Castleton State Hockey 2012-2013

If the hit was hard into the boards, I have seen it called for boarding many times. When Selleck was at Oswego and take a run at someone near the boards, he would get called for boarding. Because I couldn't unerstand the penalties on clean hits I found out that

Boarding = A player shall not body check, cross-check, charge or trip an opponent from the front or side in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently into the boards.

Needless to say, I was a little suprised that you could get a penalty for hitting too hard???

The purpose of a body check is to separate the man from the puck, not the man from his head.

There are a ton of videos out there (particularly Minnesota Hockey) on teaching checking the right way. The "blow up" hit for the purpose of "intimidation" is no longer acceptable.

Why has Justin Alonzo only played in 2 games? Its not for lack of skill, is he hurt? In the dog house?
 
Re: Castleton State Hockey 2012-2013

Castleton Fans your team just won the Rutland tourny and now Norwich is coming to town. Anyone care?

Castleton played a great game against Norwich, Cinotti played unreal in net and helped Castleton stay in the game. That was the best performance I have seen all year from Castleton and Norwich did not deserve to win that game with 14 seconds left. Even though they have a strong offense, Castleton had Norwich excuse my language by the balls. So overall Norwich lucked out once again coming from behind.

In the third Castleton was certainly getting the better chances and they just didnt execute. 2 posts and two missed wide open nets.

Norwich like the consummate professional found a way to win with a big player stepping up to score the big goal.

Although Castleton dominated a large portion of the third, lets not forget how badly NU outplayed the Spartans in the 2nd and was only able to mange 1 goal.

I kept shots as well during the game and I had NU with 14 on net and 30+ attempts in the 2nd period alone. Cinotti played very well and CSC did a good job blocking shots in the 2nd and 3rd.

Saturday was a great game and Castleton proved they are still a force to be reckoned with and they also have a goaltender that can steal games which I'm not sure Norwich has right now.

It's the teams with character that "luck out" all the time. I don't think Norwich played as well as they have (and even from CO, I've been able to see lots of video on my HDTV) against other teams, but ultimately, good teams find ways to win and take advantage of breaks, average teams cry when they get beaten that way. It was a great game - give credit to both side instead of looking at everything through your green eyeshades
 
Re: Castleton State Hockey 2012-2013

As Lee Trevino once said, "the more I practice the luckier I get." Castleton has a very good team and most likely will be there to face the Cadets a couple of more times. Surprised that the game was not a sellout.
 
Re: Castleton State Hockey 2012-2013

Well hopefully when these two teams play again it will be like that game, because that was good D3 hockey to watch. Castleton still has another big test against Oswego when they play in their tournement. It seems like Castleton is starting to get the boat moving again even though their record is not that good. If they played every game like the one against Norwich, and took less penalties they could have been undefeated until last night.

That, unfortunately has always been the knock on the Spartans. Rightly or wrongly, they have a reputation for taking the bad penalty way too often.

That being said, it was a great game.

By the balls? Norwich out shot castleton almost x 2. Castleton only had 3 shots all game on 5 on 5. Even strenght norwich dominated. Norwich had a rare game that they got them selves in penalty trouble.
Norwich did not deserve to win? Again 1 shot in the second period by castleton 11 SHOTS OVER ALL.Norwich hit the post 3 times.
Norwich lucked out coming from behind? The score was 1-1 halfway threw the game not much of a comback when you are tied. Mulvey and Janke are tied 7th in the nation for scoring leaders They must be dam lucky!!! I will give credit when its do Your golie played great and that is the reason the game was 2-1.
 
Re: Castleton State Hockey 2012-2013

Saw Nick Lazorko missed last game was curious if it was due to injury or simply a healthy scratch? Any word on this Spartan fans?
