I think Oswego is a dangerous team right now, they certainly have something to prove, and I'm SURE Gosek has been running them very hard in practice lately

Just as I attempted to post the other night, Oswego reminds me a lot of a Plattsburgh team a few years ago who also started 1-3-1. A team that was clearly better than their record was. While Oswego's record may be 1-3-1, this is NOT a sub .500 team. The first team that walks in thinking that will find themselves on the short end of the stick and probably embarrassed. WHEN Oswego decides to work hard, put forth the effort, and work hard they look like the Top 10 DIII team they are supposed to be. Unfortunately there is A LOT of talent on that team that doesn't always work as hard as they can/should. Losing to Plattsburgh is bad enough. At home, in overtime, blowing not 1 but 2 2-goal leads including 1 in the third....after all the build up that is a HUGE emotional let down. Then you get a frustrating Potsdam team the next night who you dominate from the drop of the puck but at the end of 20 minutes not only have you not scored, but now you're down by 1. Next thing you know you give up another "garbage" goal from Potsdam simply outworking Oswego, boom now you're down 2-0....and then you lose composure.

People might not like this answer, but I don't think "talent" is the issue. Someone(s) need to step up and become a leader on the ice and in the locker room. Sure I've seen Plattsburgh come from behind pretty much all season so far, but twice? In Oswego? I'd love to say Plattsburgh "won" that game, but I'm not so sure Oswego more "lost" that game. And then the next night to get frustrated against Postdam....seems more of a locker room leadership issue to me. Just as I said years ago with Plattsburgh, if they (Oswego now) were being outplayed and the talent wasn't there I'd be more concerned. Anyone who wants to see Oswego down the road, especially in the playoffs, needs their heads examined.

Good analysis R. Lot of truth here IMO. Leadership been a ? for awhile.
I for one think you should never lose a home game; when you are struggling, then a split or maybe a tie.
Don't ever remember OZ dropping a weekend series, does anyone? :(

Re: 2015-16 Oswego State Lakers Hockey #LakePlacidOrBust #NoMoreDrivesToAdrian #GoLak

The view on my screen was a team that was a bid rudderless. They seemed to not have a lot of focus. They need to get that together. Individually they seemed to have skills, but they weren't working together and that led to lots of problems. Your mileage may vary. Seems very odd not to see them up at the top of the SUNYAC standings.

I've been to all the games so far and that's the way I see it too. In need of "cohesion", rudderless. Lack of focus, exemplified by some very soft goals let in by more than one goalie. Each of the teams we've played were playing more as "teams", we have been playing like a collection of mostly very talented hockey players- but nothing more. First time I've seen an Oswego team like this in many years. As Coach Digby said after the Potsdam game- "It feels like the Twilight Zone" (insert TZ theme music here).

It is kind of crazy as they did have that seal training??? Perhaps they think the other guy will pick up the slack and there is noone to do it. I would think a embarrassing weekend like WASHOUT weekend will get the juices going ?? We had Titanic and then Gersakis as captains,they were both seniors,Rags is a Jr,but I think he has stepped up his game and will help the team out of the funk.Yes the soft goals are killers just like the shorthanded ones,the goalies need to step up and put a hault to that.Line-up will be interesting tonight.Let go Lakers!!!!!!.............still plenty of season left:D

New post on The Oswegonian


Lakers dominate the Mustangs, win
by Brian Krosky
Oswego State got back to its winning ways and defeated SUNY Morrisville, 5-1, Friday night at the Marano Campus Center Ice Arena. With the win, the Lakers improve to 2-3-1 and the Mustangs fall to 1-6, with both team's records identical in SUNYAC conference play as well.

The Lakers dominated on both ends of the ice, outshooting the Mustangs 45-19

Junior Andrew Barton led the way for the Lakers with three goals and now raises his total to four on the season, which leads the team. This was the first hat trick of Barton's career. Freshman Cameron Berry assisted on two of his goals for his first two points of the regular season.

Junior-transfer Adrian Ignagni, who transferred from Div. I Niagara University, got his first regular season start of the season and impressed, allowing only one goal on 19 shots.

The other scorers for Oswego were Alex Botten, who scored the first goal of the game on an open shot near the slot, David Ferreira who scored in the second period.

Danny Lisico scored the lone goal for the Mustangs, capitalizing on his team's power play opportunity late in the first period.

Both teams will meet tomorrow night, however they will switch locations as Oswego heads to Morrisville. The Lakers will be looking to get back to .500 with a win. Puck drop will be at 7 p.m.

Re: 2015-16 Oswego State Lakers Hockey #LakePlacidOrBust #NoMoreDrivesToAdrian #GoLak

Nice to see the Lakers pick it up tonight, especially in the second and third period. Special teams still need a lot of work. The new goalie Ignagni did a find job but wasn't asked to make many tough saves. I can't see him being the regular net minder yet but who knows. I was glad to see TJ Sneath get some ice time tonight. I liked him in the exhibition game and he finally got to play some minutes..he looks fast and scrappy and I hope he gets to keep playing and shake things up.
 
Re: 2015-16 Oswego State Lakers Hockey #LakePlacidOrBust #NoMoreDrivesToAdrian #GoLak

Adrian did two things the other two haven't been doing. He didn't give up any soft goals and he took care of the front of the net. You can't just let the puck sit out in front as a goalie and Z and Justin have a bad habit of doing that. I won't say Adrian should be the number one but I think he earned the right to go again tonight. Also the PP didn't score but they got some chances, had good movement and didn't allow the Mustangs to get it into their zone and hold it like other teams have been doing. The first PK by Oswego was awful but the other two were much better.
 
Re: 2015-16 Oswego State Lakers Hockey #LakePlacidOrBust #NoMoreDrivesToAdrian #GoLak

Couldnt watch last night, but seems like it was a good win.......Special teams needs to get their act together,perhaps as the season goes on and they get more chances on the PP we will improve/settledown.Good to hear netminding was good..Big road game tonigt,sounds nuts at this point but it is,cant give up anything else as far suny is concerned....Havnt seen much of Boyd thought he was going to be a tough grinder type player??

They came out very flat tonight but escaped the first without much damage. They were dominant in the second and were unlucky to come away with only two goals. They were very solid in the third including an excellent 5 minute penalty kill. They cashed in on their only PP chance of the game and did some crease crashing to score three of the four goals. Adrian was solid again tonight and he did an excellent job of controlling the action around the crease. JJ Hart started the game at forward but switched to D after Mac Scott left the game with an apparent injury. Mitchell Herlihey was also out with a pretty heavy tape job on his hand. They needed four points from the weekend and they got them while looking like a much better team in the process. The competition will be a bit stiffer in Utica next weekend and that should give us a better indication as to whether or not they are back to plying Laker hockey.
 
Re: 2015-16 Oswego State Lakers Hockey #LakePlacidOrBust #NoMoreDrivesToAdrian #GoLak

Couldnt watch again, but 2 pts is nice, I did notice Hart in the box as a winger,one of the line-up moves I expected,Igi played well I guess, good to hear he has had control of the rebounds and the crease,any idea why we havent seen much of Boyd?? Platty gave da bears a whippin,4 of 5 on the PP.As for injuries, we cant have to many only 4 guys in suits per game....Buff st beat genny in genny by 3 then beat Bport at home the next night watchout .

Digby called the first period "the worst period of hockey we've played so far this season"...but was pleased with how the stuck together and kept pushing in the last two periods.....I agree the contests in Utica will give us a measuring stick to use for where we are and how far we need to go.....seems like the SUNYAC isn't getting any easier after this weekend.
 
Re: 2015-16 Oswego State Lakers Hockey #LakePlacidOrBust #NoMoreDrivesToAdrian #GoLak

The Utica showcase does have a tournament winner formula, all star team and mvp. if 2 teams go 2 & 0, which is possible because matchups are already set, tie breaker goes to periods won etc..
A tourney/showcase win this weekend would go a long way towards putting the team back on track.
 
Re: 2015-16 Oswego State Lakers Hockey #LakePlacidOrBust #NoMoreDrivesToAdrian #GoLak

another tough one...I'd say we outplayed them but whom cares...We did well in front of our net and theirs as well,play got chippie and we stood tall. Faceoffs bad, Botten penalty after our goal?? Federows penalty close to end of game didnt help,suck it up,we have lacked discipline at times and have been taking bad,yes there are good,penalties.there second goal week,Igigi did look pretty good though. Not finishing,2 on 1 while down a man shot the puck wide.We just seem to be out of wack/alittle off.Johnson doesnt seem to be all there,anybody else see that?? I think he is MUCH better than what he has shown so far this yr???Ok lets what happens today.

Indeed. Didn't see the game, but the stats look very even except one very bad turnover. More Catholics to play today. Let's hope we are blessed with a W. Commence prayers.
