Alaska Nanooks 2013-14 Season Thread - On the Road to Perdition...

Re: Alaska Nanooks 2013-14 Season Thread - On the Road to Perdition...

The box office at the Patty Center is only open Wednesday-Friday, so I'm surprised that this weekend's games were sold out before anyone had the chance to buy tickets on campus. Could all 2,OOO-some seats really be taken by season ticket holders (with maybe a few giveaways to community groups}?
 
Re: Alaska Nanooks 2013-14 Season Thread - On the Road to Perdition...

I believe that students get in "free" to games since they already paid thru their required activity fee. I doubt any tickets were sold this week. Between season pass holders and students, the place should max out capacity quickly. Not sure how long they will wait after the doors open to declare they have "unsold" tickets. Probably won't happen. But this is just the way I think it works. Someone chime in if they know the real scoop.

Mercyhurst is a solid club. We should take two from them at home, but it won't be easy. If we don't skate hard for 60 minutes each game, our post season chances could take an early hit, just like they did last year against Canisius. Hopefully we learned a painful lesson last year. Every game counts.

Go Nooks!

Postseason chances already took a hit with the QU loss. If we drop one to Mercyhurst that'll probably be all she wrote, barring us winning the WCHA title.

Also I believe HooDoo Brewing is providing the beer this weekend.

And, we will be wearing retro sweaters. I'm not sure how retro, but the polar bear from the old school UAF logo is involved.

The building capacity is more like 1350, and that's with teams and support staff. Guess there are least that many season ticket holders. Am told that if all season ticket holders don't show up by the drop of the puck, they will let students in free to capacity....Heard they are doing video next door at the SRC.....

Students get in "free" regardless. I think they set aside a certain number of seats for students...if they didn't then they need their heads examined.

Hopefully it's loud and rowdy, especially without the Carlson Center Fun Police roaming around.

The audio on the web feed is so bad it is nearly unintelligible. I asked for a refund but I doubt I get it.

3-1 Mercyhurst in the 2nd. Just because we are playing in throwback jerseys doesn't mean we have to revert to the records of those yester years....

4-2 Mercyhurst toward the end of the 2nd period. Sounds loud, how many fans are in the Patty?

Not as many as I was expecting but there are a lot of people standing up top and down by the glass in the "beer garden". Disappointed in the lack of student involvement. Not as loud as I was expecting.

Well that was a wild ride. Looked good to open, stunk it up for the next period and change, then just went on a rampage in the third :)

One thing I do like about this team is that they've shown they can come back from a deficit. That hasn't always been the case in the past.

I haven't been able to figure it out either. I used to be able to, but they have changed something.

If Jimjamesak and mmf can do it I don't think it is rocket science. but they do have something in common.
