Hey...we scored 3 PPGS this weekend. That means ANYTHING is possible!

It's possible but not probable. It was a terrific effort all weekend long! I just hope they don't fall apart next weekend like they did on their last 2 week road trip.

David, you were really missed. The Lakers guy wasn't terrible, but he sure didn't let us UAA fans know who scored and who had assists for UAA. And my screen was a bit dark for much of the game, so it was really hard to see the numbers on the players backs. Glad you will be there next weekend!

What WAS very encouraging was how hard the team played tonight. They came out gang busters, and were shooting from everywhere. Azurdia and Kozun both missed wide open nets. That was a game we should have won. The effort was sure there!

It was great to see them crawl out of a hole...down 2-0, 3-2 and 4-3. We should've won but 4 out of 6 is better than 3 out of 6. I can't wait to be back calling our games!

Only 4 points behind FBX and Huntsville. We're not done yet. I think they proved quite a bit tonight in just getting a point. Yeah, it was a crappy end but a 4 point weekend is repeatable next weekend.

The problem is UAA has to make up a lot of ground (5) on 2 of 4 teams while playing two games on the road, at the end of a two week road trip and in a building they don't play well in, and two against the arch rival. The odds on that alone are not good. Couple that with the fact that they've lost the tiebreaker to two of those teams? That's very long odds. That point they lost cost them big.

Have a feeling things won't be settled until our last game, and we are ****ing due god****it.


It's been so long since we won the Governor's Cup I'd rather us beat UA_ on our home ice in a shootout then have us play Bemidji and possibly get swept.

Doyle's latest article, and for once it's not all doom and gloom. https://www.adn.com/sports/uaa-athl...-short-on-time-in-hunt-for-wcha-playoff-spot/

He mentions our latest recruit, Jordan Xavier of the AJHL. He has 23 goals and 27 assists in 49 games this season. He sounds solid. He led the Viterra Cup Standings for October, November, and December and got edged out for January by 5 points, so he's in second at the moment. I didn't know what the Viterra Cup Standings was, so I looked it up:

Each of the 480 AJHL regular season games conclude with the Viterra AJHL Star of the Game Award, which recognizes a player from each team deemed to be that night's top player.* Every time a player is recognized as a Viterra Star of the Game they receive 5 points in the Viterra Star of the Game Standings. Brooks Bandits forward, Austin Plevy, captured the 2015 Viterra Cup with 14 Viterra Star of the Game awards and 70 points.

I'm also jazzed about Eric Sinclair, who is a defenseman with 16 goals and 30 assists!

The other team's broadcast isn't focused on your team. And if you're watching on WCHA TV, then you have access to the live box score.

Then I guess I have been really spoiled by the excellent coverage of BOTH teams that the UAA announcers (Tuttle & Haider) give, have given us.

Looking at things, best case (realistic) scenario is UAA gets 3 points and either LSSU or UAF sweeps, better if LSSU sweeps.
 
What's happening on the island of misfit children? #54 UAA vs #52 Ferris State? Is everyone fighting over the same bullet and noose trying to get this season to end?

Wow. It will be interesting to see if they move out of Alaska. I still miss the Avs, who left Palmer for the lower 48.

Tough game for the Seawolves tonight. Clearly, they missed Jackstadt and Mitchell, who have the flu - but the announcer said that other UAA players were playing sick. Great effort in the first, but I think they simply ran out of energy. It sucks they had to get the flu. Get better guys!!

If the Aces do hang it up it would be nice to see another Junior A team set up shop in Anchorage or the Valley. There's a market for it.
 
Re: UAA `16-17 Let's end this thing with a BANG

So a UAA loss and wins by LSSU and NMU tomorrow mean UAA is out.

Even at this point it's realistically looking like they have to win all three games to be in.

And frankly I don't think this team is capable of that.
 
Re: UAA `16-17 Let's end this thing with a BANG

It used to be that the lineup for both teams, posted by UAA Hockey, could be found on Twitter.
Yesterdays UAA Hockey's Twitter post showed:
28-17-18
27-11-21
10-25-20
13-12-16

2-3
7-6
37-4

And nothing for Ferris.

Where can I find a "lineup sheet" with names included for todays game?
Thanks for any help?

Oh no, whose D is Doyle gonna nob on?


Might bring the demise of Bob and Chad, I can just hear Bob ranting and raving.


Prices for Seawolves games will climb, even if a new team comes in. SMG or whoever is losing a valuable long (talking the length of the ECHL season) tenured revenue source.

Maybe if our elected officials would get their right thumbs out of their own bums, and their left thumbs out of whoever's sad bum, this could've been avoided.
