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

I think time will tell if there is a trend supporting this theory or we got some guys that just dont fit with us. I think the latter. We are spoiled with our teams success; and it was bound to find bottom out sooner or later. Welcome to "later". Eddie will right the ship. Go Lakers.

Outside of the 1st period against Adrian, Oswego was either right with or clearly the better team (and no I don't care what the scoreboard says). Yes they've had some defensive breakdowns, but the problem isn't getting shots on goal, it's getting those shots behind the goal. I would be more concerned if Oswego was being outplayed in their games, this isn't happening. Relax and breathe. Getting into the SUNYAC playoffs is all that matters. Home or away, anyone who wants to take Oswego lightly will find themselves going home. Strictly looking at the W-L records sure Oswego looks mediocre. Their play and their talent (majority of the time) is not such of mediocrity.

As I said before, back in 2011 Plattsburgh was a .500 SUNYAC team. But it was a .500 SUNYAC team that was dominating opponents, just coming up on the losing end. Of their 8 loses that season, Plattsburgh was only outshot in 1 game (against Oswego). They were a +93 in shots in those loses. While Oswego isn't as dominating in their loses (on the shot clock at least at a +41 currently), just as I said above if Oswego was being outplayed night in night out I'd be worried.

An at-large bid has gone by the drainpipe. Get into the SUNYAC playoffs where everyone is 0-0-0.

Just a side thought in regards to the recruiting. I don't think anything has really changed at Oswego. Maybe the luster of having a "new" rink, but Oswego is still one of the premier DIII hockey programs, case closed. HOWEVER, the huge freshman class a few years ago could have been both a blessing and a disaster. Not only did you bring in so many freshman, they were great freshman. Fast forward 2 years. Do I want to go to a school where there are 10-12 great players already? Where my playing time/exposure won't be as great? The chances of coming in and being a top 6 forward is extremely difficult already? I could be way off, but thinking as a potential recruit where would you want to go show your talent? Like I said, it was great when the now JR class came in and was such an immediate impact, but has such a large group of grade A recruits hindered other recruits from coming? This isn't Kentucky basketball where you bring in a great group, and they leave after a year leaving room for another great class. Part of a downfall of having a 19 group freshman class.....of which there are several grade a recruits....

Makes a lot of sense,the big class could have sent some recruits running for the hills,but what I am concerned about is still the lack of production from the fresh and soph class,these are not 18yo that are coming in like back in the days,they are for the most part seasoned 21/22yo olds who when you look at other teams,Adrian Platty have producted very well.Lets hope the jr's,which is 1/2 the team pick it up and show them how its done,......2 nice posts by PSU:cool:

I'm wondering about the recent emphasis on "shots at goal". Seems like we've been wide, high, or on the posts a lot this year. Maybe "shoot it towards the net" isn't working out so well?

Well it helps if you hit the net or even the goalie,but besides the puck going directly in:p,we have to get traffic around the net,crash it like Neil does on a regular basis,and bang those rebounds in,HUSTLE goals,like I posted before hustle and hiitting can be done by all players,skill and grinder types,which in turn makes luck which smells like perspiration,not so hard:eek:..I think we need a BIG win,not sure who it would be against, but I think it would get the team going,lets try beating The U in the CC. then the next week we have Genny in the CC 2 BIG wins ....are the students back for the game on the 22nd,wouldnt hurt to have a nice crowd

No worries Lou,they did a great job as always........The team looked pretty good as well,passes seemed to be finding the stick and we looked to have a good jump in our step.Neil continues to be the spark,both scoring and mixing it up IFO the other teams net:p..Zman looked good when needed and the d played a solid game.Special teams looked good,we did let them into out dzone to easily on the PK,and the PP looked pretty good with a ton of passes.No Botten or Davis.??

No botten or Davies, very good result. Fun to play with a lead. A lot of different combos up front, and pp. Huge game against Genny to start and we have struggled to bring energy the next night after a close game the night before, watch out for that next Saturday.

Nice team win....plenty of shots and we played a full game,looked very good in the last 2 periods.Hukshof with 4 goals,ok 1 called back??? zman had some nice saves and some good passing on the PP,,but Pk a little weak. BIG games tues night vs Genny,as they crushed Cortland...

Agreed but the PK was a lot of weak, 3 PPG usually means you are walking home, not riding. We need the Oswego 3rd period version against Genny, not the 1st period version. As said Genny is not Brockport, they need to put on the foil! Home ice is nice, let's fill the joint and get loud.

We are 2-3-1 the last three years, including this one, against the # 11 Genny Cream Ales. Aside from Platty, our biggest SUNYAC nemesis one may argue. And they have our number. Time to stand proud boys. Hope it's televised, otherwise we will warming up the tube radio and cursing here, very old school.
