Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

Men against boys.

Were the Lakers flat? Yes, but that's because Miami forced them to be. They simply dominated every aspect of the game.

I'd be very surprised if Laker fans aren't watching a 2011 Frozen Four team this weekend.
 
Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

Brillant coaching plan by the Lakers coaching staff and you will find out why tomorrow night .
 
Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

I am surprised this administration's defense team hasn't ramped up the excuses and propaganda on here. I am sure it was someone else's fault losing 8-1, probably should have been more like 7-2. The Lakers deserved a better fate.

Well, they were on the positive side of fate when Anzalone was booted out of town, so you can't be greedy.
 
Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

They have that new program starting in 2012 and I think in all honesty,a new coaching staff needs to go with it.
 
Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

Play OSU- We get one point or zero tomorrow.
Play MSU- We win in a shootout tomorrow.
Play BGSU- We get three points and NMU gets zero tomorrow.

I wonder if FSD will come to the Sault to do the playoff game next Friday, especially if the Lakers end up playing Michigan State. FSD is supposed to do a game next Friday night so the chances of them coming up to the Sault seem pretty good at this point.

However, if Northern wins tonight and passes Western, the televised game would probably be the Western game next Friday. Otherwise the options are LSSU or NMU.

I see TS has reverted to his/her practice of deleting some posts soon after they are posted.
 
Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

Next weekend match ups will be:

Bowling Green @ Northern Michigan
Michigan State @ Alaska
Ohio State @ Lake Superior
 
LSSU Laker Hockey

If the Lakers can't muster more offense than two goals total for two games, even on the road against a quality foe like Miami, they certainly didn't earn home ice advantage.
Their playoff games should be few..............
 
Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

I think Cassiani is a pretty good example of what is going on with the players under Roque. Cassiani ends the season with 21 points his first year . His second season he finishes the year with 14 points. This third season he finishes the year with 7 points and if you play that downhill slide out,his senior season he wont get a point.
 
Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

10 wins in 34 games. The Laker hockey program solid as a Roque. We look forward to the silence about this weekend, and the excuses and justifications to keep this administration around for another year, in the next couple of weeks.

Hitting that 10 win plateau and finishing 8 out of 11 teams clearly should keep this crew around for a few more years. Keep poking fun at past coaching legends if it makes you people feel better up there. It's ok!!!!!!

Talk to you people in a week or two and look forward to the same old comments and excuses for another season. It is getting old but still it is amazing how you defend this crew.

Must be getting pretty hot up there.

The Truth Is Out There....

Please identify the "excuses and justifications" that have been posted on this forum by Laker fans to keep the current "administration" around. Be specific. Don't throw out vague generalities. What posts have been made that defend the current head coach, and in what way are they defending him?

Well you know we're doing everything right and we are playing hard and all we need to do is win and we cannot buy a goal right now and the breaks are all going against us and we are a team that just gets better every game and have a lot of character kids and the opponents goalies all made big saves against us and we are getting a lot of good chances and need to execute better and the we have played some really good teams who are getting hot at the right time and it is unfair being such a small college when the other teams have such an advantage and things just went their way last weekend and we deserved a better fate and i thought we outplayed them and should have won that game and the vitriol shown by the fans on here who don't know what they are talking about being critical and we have some good talent on this team and doing the right things and scoring tons of goals in practice and we are right there with the Western Michigan's and still have a chance at top 4 with games in hand and the schedule being much harder for us than any other team and it is hard to get on these guys because they are working hard and doing the right things and we are just snake bit right now and a bounce here or a crossbar there and things would be different and there were some calls against us and when we go to the net they are calling everything against us and we have a lot of key guys banged up right now and sick with the flu and a cold and it is unfair because we live so far north and we have to stay with it and our discipline is good and we wont change a lot and our in a good position and the guys are confident and we will be the surprise team of the second half and it's a tough league and we are going to be really good down the line with the recruits we are getting and we have to take it one game at a time and get some luck and not have the refs and fans get down us and keep doing what we are doing and the breaks will come and we are working hard and our right there and this team is going to win a lot of games and we have deserved much better fates most nights and have had a lot of things go against us and if we work hard, keep doing what we are doing and execute we will be fine and youu know I can't get down about this past weekend getting 3 points on the road is huge in this league and a bounce here and hitting a post there and we get the 6 points I think the boys are working hard and we have to keep doing what we are doing and work hard and the wins will come and we are going to be the surprise team of the second half and Bowling Green is tough to play in front of their fans and are a vastly improved team and how can I get down on these guys and myself for not getting any breaks and being right there we are right there and on par with the teams ahead of us and this team is snake bit and these guys get better and better every game and i don't care what anyone says this team is going to win a bunch of games and the refs didn't give us any breaks or calls on the weekend and how the league commissioner is even against us along with the refs and linesman i mean i just wanted to talk to them a few weeks ago and had to file a police report because i was threatened and it is unfair due to the finances and being such a small university to be competing against the Western Michigan's and Alaska's who poured in a ton of money to their program and it is unfair if we were to get a home ice advantage because it would cost us $10,000 a game plus expenses to the other teams and that is unfair, Michigan flies here for crying out loud and i hear people all the time being critical of these guys who work hard and they don't know what they are talking about as they are not around these guys and we have a bunch of character guys that improve every year and the power play will come around and we will be the dark horse of the second half and should compete for a first round bye and we have to capitalize on our opportunities because the pucks will start going in the net and we have played tough and are right there and we are going to keep working hard and doing the little things and the wins will come and year in and year out we get the character kids that work really hard and only get better as they progress under this administration and the world of college hockey isn't like it was 20 years ago and it's hard and unfair for the little universities to compete against the big schools like Ferris and Northern and I mean Michigan flies here for crying out loud and these are a bunch of good kids that are working hard and the wins will come and we can't get down on ourselves a bounce here a deflection there and it is a totally different season and we are on the verge of a 7-1 victory we just have to keep doing what we're doing and fighting out there and we will be the surprise team of the second half and get that top 5 finish and stop being so snake bit on the ice and with the officials who would even talk after the game and they are against the Lakers and we have gotten no calls all season and we have had a tough schedule one of the toughest in the league and played some really good teams who have put in a bunch of money in the program and i'm not going to get on these guys because some people who don't know what they are talking about want to question or get down on the kids and if you want to help out why do you write a check because it is really hard and i am happy with the results and we are much better that our record indicates and right there with the teams ahead of us and it will turn around and we are right on that verge of something and we are getting some good kids in here who are lighting it up this year and can only get better and this team is getting better every game and we are right there the boys are working hard and we have to keep doing what we are doing and the breaks will come we have a lot of guys that are just a shot or two away from really breaking a game open we need to keep up the hard work and we are going to get those bounces we were right in those games and we played well and i thought deserved a better fate we are a bit snake bit right now and the calls are going against us and it isn't fair because we are a small school and the Michigan's and Western Michigan's have all this recruiting money and we hear fans talk who really don't know what they are talking about because they aren't around these guys and there is no difference between us and western last weekend and it is only a matter of time before the pucks start going into the net and we get the breaks that all the other teams get and we are doing the right things and the wins will come this team is going to win a lot of games this year and gets better every game and are going to be the surprise team in the second half and a real dark horse and the victory in the shootout on Saturday might be the thing that turns it around and these other teams have superior stick skills but we have a bunch of hard working guys and the recruits next year will really be something and the players on this team improve every year and we are right in the mix and i can't get down on the guys for not winning the wins will come and we are doing some really good things out there. A couple more bounces and we are right there. We have to capitalize on our chances. We're right there and the goals will come. A crossbar here a post there and things would be very different. We can't get mad at players not scoring we have to keep working at it and things will turn around. There are tough times right now. We need good crowds to turn around the fortunes of the Lakers. We are fighting a huge uphill battle every week. We are limited by a lot of things. We can't recruit like other teams. This team gets better every game. I run into people all the time that are down on the Lakers and they don't know what they are talking about. Unless you are around this team every day you don't know what you are talking about. This team is going to win a lot of games this year. It is hard for a small school to compete against the big schools anymore. We got no calls and I think the refs are against the Lakers on this night. We lost 4-0 but I think we had the edge in play. We have 9 wins not 6 including that big one on Saturday that is a big turning point. It would be nice if the people that think they know how to fix it would actually know what they are talking about. We played hard the power play will come along.We have done a really good job. We're competing we are right there. The wins will come, the Lakers just deserved a better fate.
 
Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

Let us all just cut the nonsense . After 6 years of this coaching staff,this team isn't going anywhere.
 
Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

Perhaps....I feel they have a 50/50 chance against O.S.U. but less than a 25% chance of getting back to the Joe.

I suppose it all depends on what we now view as success. I think we are all aware that this program has not been a national contender for the better part of 15 years now and will not be again in the foreseeable future. Can we expect, however, a team that challenges for a spot at the Joe?

They may yet get there and if so, the season will be considered a success. If not, then the administration must take a very hard look at program's coaching staff and make the needed adjustments. Jim has been given enough time now to take sole responsibility for this team's success and failures and there can be no more excuses.

Less than 2000 paying fans for the final regular season home game should be more than enough impetus to make the powers that be realize that support in this community is fading fast......this program must win now and make it to the Joe or face an overhaul...it’s that simple.
