Have fairbanks fans really come to that?

A team that played like they really were the number 2 team in the country. The interesting thing is, now that we know what we are capable of, the 'Nooks need to find their stride and not play down to their opponents. Canisius showed them that. You look at any of the top teams in the country in nearly every sport, and even if their up by 100, they're still hungry to score. Even when ACC was getting pasted, on the occasion North Dakota was penalized, their guys in the box were still disciplined, and their head was still in it. "We still have to be defensive, anything can happen in hockey. As soon as you let them have one, it can be over like that.". That same mentality needs to be in our guys, so when you're up a goal or two you can't be content. You have to stay hungry to score and steadfast on defense to earn the win.<br /><br />Taking nothing away from North Dakota, they played a very good game. Had a lot of things going for them at times, but the Nanooks wanted that victory more than they did.<br /><br />But North Dakota did whip ACC so badly that they knocked them out and left them in front of their dorm rooms...

This wasn't our "national championship" game; it was an early season game against a strong opponent that almost nobody outside the locker room expected to win. We'll save the "national championship" games for next weekend, when we visit the team that actually played for it last year.

I understand this was your national championship game and the kids played hard. The Sioux were tired, short handed and played very, very poorly and yet lost only 2-1. As it sometimes goes, the best team doesn't win all the time.

A year ago, we would not have won these types of games on either night. While it's definitely early in the season, we've shown some spine that wasn't always there last year or even the year before. <br /><br />Proud of them...go NOOKS.
