Really good win by the Lakers tonight with a 5-4 win. They were battling more than Michigan State all game. Here are my thoughts on the game:
-I'm now coining the phrase 'Jean the Machine'. That kid was dominate tonight.
-The officiating is the sole reason I don't care if we never play these Big 10 schools again. It was a complete joke tonight. The only call against MSU was a very obvious checking from behind. Lakers had a great scoring chance, and the ref actually positioned himself in front of the Laker player. It's bad enough they never call interference, but to cause it? These guys must really love their old boss...
-Despite giving up four goals, KK was pretty solid.
-Lakers had some really great scoring chances throughout the game. If they can learn to finish their plays, they can really compete this year.
-Still a little sloppy in their own zone at times. They need to work the puck out better.
-Fun game to watch, though, and good to be back at the rink.
Great game tonight. Congrats to Jean on the hat trick. He's the first Laker player to have a hat trick at home since Ben Keup in 1999.
I agree the refs were horrible tonight. The favoritism towards Big 10 schools is ridiculous.
Kapalka was solid, minus the goal he gave up 13 or so seconds in the game.
Possible but not likely, unless someone has donated some extra money to the program. For the Lakers, western Canada generally means the SJHL or once in a while the AJHL or MJHL. On the other hand, if Laprade has some connections in the BCHL I suppose he could be out there.
Northern does a fair amount of recruiting in the BCHL and has for a number of years. They likely have some established contacts out there and I would think have a bigger recruiting budget than LSSU. They choose to make that league one of their primary recruiting grounds. By contrast, Northern doesn't generally go East when recruiting. They don't have anyone from the OJHL or CJHL on their roster.As I was looking at this year's NMU roster, I remembered this post. Interestingly enough, NMU has 4 freshman from out in BC this year. That's a larger amount than I would have thought.
I didn't catch all the game, but the sound did disappear for several seconds when Bill Crawford was talking to Dean Dixon between the 1st and 2nd periods.I listened to almost all of the game and had no problems with the feed. Never dropped and no intermittent delays.
