Alaska / UAA : the Strategic, Restructured, Combined 2019-20 Season Thread.

[Jimjamesak]

They’re “prominent”. The press release says so.

The thing I’ve learned in the past few days is everyone feels real bad about what’s happening to UAA and UAF but it’s not their fault and therefore they have no responsibility to help.

What a good game tonight. But man on man, when are the Seawolves going to learn how to not lose a close game? Up 2-1 and they are gifted with a 5 minute power play to end the 3rd period - and they manage to give up a shorty. Sigh. At least they got a point.

Young team. You’ll get there, but hopefully not until after this weekend.

Oh give us one win. It's for the greater good.

Besides, you guys always win in the shootout anyway.

Hockey east wants both teams.

Seawolves played a good game on Saturday night. Giving up the shorty hurt them. . They gave both Minnesota teams a scare, I think the young blood on this team has a bright future, and I think they are being well coached. Not super confident they can beat the Mavs in the playoffs, but I hope they give em hell!

Oh, and a split with Fbx would be nice too..

No reason to think they won't split. When UA_ came to Anchorage they eeked out a win on Friday 3-2, but UAA beat them on Saturday 4-0. Are goals scored going to be a tie breaker this season, as it has been in the past?

I hope it's a moot point, but I don't recall the Gov Cup being decided by goal differential. We tied in 2014-15 but there was no goal differential, and the Nooks won the shootout. We tied in 2011-12 and the Nooks had a 15-11 advantage on goals. But it went to a shootout and the Nooks won. I think the Brice Tourney was based on goal differential and we edged out UAA one year. But I have no idea what the rules are this weekend.

Should be a good series. Both teams have a lot to play for, finally.

Thanks. I thought a series was decided by goals one year at the Sully? Maybe not.

Edit: According to the presser from UAA:

The series is tied 1-1 and if the season series ends in a tie, a three round shootout will decide the winner.

Your up four on Ferris. How about we beat the crap out of you tonight and wait until tomorrow to see if you need our help. Then we'll talk about it...

Approximate Transcript
"Our mascots here at the University of Alaska, we have the great Seawolf here at UAA, and you know some folks up in Fairbanks ask the rhetorical question, "what is a Seawolf?" Well there are Seawolves, darn it! And if you look it up, they are pretty amazing. These are wolves in the North coast who actually get in the water, swim underwater,and actually catch salmon. So pretty impressive."

Although known as Gonakadet in the Tlingit tradition and Wasco by the Haida, this formidable creature was commonly referred to as the ‘Sea-Wolf.’ Among the most common fables was a version in which a noble young man, resilient in nature, uses his ingenuity to conquer the Sea-Wolf. Clad in the animal’s skin, he uses its strength and magical powers to fish for sea life, thereby saving his village from starvation.
Simultaneously strong, generous and humble, the Sea-Wolf was also said to bring great luck and wealth to anyone fortunate enough to spy it, or hear its soulful howl. The name fit perfectly with UAA and the image it wished to portray.

Smh......

The pressure is off UAA. LSSU Is up 5-0 late in the game at Ferris.

Congrats on the playoffs, UAA. Well deserved and glad you are back in.

Now, if you could just roll over this weekend so that Bowling Green has to spend spring break in Fairbanks we would appreciate it!

I would like nothing more than for UA_ to host AND sweep a home playoff series. But not at the cost of a win against UAA.
