Re: Alaska Goal Rush: 10/16-17 UA_, UAA, RPI, RMU
I expect both alaska teams to go 2-0 in this tourney. i'm sure uaa will show a way better effort, but it might not be enough. it's going to come down to goal differential which is sad. If greenham plays like he did last weekend, the nookies will probably take the bryce. I hope i am wrong.

Agreed, although I'm not sure about RPI. They look like a tougher out than people give them credit for.

Only $600 to Fairbanks? Where'd you find that? That is cheap!
3rd row on the 2nd deck, $100. That's significantly cheaper than the $600 flight to Fairbanks.

Very well put MMF. Fairbanks is a great community with a super deep rooted love for our team. I will not guarantee wins, but feel decent about our chances. We will show up and play hard. We will compete. As you can tell, there is no love lost between us and Gangchorage. However, they will compete and play with the same pride that we do. They are equally as well coached as we are, and will be bigger and physical (losing Crowder will be big for them over the course of the year). Overall I think this is a much more balanced tourney then the one in Gangchorage. I look forward to a great tourney. Again this is a great community and a true hockey town. If anyone form RPI or RMU is coming up for the games, let me know. I would love to buy you a beer and meet you. Also UA has a press conference after every game, with the unique feature that allows for the average fan to ask questions (only team in the country that does this that I’m aware of). If you can, you should attend. It’s pretty neat. Overall, I hope this is a tough, fun tourney, which is injury free. I expect a much better showing from Anchorage, then the game against UMich. I’m going with UA 3-1, 3-2 in their respective games. I’ll leave UAA predictions up to someone else. GO NOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to Fairbanks RPI and RMU. I hope you find us gracious hosts around town but not on the ice. We hope to give you hard fought, well played games, and expect nothing less from you. We will not take you lightly. If you beat us it will be well deserved. We have no reason or tendency to be cocky. We’ll leave that to others.
You visit us in the warmest October I can remember in my 45+ years in Alaska. It is not uncommon to have a foot of snow and drop to -10 degrees this time of year. My drive back from Anchorage from this past weekend’s Kendall Tourney was unusually nice, for many reasons. Any drive out of Anchorage is always nice, but it was near 60 degrees much of the trip.
I’ll leave you with a shot of my trip North along the Glenn Highway, back to God’s country, and best wishes for strong showings in the early games.
Go Nooks!

Personally I think UAA should go with the University of Anchorage and leave it at that.
What technically is a nanook anyhow? I've heard of Nanook of the north and I don't suppose the Nanooks would be a bunch of clones or the original Nanook.
I can't believe Sarah Palin didn't clear up that whole mess during her abbreviated term as Governor. As I recall, building a rink in Wasilla was one of the primary accomplishments of her mayoral career. Surely she would have realized how having two Universities of Alaska could be detrimental to promoting Alaska hockey.

Hey Husker. Go find a truther board to post this kind of stuff. The only left wing discussions on this board should be about our forwards.

I should have specified D1 hockey team, and living in the capital district for 18 years qualifies me as having been to upstate New York.

Since no one answered this question and I also did not know the answer, I looked it up.

As for the politics, I too believe that it does not belong here. No matter what your personal views are.

Are you related or associated with UAA trolls or just being a moron?

Neither. Some people thing "upstate" starts in Yonkers, and they're wrong. Some people think "upstate" starts in Poughkeepsie, and they're wrong. Some people think "upstate" starts in Albany and, yes, they're wrong too.

I was stationed at Plattsburgh during the 80's, is that upstate? You have geography issues, so I will leave you with your own thoughts on "upstate New York". I hope RPI plays well on Friday and not so much Saturday.

Re: Alaska Goal Rush: 10/16-17 UA_, UAA, RPI, RMU
We are speaking with Alaskan hockey fans about a dispute regarding the ownership of the University of Alaska. We all know that the Governor was a big fan of the sport so I think it's a fair place to poke fun as opposed to a random shot at someone. He77, there are less than 700K people in Alaska and the two schools have 25K students between them. It wouldn't be surprising to me if this topic actually were addressed at the Governor's level.
Been waiting to pounce RC?

Why not?
This is something whose definition, from my observations, depends strongly upon one's experience and point of view. The article implies that.

Thanks Ralph. If anyone wants to amend that WIKI entry to clarify what Upstate is according to Red Cloud, I too could determine whether I truly grew up in Upstate NY or not. I just hope I don't have to go home and tell everyone that they've been wrong all of these years.

I agree with your other comment. I was just poking fun at Alaska moreso than trying to be political.
It says "master" of bears. I should think there is only one of those. So do we conclude that the Nanooks are one live bad ***** polar bear and a pile of his dead ancestors? Or perhaps one Polar bear and one lost Kodiak bear?

Poking fun at Alaska, ouch there's a first.
