@ UAH (2/28-29)

[TommyG]

What I meant was all we need is one of the games to end in a tie.

Ohhhhh, you're right. A tie prevents them from getting 6 points.

We also would love to see NMU get 1 point or less...

I would prefer not to finish third or the village idiot will parade around these boards in his tighty whities screaming at the top of his fingers.

Edit. Not that it matters, I have him on block anyway...

Yeah I’m the village idiot.

Read how stupid that paragraph is....pot meet kettle.

Alaska won, 5-2.

We need to win our game and have one of the following happen to get home ice:

1. NMU loses or ties and loses in 2OT/shootout.
2. Fairbanks gets anything less than a win.

We lose both tiebreakers, so we need help tonight.

50+ shots on goal from outside the faceoff dots. Impressive in number only. Where did Huntsville score their goals from? Top of the crease. Those long shots with no traffic makes games tolerable for goaltenders.

[mbenecke]

BG leads 1-0 after the first. Craggs was called for a penalty right at the end of the period, and he’s been ejected, so we’ll be on the kill for 5 to start the 2nd period.

[BG84]

We should be killing these chumps, but not literally, Craggs.

[mbenecke]

End of 2, BG is up 3-1.

[mbenecke]

Falcons win, 4-1!

Updated top 6 in the current (up to the minute) WCHA Standings:
1. Mankato 68
2. Bemidji 65
3. Bowling Green 49
4. Northern Michigan 47
5. Alaska 46
6. Tech 44

[unfalconbelievable]

Tech just tied the game at 2 with just under 5 left.

Would be nice to see Tech win so we don't all have to stay up till 1:30am hope for a miracle with anchorage to pull out a W

[unfalconbelievable]

Northern just scored with 39 seconds left.

So late night it is.....hoping Anchorage can pull off a miracle, otherwise we're at Alaska next weekend

[mbenecke]

Our first round opponent will be Fairbanks... now, will it be here or there?

Rooting hard for the Seawolves tonight.

[unfalconbelievable]

Here is how bad bad-losses have hurt us in the pairwise.

Change three bad results in the pairwise.
RIT OT Loss
Miami Loss
Alabama Tie

Those three games end up W's. We are 13th in the pairwise and looking at getting in back-back years. I always like going in to play the what "if" on the pairwise chart. Those three we should have had but consistency or not showing up ready to play those nights may have cost us not only home ice but an NCAA bid.

[mbenecke]

We’ll go on the road to Fairbanks for Round 1.

We did just about everything we could do down the stretch to secure home ice and we ended up dropping a tiebreaker that has nothing to do with head to head. It sucks, but whatever. We’re going to go on the road and fight our way through it.

We’re riding an 8-game unbeaten streak. Time to extend it.

Everything except win the games needed.

[mbenecke]

We got 21 of a possible 24 points in the last 4 series. We can’t act like we’ve been terrible this last month. We just dug a hole a little bit too deep.

I have all the confidence in the world that we’re going to go on the road and win this series.

Both games at Fairbanks were 2-0 at the end of the first period, with the second behind 3-0 halfway through the second period. Finishing off one of those games would have given the extra point needed. Now, they get to make their 3rd trip to Alaska for the season.
