SLU Hockey 2011-2012

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012

Guys,

Marsh is feeling better but said he wouldn't return until he was 100 percent. He didn't set a timetable for his return. Personally, and this is pure speculation on my part, I project a second-semester return. He'll let the team stay as-is through the December break and come back in January.

Here is the story I did for this week. The bit about Marsh is at the end:

I just wanted to point out that last year we were 0-4-3 before we got our first win against Cornell at home to start the year. You had it listed as 0-3-3.

[Goals For Good]

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012

Hello fans of St. Lawrence Hockey-

I just wanted to quickly touch base with you in regards to the Goals For Good project. In short, it's a competitive goal-a-thon between every team in the ECAC, and every team has partnered with a charity in close relation to their team, school, and or community. We're currently looking for more prizes, but as of now, there is $1,000 on the line going to the local food cupboard of the team that raises the most money. Please check out www.goalsforgood.org to learn more and support your team and their charity by way of their goals and wins.

Thank you,
Kevin McNamara

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012

Is ECAC officiating this bad all the time? All games at Appleton have been brutal. One of the linesman (tall thin guy) on Friday night could barely skate. Saints looked good last weekend, much more disciplined! Very encouraged that 4 of the 5 losses against very good competition-top Ten ranked teams - #4, #8 and #9. Need to get more scoring from all lines and the power play and SLU could surprise some people.

Welcome to the ECAC officiating. We promise nothing other than inconsistency, at best.

It isn't common, by any means, to see a WELL officiated game. That said, I have seen games that I walked away from thinking that it was a good job, not great. I'm a little bit more lenient than most, since I officiated hockey and understand just how hard it can be at times to see everything, we're spoiled up in the seats.

I believe the Rapture occurred at 00:49 of the third period in Princeton, NJ.

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012

Nice win by the Saints. Sounds like it got a little tense in the third but we hung on. I took in the Clarkson v. Quinnipiac game tonight to check both teams out prior to going to tomorrow nights game. Karpowich played out of his mind tonight and put up one of the better goal tending performances I have seen in awhile. I was not impressed with Clarkson at all. I'm not sure if I caught them on a bad night, but they got outshot 44-11 and looked very out of sync. Bad passing and very, very chippy play. Tambelyn especially was hitting a lot after the whistle and in one sequence really mugged a Q player who was down on the ice along the boards. He only got two minutes but I thought he deserved a lot more. As usual the officiating was very questionable. They swallowed their whistles quite a bit towards the end and then inexplicably called a minor on Clarkson with 2:01 to go after letting much worse go.

Q Pac has some very talented players and appears to be pretty deep. I think we will have our hands full tomorrow night. The Jones brothers are very talented passers (and also very chippy) and the new freshman Peca is pretty impressive as well. If we play like we have the last three we should be in it and have a chance. I just hope all those goals Quinny didn't score tonight against Karpowich don't go in tomorrow afternoon.

Anyone else going to the game tomorrow afternoon?

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012

Last night was a nice win for the guys for sure. We needed that one, but I have a feeling this afternoons game will be much more difficult. Quinnipiac really took it to Clarkson and as critsports mentioned they outshot Clarkson 44-11. Karpowich was a beast last night! Clarkson was missing there two best offensive players in Oakley and Sexton so that could have something to do with it. Let's hope we continue the good efforts we have put forth in the previous three games. A win tonight would make for a great start to the league season. Here's hoping!

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012

1-0 OT win in Hamden, gonna make for a much, much better trip back home for the boys for sure. Excellent road sweep, and Weninger is clearly on his game lately, and it appears the defensive systems are starting to take hold. Gotta think Wenny will be in the running for GOTW, with the shutout and 2 wins.

T-1st after the 2nd weekend. This is me laughing at everybody who wrote SLU off for an 0-___ season after our "preseason" games.

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012

Had my first chance to see the Saints in person this afternoon and what a pleasant surprise.
I knew this would be a tough game and it was. Quinny gave us all we could handle but the boys played well, stood tall, had a lot of composure and blocked a ton of shots. I was really pleased to see the effort from the start to finish.
It was nice to see all the freshman play for the first time and we have a nice crop of newcomers. Again we are deep and I would imagine there is pressure to crack the lineup as some good players are not dressing.

Flanny's game winner in OT was all him. He had a shot, the rebound came to him, he went around the net and stuffed it just before Hartzell got back. They reviewed the goal which made for some anxious moments!!!!

What a great weekend.....four points on the road when I thought 1-2 points would have been a decent result. Way to go boys!!!

Let's Go Saints!!!

Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012

Congrats to the coaches and players on the weekend sweep! Sounds like the team is on the right track. Looking forward to watching them over in Lake Placid in a few weeks.
