Re: Alaska Nanooks: 2016-17 Season Thread
After 10 games the Nooks sit at 3-6-1 and 11 points. They are in eight place ahead of NMU and UAA. They are one point behind LSSU and two points behind both FSU and UHA. For a team with 20 underclassmen and 12 freshmen, we haven’t played badly. But that lack of experience and untimely mistakes have cost us at times. Of our first 10 games, 6 have been against our tougher conference teams (MSU, BSU, MTU). Against LSSU and UAH we took 8 out of 12 points on the road. Even with our record I’m not that unhappy or disappointed with our play.
We have had two stinker games were we gave up 7 goals (MSU) and 6 goals (BSU), but have stayed close in our other losses. Too many penalties and giving up pp goals was a major part of our stinker games. Doesn’t get easier this coming weekend as we are on the road at MSU.
We still have four games against BGSU, but then the rest of the season is against the “rank-and-file” conference teams: UAAx4, FSUx2, UAHx2, NMUx2, LSSUx2. Our underclassmen are the majority of our team, and hopefully their growth along with a not-as-tough second half schedule will help us move up in the standings. Of course, every "rank-and-file" team is saying the same thing about playing us.
Go Nooks!
