Colin Campbell had shoulder surgery in August and will be out for the first half of the season from the sounds of it. Big loss for the Lakers. Monardo and McParland will need to get off to good starts and some other guys will need to step up also.

Nice to see the Lakers win last night. Now the real test begins Thursday.

Was the need for shoulder surgery a mystery and they didn't realize he needed to have it or did they think waiting just before the season begins would be a great time to put him under the knife ? Yes,we do need players to step up but that is something we have been preaching on for 15 years.

A few of my observations on last nights game.
Kapelka looked a little shaky early, but played the best I have seen him play in a long time. And I am not a Kapelka fan.
I was impressed by Loesch. He seemed to be on the same level as the returning players and had the best game of the freshmen.
What is the purpose of the new student section in front of the presidents box? The students that were there, sat silently and unmoving the whole game. Most looked like they didn't know, or care, anything about hockey. The student section needs to be behind the opposing goalie. It would be great IF the school would not squelch all attempts from the students to be loud and annoying.
Really looking forward to Thursday night. Hopefully the crowd will be a lot better.

I heard that Matt Johnson is to be red shirted due to injury also....does anyone know what type of injury?
Re: LSSU Hockey 2012-2013
Not me. Perhaps there will be some info on tomorrow's Laker Hockey Show.

He was one of their 1st recruits for this season. A forward who played for Amarillo of the NAHL last season. Here is a link to his info:

Re: LSSU Hockey 2012-2013
Which makes sense if he was red shirted due to injury. Another possibility is that for whatever reason he decided not to attend LSSU. The coaches normally check out academics pretty well so they would have known whether he was eligible.
Re: LSSU Hockey 2012-2013
I thought the Lakers looked good Saturday night. Radke seems to be completely healed from his leg injury and Lain is huge. Only a couple surprises. I thought Coach Roque would play at least two of the three goalies in the exhibition game. I guess if you have a horse you ride him and that what the Lakers will do. Also, I was surprised to learn that Campbell had surgury after returning to campus in the fall from a previous injury. I'm not sure why Coach Roque kept this a secret at this stage of the year. Possibly so that it would not impact the early poles.

Re: LSSU Hockey 2012-2013
Goal scoring is going to be an issue, as always. I was slightly worried early in the game, but the boys got their legs moving and the second half of the game was much better. The power play was a mess -- and that needs to be corrected. Teams that have trouble scoring at even-strength need to find a way to get the job done with the PP. The PK was airtight. The defense was very solid and allowed few quality chances. I also note that many teams struggled against the Canadian schools this year -- including a few CIU victories. I think the level of play in the Canadian college game is slightly better in the past few years -- there are fewer and fewer 10-0 NCAA stompings as were common in the old days.
As for KK playing the whole game -- this is not shocking since I had heard (no direct knowledge) that he was dinged up a little early in the Fall and was limited, until recently, in practice. Sorry conspiracy theorist -- but the coach was just getting him some ice-time. And frankly, it appears the team is only going to be as good as KK -- so lets get him stretched out and ready to play a full night. But then again, I was suprised he played the whole game.
As for the Campbell injury -- that just stinks. But injuries happen. I could be wrong (and often am wrong) but I suspect the injury announcement timing has to do with NCAA privacy rules.
As for Johnson -- that also stinks. But I have never felt there was anything wrong with a redshirt season. Redshirts used to be very common in NCAA hockey. Now with the CHL always lurking and the NHL always scouting, NCAA teams are leary of telling a kid he is going to sit. Why sit when you can jump to Saskatoon and play 60 games? But the redshirt is a great tool -- it allows kids to get their schooling secured, get used to the classtoom-hockey rink back and forth. Gives them a year to grow in the wieght room. Oh well -- I hope the injury heals quickly and he is able to enjoy his first year at LSSU.
As for the students -- I think the comments are harsh. Its an exhibition game against a meaningless Canadian college team. Ibet if you were able to see the various student sections around the NCAA, you would see very few who were rocking out the stadium for an exhibition game. Furthermore, its a new change -- so lets give the students a good chance to get used to the new surroundings and maybe create their own traditions. I was happy to see them, and happy to see that the student leaders fought for the change, and that the college and the students were working together to try to create a better collegiate envirmoment.

Almost as hard as it would be for the coach to get out of your Dog House. Did you ever think that just maybe he hasn't earned playing time? Of course, you don't know much about hockey. You call suit and tie guys "star players."
Re: LSSU Hockey 2012-2013
All this hate . . . its just not good for the soul. I know you want to love, Truthy -- I see the want-to in your eyes!

Re: LSSU Hockey 2012-2013
I think Truthy is getting sentimental and afraid of his deeper feelings, because I think he deleted ALL THREE OF his morning postings. Its a good thing I was able to quote him while he was feeling his true inner feminine strenght and beauty -- because if anything can brighten your monday morning, its Conway Twitty being cited by some random internet troll who goes by various nom de plom(s) referring to Truth.
So glad its hockey season again. Now if only the NHL would get off their backsides we could all enjoy a nice, cold, snowy winter.
