“All-in-all it’s a matter of winning the game and playing good defense, and when you keep your opponent to zero goals against, a coach has to be happy with the defensive part of the game,” Emery said.

Ducky Drake's FINAL season as the VOICE OF CARDINAL HOCKEY

I am missing him already.

For the most part, and especially since I have left the North Country, his voice has been my connection to Cardinal Hockey since 1980.

His "Stick a fork in them..." last night after the third goal brought back a lot of memories of his greatest calls. The one that is on top of the list I didn't hear live 'cause I was at the game, but it is my favorite, was of Daoust's goal to end the Middlebury streak.

Someone should name an award after him and give it to the best college hockey announcer in the nation each year - The Alan Drake award would of course be shortened to "The Ducky".

Yes, but I am thinking the player with the most game winning goals gets the Ducky Drake award - A fork trophy. Something like this with a Cardinal Puck.

Cardinals host Geneseo, Brockport at Stafford this weekend {Article courtesy of the Plattsburgh Press Republican 11/8/2013}

PLATTSBURGH — Geneseo upset Plattsburgh State last year, and the Cardinals haven’t forgotten about it.

Plattsburgh hosts the Knights for a SUNY Athletic Conference men’s hockey game tonight and then meets Brockport on Saturday.

The Knights scored in the final minute to defeat Plattsburgh in Geneseo last season, and while Plattsburgh beat them in the second meeting of the season, the loss still hurt.

“I guess you could say them beating us kind of put a damper on our whole NCAA tournament. We didn’t get in … and that could’ve been one of the main components,” Plattsburgh junior Mark Constantine said. “If we won that game, we might have got the vote and been in the NCAAs.

“So there’s a little redemption, and we’d like to get both games with them — definitely this one.”

Geneseo began the SUNYAC season last week with a pair of wins over Morrisville, outscoring the Mustangs 12-4. Freshman Stephen Collins had three goals and two assists on the weekend, while Justin Scharfe handed out four helpers and Ryan Stanimir and Tyler Brickler both scored twice.

“Genseo is always a team that scores a lot of goals,” Plattsburgh coach Bob Emery said. “But we want to be a team that focuses on defense first and lets our offense be gravy. And I think that’s our focus going into the weekend.

“Last year they had a real good power play and were able to score a lot of goals, so we gotta keep them off the board.”

Brockport has played two nonconference games so far, falling to Utica and Nazareth. The Golden Eagles open SUNYAC play today at Potsdam.

The Cardinals, who are ranked fourth in the USCHO.com Division III Men’s Poll, beat Potsdam 3-0 last week, and Emery said it was about what you’d expect from a season opener.

“We’re just basically trying to chip the rust off,” he said. “I think we played like a team that played their first game of the year. The thing is we made a lot of mistakes, but the fact is that’s the best way to learn — from mistakes. Hopefully we don’t make the same mistakes over and over again.”

Constantine said that in addition to defense, Plattsburgh worked on creating more scoring chances this week.

The Cardinals were picked first in the conference’s preseason poll, and Constantine said they have enough talent to be considered the frontrunners.

“If we play the way we’re capable of, yeah for sure,” he said. “We have a strong team. A lot of strong guys came back, good goaltending. And good freshmen. The lineup’s strong; anyone can play no matter what night it is.

“So if we play our game and we play right, we can definitely win it all. But it all comes down to how we play.”

Plattsburgh State skates past Geneseo in men's hockey {Article courtesy of the Plattsburgh Press Republican 11/9/2013}

PLATTSBURGH — As good a win as it was for the Plattsburgh State men’s hockey team Friday night, coach Bob Emery says his team still has a lot of work to do.

Defenseman Barry Roytman scored two goals and the Cardinals (2-0, 2-0) skated to a 4-1 victory over Geneseo (2-1, 2-1) in SUNY Athletic Conference action at the Stafford Ice Arena.

“We’re still a work in progress,” he said. “You want to stay positive as a coach, but you also want your team to correct its mistakes.

“Geneseo is a good team and they’re going to win a lot of games. It was a good win for us (Friday), but we need to get better.”

The Cardinals held a 35-24 shot advantage while scoring two power-play goals and one short-handed marker.

“We did a great job in our zone without the puck and we had good special teams play,” Emery said. “We also played smart with the lead in the third period, got the puck in deep and kept the clock running. And we made sacrifices with blocked shots.

“But we still need to do a better job breaking out of our zone. We are also making too many turnovers. We had a lot of turnovers in our win over Potsdam and had some more (Friday).”

It didn’t take Plattsburgh long to take the lead for good.

With the Cardinals skating a man up, Alex Jensen got the puck to Roytman, who sent a hard slap shot off the crossbar that deflected down and into the net 4:23 into the contest.

Plattsburgh then scored a key goal while skating down a man with 26 seconds remaining in the first. Jensen broke in and Geneseo goalie Nick Horrigan was able to make the initial save. But Michael Radisa followed up to score on the rebound.

“That was a great play by Alex,” Emery said.

The Cardinals came out strong to start the second period and grabbed a 3-0 advantage just 1:57 in when Kevin Emmerling stole the puck and went in on a breakaway to beat Horrigan between the pads.

That was it for Horrigan, who was replaced by Bryan Haude.

The Knights then got a glimmer of hope when Stephen Collins scored from inside the slot at 9:14 when the Cardinals couldn’t get the puck out of their end.

But that was the only goal scored against Mathieu Cadieux, who was once against solid in the Plattsburgh nets, stopping 23 of 24 shots.

“Our goalie gives us a chance to win,” Emery said.

Plattsburgh, however, regained its three-goal lead on Roytman’s second goal of the contest, which came at the 15:37 mark. It was the Cardinals’ second power-play goal of the night as Roytman found the net with another slap shot from the point.

Neither team was able to score in the third period.

Plattsburgh went 2-for-5 on the power play, while Geneseo was 0-for-7, including giving up a goal.

The Cardinals will look to make it a weekend sweep at home when they host The College at Brockport tonight at 7 p.m. The Golden Eagles tuned up for the game with a 6-3 win at Potsdam on Friday night.
