after we made the F5.
Hopefully Shyiak can wake the seniors up. I'd love to see UAA make some noise.
As a fan, it's like a punch in the gut to watch the team you support, put forth such a heartless effort more often than not. Something has to give.
4-1 MN Final
Pathetic hockey by UAA
Gave MN their first home sweep since 2000.
