Re: St Lawrence Hockey

I would say that a split on the weekend is alright for the opening weekend. a few points though. 1) continued missed defensive assignments in their owm zone has to stop. It has been a rather constant presence for St.Lawrene for the past several years. That where practice comes in. I have always believed that you play as well as you practice. when I have watched their pre game skate,I do not always see intensity or passion. 2) face offs,last several years not terribly strong,has to get better. 3) most of their offense comes from the point,always wide,never anyone in front or in the slot,point men hesitant to shoot. Positives are many, they are off to a good start. I like chemistry of this team and think that they are going to be the suprise team this year. martin is going to be a monster this year. got to get the second and third lines going.

Another player, Mike Marnell of Des Moines in the USHL, has committed to SLU for 2014. The announcement is below:


Marnell Commits to St. Lawrence

By Scott Montesano

Urbandale (IA) The Des Moines Buccaneers are proud to announce that rookie forward Mike Marnell has committed to St. Lawrence University beginning with the 2014-2015 season.

Marnell, 17, is in his first season in the United States Hockey League after previously playing for the Long Island Royals midget program. Through his first six games with the Buccaneers he has one goal and one assist.

"Michael has stepped in a contributed right away" said Bucs' head coach and general manager Jon Rogger. "He is a hard worker both on and off the ice and has a bright future ahead of him."

He is a native of Huntington Station, NY, located on Long Island, but will be attending school along the Canadian border in Northern New York when he joins the Saints.

St. Lawrence is a Division I program located in Canton, NY and plays in the Eastern Collegiate Hockey Conference (ECAC). Greg Carvel is in his first year as head coach for the Saints and is looking to bring the program back to being a regular conference contender and NCAA Tournament participant. From 1982-1983 until 2006-2007 the program made nine tournaments but hasn’t been back since.

Des Moines is coming off a perfect weekend in which they defeated Omaha and Muskegon at home. The Buccaneers are home again Friday at 7pm against Team USA (U-17) and it’s the first Miller Lite $1.50 Beer Night presented by Lazer 103.3. All guests 21 & over will be able to enjoy discounted Miller Lite during the game.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Wow. Another win, 2 more PP goals, five different scorers, none of them named Flanagan or Carey.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Nice win by the boys tonight. Special teams have been impressive so far this year both on the PP and on the kill. We didn't get a lot of shots on goal tonight but boy did we take advantage of the one's we did scoring on about 20% of our shots. Nice win.....here's hoping they can do the same tomorrow night. Good Luck boys, let's get another W on Saturday.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Great win by SLU. All the ****ing and moaning over on the Maine thread. Nothing about how good SLU played only about how it's Whiteheads fault. How can they lose to an EZAC team. Well EZAC > Hokey Least last night in Orono .

Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Carey and Flanigan are studs. St. Lawrence was better and faster all around and certainly better coached.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Great job Saints! A HE win is always sweeter ( as is cornell) Makes up for the drubbing we took in Portland a few years back. Good luck tonight, keep up the intensity.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Interesting...SLU is 5-0-1 in their last 6 vs. HE opponents.

I read the Maine thread before this one and you'd think the world is coming to an end by some of the comments there. Sounds like many posting there expect the Black Bears to go undefeated and win the NCAA'$ each year. That's sad.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Muskieman no but four no shows in a row at NCAA tournament after a run of a bunch in a row with multiple frozen four trips is unacceptable.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Flanagan currently leads the nation in scoring!!! Carey is tied for second!!

Re: St Lawrence Hockey

SLU wins again 5-1. Overall, we outscored Maine 10-1. Great job Saints!

Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Incredible to sweep Maine at home! Wow....speechless. Coach Carvel is something special here.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Saints give me a great 60th (ouch!) birthday present tonight with the sweep of Maine. Weninger was the main(e) reason we won tonight ............he stood on his head. And, Flanagan with a 6 point weekend. Incredible.
