 There are no easy games in the WCHA and all points are just as important. That's what the BSU men's hockey team will tell you, but a matchup against 1-12-1 Alaska Anchorage this weekend in the last series before the break, well that's an opportunity you just can't let slip away. An opportunity slipped away last weekend. The Beavers took a 2-1 lead into the third period against Alabama Huntsville, then gave up three unanswered goals for a 4-2 loss. The Chargers took advantage of the opportunities the Beavers gave them and the team says that can't happen again. When you have a lead going into the third period, you got to close the deal. You got to close the deal and we didn't close it last Saturday. We're typically a team that plays well with a lead. No, we, you know, it was a let down, but you got to move on and I've moved on. It took two days, but I've moved on and we got to worry about Anchorage right now. The Beavers have been shorthanded lately because of injuries and illness. Last Saturday they started 10 underclassmen and two defensemen forward. So the Beavers have had to epitomize a next man up mentality. We just need the right guys. We need guys who are willing to skate and willing to pressure even though we're hurt right now. I think we've been playing some decent hockey with the guys we've had in the lineup. Should be a winnable series. The Beavers swept Anchorage earlier this season and the Seawolves have scored just five goals in their 10 conference games this season.
