Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season

FSU is not fancy. They throw the puck on net and go hard to the crease. They earn what they get. They typically outwork everyone.
Be the exception. Outwork FSU this weekend on home ice. Don't let them get that half step going to the crease.
We need these points.

Go Nooks!

Re: Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season

Nanooks win! A great game by the whole team, coming from behind a couple times and not giving up. Our penalty kill was not good once again, but thankfully after the first period we stayed out of the box except for a few offsetting penalties. The first power play for us was crazy, hitting the post 3 times in one minute. It’s fun to look back at as long as you win the game! Let’s complete the sweep, with a win we can move above Ferris and potentially Huntsville with games in hand.

Nanooks win!! First conference sweep of the year, now to continue playing like this next week at Northern Michigan. This is the time to get hot as we head into the playoffs.

Into the black hole abyss of Marquette we go. Three wins all-time in that lakefront metropolis.
 
Re: Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season

0-0 after one.
NMU controlled play the last 10 minutes and we were lucky to get out of the first 0-0.
Lets go boys, tighten up the defense and get more pucks and bodies to the net.

Go Nooks!

1-1 after two. SOGs 16-12 NMU.
NMU has quick sticks. We need quicker shots and and just more hard work in the crease.
The boys are playing pretty well. Martinsson has been solid when the defense breaks down.

Go Nooks!
 
Re: Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season

NMU takes it 2-1 in OT with a deflection as the NMU powerplay expires.
Good game by the boys.
Get'em tomorrow.

Go Nooks!
 
Re: Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season

Probably not ideal to have our two week road trip down the stretch as we fight for a playoff spot, but it is what it is. After getting swept by NMU we head to Bemidji for a Thursday/Friday series. Then back home for our final series against UAA.

Maybe not mathematically, but in a practical sense, if we win one of last four games we are probably in the playoffs (unless FSU sweeps MSU and then LSSU sweeps FSU). If we win two then we’re in. Any best of three series will be tough for us, but definitely would rather not see MSU until it is a one game take all.

Hoping for a split at Bemidji. We’ve been playing everybody tough but can’t seem to get over the hump. And we can’t take UAA lightly. They have nothing to play for except a little pride in taking us out of the playoffs if that option is still on the table the last weekend. Regardless, taking a game or two from us in Mantha’s last series would probably be the high point of their season.

Meh. It should be an easy 4 points for the Nanooks. And I'm not sure Mantha will play both games anyway. He's a bit burned out, in my opinion. Too much of this season has been on his shoulders. Our 3rd string backup is playing pretty good right now, and it's nice to see him get some ice time. (Our 2nd string goalie was injured pre-season and has been out all year).

Regulation and first OT wins are worth 3 points per game. Assuming you think the Nooks will sweep and not have anyovertime games, I just wanted to clarify.

I’m sure Mantha will play Saturday since it’s his last game. Wouldn’t be surprised to see one of your other guys on Friday, though.

Thanks for pointing that out, yes I think the Nooks will sweep.
