LSSU Hockey 2012-2013

You people up there and your constant vitriol for a Hall of Fame Coach in Frank Anzalone is pretty disgusting, if not sad. Soon you will be blaming everyone and everything for another bottom division finish, low attendance and more of the same, even having the gaul to point the finger at former great parents and unbelievablely their parents. I'm done wasting my time here with you people. Enjoy another season of playing the what if and blame game. You are so predictable.

The Truth Is Out There....

Which "Hall of Fame"? He isn't in Eveleth, MN; Kingston, ON or Toronto, ON. I think the hero worship is a bit OCD and the constant deletions paranoid schizophrenia

DSM IV Symptoms of Paranoid type:
•Anger
•Anxiety
•Argumentativeness
•Delusions of persecution or grandeur

Actually, I was just telling the truth. Go back and read the press release: http://www.alaskananooks.com/news/2012/2/12/MHOCKEY_0212125757.aspx?path=mhockey
Your name is a bunch of bs. Your just a plain, run-of-the-mill Hypocrite.

I guess we will never know how it would have turned out had the call gone the other way. The Lakers would have still had a good chance for a first round bye going into the final two weeks had they swept Alaska.

When do captain's practices start? A couple of weeks yet?

Can someone explain why basketball and football, and probably other sports, are able to practice a month before their regular season begins but hockey is not able to. Maybe I'm wrong in my understanding of how it works.

I find it quite humerous that you people think that anyone that questions Jim Roque, his record and the reality of the poor state of Laker hockey over the past 8 years is the same person. Maybe in your "unnamed donor" good ole boy network, but believe it or not there are many up there that think the same. As evidence by the attendance lowering the past few seasons. Maybe there is a reason you uppers are charaterized the way you are?

That's "Yoopers." If you're going to insult someone at least get it right. So how exactly are Yoopers characterized? What would you infer? Where are you from? How are your people characterized? I would characterize Yoopers as good, honest, hard working people. Strong of will and of great heart and character. And Yoopers are almost always willing to lend a hand, to help others. You'll find a lot of really good people above the bridge. To characterize them as anything else is absurd and comes from one with a very small mind and limited knowledge.

Darryl, his brother Darryl, and his other brother Darryl are all Yoopers.........true story - 15 years ago I was driving my son to Lake State and we pulled off at Exit 282 in Gaylord to get lunch at
Wendys. We walked in behind three guys who looked like they had just emerged from the deep woods. I whispered to my son, "watch this, they're all gonna order possum sandwiches".......Yoopers
all they way!!!!

Darryl and the brothers were from Vermont. But I get your point.

The UP is a diverse State, with the Eastern third (EUP) being somewhat financially derpressed, since, well, since the Great Depression. Other than the Bridge and the Locks, the EUP has always struggled.

Marquette is a nice city that appears to be growing daily. and the Central UP is the banking, legal, and medical hub of the UP.

The South is Escanaba to Iron Mountain and Vulcan.

Then there is the West, the Porkys with great skiing and tons -- literally -- of daily fresh powder to attack. I-B-W is a fantastic gateway to the Porkys -- with amazing camping and hiking in the summer, and great skiing in the winter.

Houghton/Hancock is a nice area, and it appears to be slowly coming back alive with financial strength after the mines all closed. MTU brings creates a very tech-savy community-- again with amazing gateways to the Poryks, and great skiing (not Mt. Ripley, which is an ice chute).

The UP would be much better off not being part of scummy Michigan. The breakup of the CCHA is hopefully just the start of a long, slow, road to cutting all ties with the festering stank of Southeastern Michigan.

I still get such a warm feeling in my soul when I see a lower penninsula jackhole dragging four sleds in a mammoth SUV crashed off the side of the road because the moron from downstate didn't know how to drive in the snow. If the SUB has a UM sticker, its even better.

Of course, those are just my opinions and feelings.

People below the bridge and from the actual part of Michigan with cities, culture and population just find you people up there amusing and actually think you are part of another state anyway.

Good. Can we go? Please? Can we blow up the Bridge and just get rid of Michigan? Michigan's legislature will suppor a Bill to allow the UP to become the 51st State? No more being part of the disfunctional, poluted, corrupt, crime-infested, over-paved, national-joke that is a large part of southern Michigan? Holy crap -- where do we sign????

And while we're at it -- wait!!!! -- Did I just see that you included the Detroit metro area in a sentence wherein you are also alleging the existence of "culture"? So tell me, sage keeper of wisdom -- what is the "culture" of which you speak? And exactly how do you participate? Season subscription to the Opera? Donated money to keep Bakers' Keyboard Lounge open? Saw the D'Oily Carte Gilbert and Sullivan Theater appear at the Fox last winter? Were you one of the people who engaged in a letter writing campaign to support the DSO in its strike?

Hey, wait, I live in the UP and I am able to partake in all of those things! Of course, I can just as easily go to Chicago if I need a big-city fix -- where the shopping is better, the food is better, the nightlife is better. Oh, heck, or I could fly out of Soo Ontario and spend a weekend in Toronto. I mean, if you want to be a snob-- there is ALWAYS someplace bigger. Better is a question of taste. If all you want is a strip mall with Starbucks and Applebees and a mall with a parking deck, stay in metro detroit. if you like to be outdoors and camp, hike, fish, ski, snowmachine, kayak, canoe, bike . . . well . . . .good luck in Livonia! HAHA.

I think it is because hockey has a longer season then any of the other sports.
 
Re: LSSU Hockey 2012-2013

Lakerblue................I went to college in the "North Country" of upstate New York. First, I was amazed to learn that guys from "The City" (New York City) thought that "upstate" was around the Albany area, when
in fact, you can drive another 4 hours uo I-87 (the Northway) before reaching the Canadian border. I consider the North Country to start around Lake George, and includes beautiful towns like Lake Placid, Long
Lake, Tupper Lake, etc. It's quite similar to the UP. In many ways, both are like another state/country.

I like the North Country. Is the rivalry between Clarkson and St. Lawrence just as heated? Seems like perhaps neither school is good at the same time anymore. Maybe they never were - but its a neat dynamic.
 
Re: LSSU Hockey 2012-2013

Trolls are geographically challenged. An article in the Detroit Free Press referred to the "Nortwest Michigan" town of Ludington. Now, when I look at the map, I can clearly see that Ontonagon is much further northwest of Ludington, than Ludington is from Detroit. But hey, think how much nicer our state would be if "Southeast Michigan" were St. Ignace!
 
Re: LSSU Hockey 2012-2013

The Clarkson - SLU rivalry is still as heated as ever. ECAC visiting teams still hate the trip to play them as much as we hate the Alaska trip. Clarkson is a very proud program and is still looking to shed the label
as the D1 program that has won the most games without a National Championship. I have give Coach Jones, a friend of mine, until next season to deliver a championship. Clarkson has the advantage of being
just over the US border from Ontario (just about straight south of Ottawa) in the recruiting game, snagging top prospects as they pass by on their way to Troy to visit RPI. Clarkson is pretty stong academically,
and unless times have changed, hockey players don't get many breaks from the administration or professors. Some of the very best players have never seen game experience, especially French speaking players
from Quebec.

Yes, it's nice country up there. I lived about 15 miles north of Albany for a few years way back when, and we used to go trout fishing on the Ausable River near Keene, not too far east of Lake Placid. I've been through those towns you mentioned.
