Hey Suze,

is CGI still webcasting the games??? if so, what is the link??? Thanks

stev

At game time, try one of the links below. MOST of the time GCI starts on time, but they have been known to take a smoke break right before the game.

I'm hoping the webcast will work. Also wishing I was in Anchorage this weekend for the hockey games and Dog sled race. Go Dogs!

Way to go Seawolves. Still don't know how that 3rd goal for UAA was waived off. I sit in the second row of the balcony, and everyone in our section (even a Minnesota fan) said it went in, hit the back of the net and came back out. I am recording the game now so I can watch it, as they didn't show the replay on the Sully Vision.

It was quite humorous how two fans threw water bottles on the ice when the ref waived it off. However, that kind of stuff can result in a penalty against the home team, so I hope it doesn't happen again.

The attendance was pathetic. Come on UAA, do something to get butts in the seats! Give out tickets to youth hockey groups, highschool teams, something. It is just sad. What happened to the Rock Band games?

Get the sweep Seawolves!!

Wonder where they got that idea from.

Congrats to the Seawolves on last night's win. It feels like the Seawolves have owned the Dogs for a while now. With last night's loss the Dogs drop to a tie for 18in the pairwise.... I think they were as high as 3 or 4 a couple of months ago. It's looking like they may need to win the Final Five to get into the tournament again.

Dogs are having problems scoring goals....hope that is corrected tonight.

Today's a great day for Dogs in Alaska.

On the webcast, they showed the replay twice in slow-mo from the overhead view. There was no doubt in my mind that the puck crossed the line by at least a couple inches, hit the inside of the goal and bounced out again. Why it was disallowed is beyond me.

When was this 3rd goal and why does it matter? You got your 3rd goal and won.

Take care of business tonight and send your seniors out with a bang, Seawolves.

I said in the scores and updates thread that it didn't matter after UAA got the late third goal. It could have mattered a great deal if that hadn't happened. After seeing WCHA officials disallow two goals Friday night that should have counted, I'm once again left wondering about the state of officiating in the league.

You and a lot of other WCHA fans. Most of our refs are not up to WCHA standards.

Did you notice the ref wasn't even going to review it? UAA had to fight to get the second look and that was just a cursory look at best.

Yes, I was amazed that they spent very little time reviewing it.

Compare that to this, another goal that, fortunately, didn't make any difference:

The puck was never frozen, which is why the ref in the best position to view the play never blew his whistle. He signaled a goal, then waived it off without reviewing the play. The official explanation was that the whistle had blown, even though nobody heard a whistle until after the puck was in the net.

At least the "I meant to blow my whistle" UND goal that was waived off against SCSU eariler this season made sense. The ref who failed to blow his whistle in that case immediately waived it off. But to watch the puck, not blow your whistle, signal a goal and then disallow it with no review by saying that you blew your whistle when you hadn't is total nonsense.

Just watched the replay in slow mo. I stopped our DVR when the puck was clearly several inches over the line. You can see white between the puck and the red line. No UAA player was near the blue ice.

That's what I saw. Unbelievable that it didn't count.

Re: Hitch up the sleds tDogs, its Iditarod time: tUMD v UAA

Very disappointing loss tonight. UAA was off kilter all night long, bad passes, no backchecking, poor goaltending, and the list goes on and on. Hopefully they can pull it together for the playoffs. Tonight they simply didn't look like they wanted it.
