    Yeah, it's still early but I am happy with the effort being put out there by the team. Considering we've played the #1 and #2 teams in the Pairwise and kept the games relatively close aside from a crappy 3rd period this Friday, I expect we start to see the positive results they've been working towards. (Hopefully this week against UAA!)
    In all fairness, I highly doubt Air Force is going to be #2 at the end of the season when it counts. But it underscores just how huge getting a win over either of those teams would have been, not just for us but for the WCHA.

      Was good to see forwards scoring. Really like Hoper, Janny and Herdt's play especially on Saturday night. Team battled hard. Was resilient despite being the "lesser" team per TV announcers. Liked the physical play. Would like to see more particularly as we match up against super skilled teams. All in all, respectable weekend. A win would have been icing on the cake. Came very close... just wasn't in the cards.

      If we can continue to elevate our play, I really like our chances in the conference.
      The “lesser team” comment was comical. Gotta love homer annnouncers on regional television.

        No kidding, thought was playing #9/12 was hot ****e. No, #1/2 is.
        Just to be clear. My disinterest in this team became of the Uni's disinterest. Without the success of the hockey team, the other teams would not be where they are. Way to pay back the hockey team. **** UAA.

The Air Force games were the types of games you just have to win when you’re playing at home. Against SCSU I think we actually did a good job forcing them to respond to our game, not the other way around, particularly on Saturday and in a tough road environment all weekend.

          Regarding Frye, it’s tough when the major misconducts happen because he is more of an impact player than Erickson was. It’s easy as a fan to say he should knock it off, but at this point my biggest concern with him is reputation penalties.

          The UAA games this weekend seem like a crapshoot...both of these teams are (or should be) desperate for a W.
          Watch us tie both games, since it's non-conference would it go to a shoot-out?

            I think it would be WCHA rules since both games are in WCHA venues. At least it was in the AF series...we “won” in double OT even though it was officially a tie for NCAA purposes.

              I'm pretty sure he's sitting anyway because in the 2nd game, they gave him a 10 minute game misconduct as well.

                This is purely conjecture on my part, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see DellaMaggiore start one of the games weekend. Martinsson has been better than his numbers might suggest, but it’s the last chance to get a look at Niko before conference play and coaches may decide they need a little extra spark.

                  It is still an important weekend with it being Gov Cup but I agree the spark may be needed. I would like to see Niko get a chance to show us what he's got though.

                    Usually hard boarding or checking from behind results in an automatic five-minute major penalty, a game misconduct, and the player being ejected from the game. A game misconduct does not result in the player missing the subsequent game. If severe enough the player can be assessed a game disqualification (DQ), resulting in the player being ejected from the game and suspended for one or more subsequent games.

                    I would not be surprised to see DellaMaggiore in net this weekend either. But I don't think the boys need a spark. We should have had done better against AF, and although we were the "lesser team" against SCSU, we put ourselves in position to get points and came away empty. The pairwise not only doesn't mean anything at this point, it is sooo misleading. It's like saying that the average daily temp for Fairbanks for the winter of 2017-18 is +42 degrees, on track track to break all time record highs. But then someone points out that it's only October. Bummer.

                    Mantha always makes it closer than it should be, but I think we take two this weekend. I don't think Lance despises UAA as much as Dallas, but most our boys return from last year and already have that hated rivalry thing figured out.

                    Go Nooks!

                          3 on 3 OT after the first OT. Whatever you want to call it.

                            UAF made the kind of hockey history on October 10th 2015 that no team wants to claim – the Nanooks became the first NCAA Division I victim of Arizona State.

                                I'm trying to help a friend track down a couple of jerseys. Does anyone have or know of a UAF Colton Parayko jersey that they might be interested in parting with?
