Re: LSSU Hockey 2011-2012

The feed will have play by play, but will be Ohio State announcers.

That is great news for sure. You want a great preview of this weekend, and a very entertaining show, listen to the Laker Hockey Show with Paul VanWaggoner. http://www.lssulakers.com/sports/m-hockey/index Coach Roque sounds really fired up about this weekend and Paul really asks some good questions too. Forget a split this weekend, I expect a sweep.

Go Lakers
 
Re: LSSU Hockey 2011-2012

I keep missing the show. What time does it begin? Thanks
The VanWaggoner show is 5:30 on Wednesday's. They record it and make it available as a podcast usually by sometime on each Thursday. To listen to the latest show, just click on the podcast link on the middle right side of the Laker Hockey page (link provided by Flem Of The North).

Tough loss tonight. The bounces definitely went OSU's way tonight. They knocked the 2nd goal out of mid air into the net. The 3rd goal was from behind the net, and the 4th goal was off of a leg in front. To top it off, they added the empty net goal from their own zone.

If the Lakers play like they did tonight, they should come out on top tomorrow. They had plenty of opportunities they did not capitalize on tonight.
 
Re: LSSU Hockey 2011-2012

I think the Lakers will respond and win tonight. They have done it all year, and there is no reason why they can't do it again.
 
Re: LSSU Hockey 2011-2012

Lakers now losers of three out of the last four games and are winless in five out of the last six conference games. Sounds like the same Lakers from the past 15 years.

Let's see.............#11 (LSSU) in the nation plays at #7 OSU (arguably the hottest team in the nation) and loses 2-1 and you want to throw them under the bus. It sounds like the boys played hard and well........... If the polls are somewhat correct, wouldn't the higher ranked team be expected to win at home?

I thought the Lakers played a full 60 minutes tonight. Opportunities to win the game were there, but they just could not capitalize. The McParland - Jean - Campbell line had a great chance 2 minutes into the 3rd, but just couldn't put in the rebound.

This will be an interesting couple of games against Northern.

You do make some good points. Maybe my expectations are too high. The real test comes next weekend. If the Lakers are for real and not the typical Lakers team since the Borek era, they MUST sweep NMU.

Also nice to see Murdock play well. Hopefully it pushes K2 to play better.
 
Re: LSSU Hockey 2011-2012

The Lakers have nothing to be ashamed about with tonights game. They were a much more balanced and complete team tonight and really gave OSU a difficult time clearing the puck from their end. A game that could have gone either way especially that twice the Lakers rang the pipes without it going in!

I agree. Lake Superior played a solid game tonight and had their opportunities to score more goals and get a split. We were lucky tonight. I will definitely take it. In the past, OSU would have lost this game and settled for a split.
 
Re: LSSU Hockey 2011-2012

I support Laker Hockey and always will. They played hard and thats all we can expect from the team, Ohio State is in fact for real. If someone were to tell me before the season where this team would be at this time i would be overjoyed. Remember we did lose a whole lot to graduation this season.

The season has a way to go yet but i think the best is yet to come.

Maybe, but the goalscoring has got to improve. Roque said he thinks they need to get up to around a 3 goals per game average. They had half that against the Buckeyes and didn't get any points. On paper, the upcoming home series against Northern is probably the easiest CCHA series left in the season for the Lakers, not that any of them are easy. They need to sweep Northern to regain some momentum, or at least get 4-5 points at a minimum. And they need to end their Friday night drought. They haven't won a Friday game since Miami in late October.

It will be interesting to see what happens this weekend. Northern has won 3 in a row, after sweeping Miami this weekend. They will be coming to the Sault with a lot of confidence.

Should also be interesting to see who gets the start in net. I would think we will see Kapalka on Friday, and the outcome of that will determine who plays on Saturday.
 
Re: LSSU Hockey 2011-2012

Maybe they need to spend a lot more time on shooting drills . You can teach players a better wrist shot and slap shot and make sure the fundementals of shooting are working as they should be. Too many missed shots and off target shots.
 
Re: LSSU Hockey 2011-2012

It looks like you people up there are going to be in the same position and making the same old excuses for this coach once again this season, like every other season with that man in charge. A little earlier this time, but usually it is before or after Christmas before the Roque slide begins. You hear excuses in the media, see players disappear off rosters, and nosedive to the bottom of the standings. Maybe this year unlike the past six will different. You people will stop at nothing to support Jim Roque despite less than spectacular results on and off the ice.

The Truth Is Out There........

Welcome back Truth Boy *sarcasm* What's Anzalone up to these days? Is he going to get fired again?
