Uaa Vs Minnesota Jan 28-29

I'm looking forward to attending this series this weekend. I will be sporting my UAA jersey! :cool: (and maybe a sign if I get around to making one)

UAA fans (Alaska Hockey, perhaps?), can someone let Becky and Bruce know that I will be wearing the jersey they were kind enough to lend to me? I would call Becky myself, but I don't have her number since my phone died.

Let's go, Seawolves!! :D Maybe my second favorite team can pick up some points this weekend...

HEY SKEETERMAN!! :D

Yes, I still love you, MeanEgirl. My papal vision sees a UAA sweep in the offing.

IF MN can take at least 3 pts this weekend, I don't think they will need 8 wins of their last 12 games to secure home ice. My feeling is that with that leg up on UAA, they will only need to go 5-5 over those last 10 games for a 6th place finish.

SCSU is playing a hell of a lot better than how they started the year, but they are going to have a hard time gaining ground on anyone ahead of them given how brutal their remaining schedule is.
I've been saying since December, and my opinion hasn't changed, that CC is going to struggle down the stretch here.

Now if UAA gains ground on MN this weekend (as you alluded to), all bets are off. And really, squeaking into 6th place is an unsuccessful and unacceptable finish to the season for MN. As I previously stated, I think going 8-3-1 or 9-3 and finishing 5th has to be the difficult but attainable goal for the Gophers. But that means that this is a must-3pt (and nearly a must-sweep) weekend for MN. And I'll say it again, that's going to be a very tough task.

So I guess what I'm saying is, I agree. This is a huge weekend for both clubs. I doubt the fans at Mariucci will realize just how important this series is, and how much of a battle it should be. And I hope that lack of energy and buzz doesn't rub off on the Gophers.

I don't think .500 in the last 10 Gs is going to cut it to secure 6th for the Gophers and that translates into sitting out for the NCAAs as well. They NEED a sweep this weekend. A lot will depend on CC too. They've got a very tough schedule starting this weekend with UND ending with the series in Wisc., which could be very interesting in deciding home ice for 5th and 6th place.

Tech plays WI this week, so that's highly unlikely.

As for your favorite team, tUMD has the week off.

My favorite team has the week off :D

So Alaska Hockey wasn't joking when he said he was attending!

Someone else.



I know how to spell "dou che" but the above is a made up word, dude. I wasn't too concerned with spelling it correctly. ;)

Wow. Humorless much?

See ... um ... allow me to explain. USCHO censors the word. I initially went with the correct spelling (not to twist up your spelling panties) but instead because I have a bad habit of spelling correctly. Then I notice the censoring. So I used bolding to defeat the censorship. Then to ensure you didn't think I was twisting your spelling panties I used the word again in the very next sentence and spelled it exactly like you did.

Which Slap Shot cliche' would be more appropriate here? Should I say "Lighten up Francis" or ask about that "Chip on your shoulder"?
 
Re: Uaa Vs Minnesota Jan 28-29

Back on task here... another Jekyll & Hyde weekend for the Gophers? I think they'll protect the house on Friday and wet the bed with overconfidence on Saturday. Seawolves should be plenty rested and used to the time change by now, but Gophers have superior talent.
