          Perhaps he thought it didn't matter after the penalties to Buff St. and Geneseo were handed down and now does based on Morrisville being eligible.

          No doubt you are correct, but everything is amplified down the stretch.

            Ok ok....I phrased that incorrectly......

            I had just learned about Morrisville's eligibilty for playoffs. Yes you are correct when you state points in Oct or Feb.....

              Before any asks about tonight's game........yes it was an impact.

              Morrisville is a hard nosed team and a steady goaltender. I will not post anything further, until I collect my thoughts and not post profanity.

                Boy this going to come off as sour grapes but I can only post from what I have seen.
                I am not taking anything away from Morrisville, they have a solid team and what not.
                I question the SUNYAC scheduling for this reason.......
                Why did Potsdam have to face Morrisville the first night during the season? There are distinct advantages to playing against a team on their second night of a two game weekend when you are fresh.
                This is the second year in a row for Potsdam to face Morrisville on the first night.

                  This is interesting. Looking back at the last two years, it does seem Morrisville has a higher winning percentage on Friday than Saturday of weekends with two games. I was set to come here the thread and blast this point, but with teams playing Morrisville only facing one opponent each week, there is likely something to be said for flipping Friday and Saturday games for fairness.

                    Potsdam (4-8-1 - 8-11-2 overall), IMO has exceeded expectations, having undergone significant coaching changes and uncertainties in the past few years. Their ties against Plattsburgh & Norwich, while not wins, are nevertheless are impressive indeed, and their wins over Utica, Neumann and Skidmore are nice too. Sophomore goaltender, Trevor O'Neill over 16 games has faced 468 shots, stopping 409 of them resulting in a save percentage of .874. While freshman goaltender Andy Groulx has seen 6 games and faced 165 shots, stopping 148 for a save percentage of .897. All this while facing primarily teams of the SUNYAC & ECAC-W. With only 2 seniors on their roster and their leading goal scorer, sophomore Todd Hosmer (12 goals, 15 assists, 27 points), IMO they are well posed to return next season and make a statement in the SUNYAC.

                      Morrisville's win against Elmira came on a Friday night. The next night it was a 6-2 or 8-2 drubbing i believe in Morrisville.

                        I thought Potsdam was on the brink of a special season but since they pulled off the upset and appeared to overachieve during the New Years Tournament at Norwich. Potty is litterally going down the toilet city. I predicted they would be a Dark Horse but something is going on over there because they don't seem to be the same hungry team since the upset of Norwich. Nothing to take away from Morrisville but it almost seems again like they take this team lightly and didn't learn from the first time that they beat Potsdam this year that they are not the same easy W as in the past. Mo'ville with a little luck could leap frog in front of P-Dam and C-land and claim the 5th spot since it seems like the Bears don't want it plus now own head to head over Potsdam if it comes down to a tie breaker. SUNYAC drama you gotta love it all over two schools who have been giving financial aid to Canadian Students for years become ineligible and yet the private schools that give a $40,000 scholarship/but really financial aid or is it scholarship so that the kid has to pay less than what it costs to go to a state school continue to get away with buying their teams. Poor Joe Public gets screwed again!

                          Potsdam is having trouble putting the puck in the net lately.

                              While there may be a some merit to your arguement, you're still grasping at straws. Your main competition in the league this year (Brockport, Cortland, Buff State) has the same scheduling in regards to Morrisville as Potsdam. The difference is somehow these teams have all managed to beat the Ponies. The issue here is not whether some teams in the league get an advantage playing the 2nd night, but whether or not Potsdam or Morrisville had an advantage due to scheduling against each other. The answer to that would be a big no as both teams had 6 days rest before this game. How does it get any more fair than that?

                                I don't see myself as "grasping at straws" here. Your 6 day arguement is correct, however how about Plattsburgh having 7 days rest to face Morrisville. I don't blame the teams, I find fault with the scheduling.
                                Regardless, the sun still came up today.
