    How did Bartell look, I see he got a goal and a penalty in his first game Saturday !
    It all starts with the goaltending.

      Bartell played pretty well for it being his first game. I also base this on the fact that I don't remember using his name in vain at any time during the game.

        Now I remember this kid from local HS hockey; he was the best player on some very good recent RFA teams.

        Kinda surprised that he cracked the line-up, though. Even at the D-3 level, very few guys seem to bypass the Juniors or a prep school at the very least. (He looked OK out there, though, and I'm rooting for him.)

          He went to Northwood prep and played for the Walpole Express last year.(EHL)

              Thanks, forgot that he left RFA early... (Hell, I have forgotten what I had for breakfast, come to think of it.)

              So Trinity has some very impressive numbers in terms of GPG and save %. It's hard to gauge the quality of their competition from here, but a prospective UC win tomorrow stands to look pretty good down the road. The gimmicky TBT is a momentum-assassin, but at least it guarantees a big crowd, even if many of them leave right after they hurl the toys.

                What a letdown though, what the hell was Gary thinking? The Teddy Bear Toss is always on a Saturday. Why schedule it against the Cocks Bantams from Trinity on Friday?
                This young man has had a very trying rookie season, what with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, well... I guess that's more than most 21-year-olds can handle. Number six, Ogie Oglethorpe.

                      What a game!

                      Trinity is a veteran team with speed, hands and depth. Based on a very small sample-size, I thought they looked even better and deeper than Oswego.( And Heilbron showed why his season save% is north of .940... Did he EVER lose sight of the puck, even once?)

                      UC was a bit on it's heels early, but staged a tremendous push-back in the late-2nd and the 3rd. Three Grade-A's while killing the major was something to see. The game easily could have gone either way yet again, but it didn't. Utica missed a couple of open nets, hit a post, etc., and, as mentioned, Heilbron was brilliant.

                      Still, a great game to watch. Wells was really sharp and the guys in front of him played balls-out once they got into the flow. I'm not much into the concepts of "good losses" or "moral victories", but I wouldn't be surprised if UC actually took some momentum away from this game. Guess we'll see tonight.

                      And as far as the TBT..? What a fiasco. Would not be shocked if the W steps in and puts an end to it. I don't grasp why anyone thinks it's a good idea to allow people to throw s### on the ice under any circumstances, and last night illustrated that one just can't assume that 3,000 people with a license to do so are necessarily going to wait for the proscribed moment to let fly. I say collect them at the door or just wait for the game to be over.

                        Excellent game. Trinity's defensive scheme was textbook; stood UC up at the blueline, drove UC rushes towards the boards, and Heilbron stonewalled anything that got close. Pressure of the TBT was evident; sloppy passes, fanned shots, the players were obviously pressing to get the TB goal out of the way and on to the game but it wasn't meant to be.

                          Note Morrisville took 5 for 21 and Utica 4 for 8, both teams each scored 1 PPG.

                            OK, at .500 at the break... Not exactly what I'd hoped-for, but the ship seems to have been righted now, after enduring some sub-par goal-tending in the early going. (Speaking of, Wells has proven himself to be the clear #1 IMO, even if he got a brief case of the yips tonight after being victimized by that bad-bounce on a 3 on 1 early in the 3rd.)

                            The forwards continue to fly, and the D hasn't made me groan aloud all year long, which is a stunning development in recent years. And all that considering that Morrisville played a good game.

                            Call me Pollyanna, but I won't be shocked to see this team continue on their run, and maybe even garner home-ice in the W playoffs. From there, who knows what can happen. The very talented Freshman class is growing-up right before our eyes.

                            We're going to Plattsburgh for the NY's tourney if the weather doesn't preclude that trip. I'm not predicting anything there, but a couple of wins -if that happens- will turn this entire season around. I'm certainly not ruling-out that possibility.

                              There's something about a Matthew BEER scoring a goal in the Aud that just seems to make life better...

                                They had to be counting the minutes once the Beer run started, adding an assist too.
