Eusko was a math major

and a darn good one IIRC. Made a trip to a national competition somewhere, maybe New Orleans?

Correct. Excellent student and a good guy. Like a number of NU goalies had a weaker senior season than his Junior season. Only one I recall who didn't was Klinger

Re: Redemption....Ground Hog Day

Going forward, it is nice to wish that Klinger were here. But, hey, so long as we are beefing up the perception that we need help to match Testa & Company…let’s add some wishful additions to offense by tossing in Accoin andMcClean.

Nice thought but I do worry that some folks—including any player reading all fan these remarks—might get the impression that Cadets fans somehow think that our goalies (with a combined 23-3-1 record) are somehow not up to snuff to “beat those guys.”

As for Babson’s goalie Zeke Testa—we have all acknowledged that he has been great but how about just adding…”so far..so good”. He is not Darth Vader, the Joker or the Boogey Man and he can be beaten by…even by mere mortals. In fact, his life-time record at Babson is 26-29-10. (.477). Not much to write home about, eh? Me? I bet the percentages, career performance consistency and playoff experience.

Over the last three years that our current crop of goalies have been around--Czarnota’s record is 20-2-2 (.893), Marinsek’s record is 9-2-0 (.818) and Parker Carroll’s record is 32-3-3 (.882). They also have been to the NCAA dance three times. Meanwhile, over those same three years, Babson’s Zeke Testa record is 18-21-8. So far in NCAA play he is 1-0. Still not much to brag on but he is more consistent...so far.

Hey we know Babson has developed into a great club built around a core of five Seniors including Testa. And Zeke is very good, e.g. ”so far..so good.” But lets also stick with all the folks that brought us to this party. We can "beat those guys" with the team we have. It will be a great game! Roll on Cadets!

Just have to remember that 50+second spot on a Friday night where he let everything in, and build on that.

Re: Redemption....Ground Hog Day

Absolutely. They will need to hustle and hopefully score early and often. It should be a great game and I am looking forward to it.

If the motivation of revenge for last week and the desire for the seniors to go out on top are not enough to beat Babson, I'll be very surprised.

Now to me the question of the week becomes, who does Norwich start in goal?

We have three great goal goaltenders. Parker is the only one that has shutout Babson this year. Maybe its time to let him out of the doghouse?

Re: Redemption....Ground Hog Day

Redemption, or Bad News Bears? I love Groundhog Day, and wouldn't mind seeing it again on Saturday night. And if we're calling up ghosts of players past, I'll bring back PT's father Paul and Tommy Sasso, the only (?) player to win the college division Hobey Baker award twice. They would make Swiss cheese of whoever you put in goal. This is Norwich's NC game - I don't see anybody else beating them. Babson, on the other hand, I don't see beating anybody but Norwich. What a great game to be able to see. I am so jealous of all of you who are going.

Go Babo!

If you want Redemption, follow Hawk, he knows all the places that pay 6 cents for bottles & cans.

Come on Norm, Plattsburgh fans shouldn't be piling on hawk - that's our job.

Hawk is a blight to any sports fan, if you can make a realistic wager and can't honor it, you simply have no honor.

That's my guess, but I agree all three are very good. IMO Czarnota is a small step ahead of the other two most nights, but they are all top shelf. Having the three of them clawing for starts is a nice problem to have.

Now the defense just needs to do its normal solid job and the forwards just need to blast past the Babson defense put a few past Testa.

Re: Redemption....Ground Hog Day

One of my best hockey memories ever was that final in Lake Placid in 2010. B. J. O' Brien and Klinger. Both goalies were just in the zone.

Second only to a gold medal game in the same building
