LIVE FROM PEGULA... Thursday night vs. Alaska

[PA_JOE]

Let’s go PSU... let’s show these Eskimo bastards how we roll in the lower 48!!!

Already up to #9 in the polls. Got to make good on these early season gimmes.

30 seconds in Freshman Tyler Gratton tips in the first goal of his career off a shot from the point by Kris Myllari. 1-0 Lions. I may not be able to keep up with the tally sheet tonight, this has the makings of a 9 or 10 goal outburst.

Aarne Talvitie on an unbelievable pass through the legs by freshman Conner McEachran. The Finish flag waves over the student section. 2-0 Lions with just under 12 minutes left in the first period.

Liam Folkes on the breakaway 3-0 PSU halfway through the first period trickles one through. It took a lengthy officials review (which we should always be wary of in any sport) but it’s a GOOOOOOQAAALLLLL!

Paul Denaples blasts a low slap shot into the corner with 7 minutes to go in the first period. 4-0 and a goalie change as the students relentlessly ride the departing net minder.

No scoring in the second period - still 4-0 PSU. Nothin notable but a little disappointing again that we came up with a lackluster second period after playing so well in the first. As in the past this team appears to think they can turn it on and off when they want to. Fun when they’re on, not so much otherwise.

Isn’t the Alaska team named the Nanooks?

Because that’s what my UAF T-shirt says.

 

[PA_JOE]

Correct it is the Nanooks and Brandon Biro just fired a slap shot past the Nanookie goaltender for the 5-0 lead followed immediately by Nikita Pavlachev smashing one in from in front of the net for a 6-0 lead. There’s that on - off switch thing again.

Dennis Smirnov blasts the slap shot past the goalie for the 7-0 lead on the McClanhans Power Play. FREE SUBS for the couple hundred people still left in the arena.

This team seems like it will go as far as Peyton Jones can take them. The offense is there but the defensive lapses are still too frequent. If Jones bails them out more often than not, this team could make some noise.

That's the way I see it too. We left tonight when it was 6-0. Not long before we left they had one of those defensive lapses, and the Nanooks clanged one off the post on a shorthanded breakaway. It's just too common.

It would be a long bus ride home for the Nanooks.

Fortunately, light traffic.

The Nanooks have a lot of Europeans on their roster, with a number of them from Latvia. They must have interesting recruiting trips.

With that drive I hope they have other songs to sing besides 99 Bottles of Beer.

They're the ones that need a Smirnov on their team

As Zappa sang, “Nanook rubs it”.

That’s world-class.
