Benny Power, Domenic Monardo, and Nick McParland are three of the freshman 'stand-outs'.How are the Freshmen performing so far ? Good win and so far announcers sounding good.
I didn't get to see Zach Trotman last weekend; he didn't play because of the flu. They recruited him because he's a big strong defenseman, and they expect him to play that way in front of the Lakers net in particular.How are the Freshmen performing so far ?

I was surprised as heck to see Pat in goal last night. He didn't look very solid and I do believe he had help out front. I hate to favor a goalie, but I wish Jim had stuck with Beamer from the get-go ... instead of putting him in in the third. But, I guess he had to let Pat see some of the action from this good Ohio State team. I think we could have won that game.I was at the Providence/Bowling Green game tonight. Was Inglis the starter and was he that bad as the score seems to indicate or did he have no help out front?
I totally agree. Really don't know why Roque started him last night.I hate to say it, but Inglis should be on the bench the rest of the year, except for some non conference games. Let's hope Mahoney-Wilson continues his great start.
Yeah ... there was some shadiness surrounding those Laker penalties and the resulting pp goal for Ohio State. Jim spoke his mind!They can only go as far as their Beemer will take them. One other thing about last night it was real nice to see Roque let markell and sergott know what he thought of them. Jim if your listening you earned some RESPECT from me last night.
I agree with your observations regarding Barczuk as well. He does need to play with more discipline. He reminds me of Zac MacVoy a couple of years ago. Barczuk is always good for a couple of penalties and it's not always good for the Lakers in these tight scoring games. Hopefully the situation will improve.Key turning point in the game was late in the 1st period and the Lakers up 2-0. They took 4 penalties in a little over 3 minutes, including a double minor from Barczuk. Instead of coming out of the 1st period with a 2 goal lead, they allowed the Buckeyes to get within one goal plus gain some momentum. Barczuk is a high energy player, which is good, but he needs to play with more discipline. He racked up quite a few penalties last season, often in the offensive end.
I have faith in BMW!Goalies have always been the backbone of Laker teams for the last 20 plus years and this year they may very well be the weak spot. If Wilson can play solid then this team may have a shot at home ice for the play-offs.
