Anchorage is probably one of the worst 3-4 teams in the country. Should be 2 easy wins...Anchorage is very weak defensively...next to zero puck skills...they'll struggle with our forecheck. 5-1, 4-1 in no particular order

You have no clue about the history of BG hockey playing "horrible" teams that should be "easy wins."

End of the first, tied adat 1. Shots showing tied at 8. Wasn't that even of a period as Anchorage controlled the majority of the first.

Going to 3 on 3 OT. So much for "easy wins."

McLain with the "winner" in the 3 on 3.

That is a really bad "tie".....Wouldn't be that big a deal if we got off to a decent start on the year...gotta beat bad teams and Anchorage is bad.

Exactly. I was worried about tonight's game. We've been doing well and UAA has not won a league game. A desperate team is a dangerous team if we take them lightly. Glad we were able to get the 2 points, though we should have had 3. I doubt if tomorrow will be any easier.

I blame Crazy Frank Anzalone's being in the house.

Play 65 minutes of hockey without losing= 1 point
Win a skills completion that lasts less than 5 minutes= 1 point
What a bunch of nonsense. Stupid NHL.

Three-on-three is an actual scenario that can exist during a hockey game where teams are forced to play offense and defense. It is far from a skills competition.

I thought we did an outstanding job of playing down to the level of the competition.
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

Defensively, they played like a team that knows they have a horrible penalty kill.
I really hope Bednard gets the start tonight. Nothing against Nell, he's been playing great. But you have to develop another goalie, just in case. It'd shake up the team defense a little bit, which wouldn't be a bad thing.
Will there be 6 healthy D-men tonight?

Defense? The whole reason it's in overtime is for someone to score easily, not to emulate an actual scenario. It's a cheap gimmick that exists solely for fan entertainment.
