Yeah I agree. And who is the former Laker standout defenseman that keeps getting being mentioned. Could it be the one that bailed on the team and program at possibly the worse time he could have. Watch out Erie he may leave you hanging also.

Huge two points tonight from the Lakers which gives them a three point cushion over UAH for the last playoff spot. We own the tiebreaker over the Chargers as well so it's really a four point lead.

Watched the game on YouTube. Some salty language by the announcer after he signed off.

Hard to blame him for it. Kinda sounded like a $#itshow on his end with both the WCHA TV feed and his radio feed.

After a slow start, a lot better effort from the Lakers than on Friday night. Let's hope it carries over to next weekend.

13 in a row for former LSSU Laker standout, Owen Headrick and the Erie Otters. Meanwhile the good ship Laker gets only 2 points for the second weekend in a row against the bottom dwellers in the very weak WCHA and are fighting just to make the playoffs once again, before an inevitable first round exit.
Ringy Dingy!

You may wish to check your facts. Alaska (Fairbanks) is not the bottom dweller. And if you can take two points home from Fairbanks, that's not bad. As for Headrick, if he's such a stud, which NHL team was he drafted by? And 4 points in 13 games for a '97 at the OHL level is hardly earth shattering. He's been eligible for 2 drafts. Why is he not drafted?
Re: LSSU Lakers 2016-17
Might as well save your breath Davy. LakerBaker is just trolling. Hasn't gotten over the firing of Jim Roque and maybe never will.

"Bill" doesn't like any opinion other than his own, and is a bit worried about his chum Damon Whitten's job security. After 3 years and where this team is at right now, methinks his worries are warranted and the good ship Laker is having a bit of buyers remorse.
#52 out of 60 Alaska may not be considered a bottom dweller to you, man, but they are anything but an elite level program as is #54 Alaska Anchorage, who the Lakers could only manage a combined 4 of 12 points from at this crucial point in the season.
On a winning note, the Erie Otters won their 13th game in a row last night, since acquiring smooth skating defenceman and former LSSU Laker star Owen Headrick.

Good stuff. My favorite memory of him that season was when he gave up a 180 foot shorthanded goal at Michigan Tech and then got tossed from the game 5 minutes later.

A couple months later he set the record.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2016-17
The latest and greatest article from Randy Russon of http://www.hockeynewsnorth.com and http://www.saultthisweek.com talking about another local product from Sault Ste. Marie and his NCAA hockey aspirations.
The kid can play. To be sure, there is an attractive offer on the table for Jake Palmerio to attend school in Michigan and play at the Division 3, National Collegiate Athletic Association level beginning next season.
The hockey team has made him an offer and Palmerio has fulfilled the education requirements that would make him a student-athlete at the school in question.
But Palmerio, a 1997 birth-year forward with the Soo Eagles of the Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League, wants to wait it out before committing to a particular school.
For one, Palmerio still has another season of junior hockey eligibility remaining after this season.
Then there is the fact that there are other Division 3, NCAA schools that have been made aware of — and are in the process of checking out — the 5-foot-9, 180-pound Palmerio, a hard-working, character kid who plays bigger than his size.
Having passed the 20-goal mark and averaging a point-per-game as an all-purpose performer for the Eagles this season, Palmerio is a lead-by-example player who continues to impress coaches Jim Capy and Bruno Bragagnolo.
Dependable. Tough. Relentless. Hard-working.
Those are just a few of the words that coaches Capy and Bragagnolo have used to describe Palmerio, a Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario native who is in his second season with the Michigan-based Eagles.
But while Palmerio will no doubt have more than one Division 3, NCAA offer to choose from when he opts to move on from the Eagles and the NOJHL and head to school, there has to be at least one Division 1 school out there that should have the kid’s name somewhere in the files.
And to be sure, the youngster’s coach from two seasons ago with the erstwhile Batchewana Attack of the now-defunct Canadian International Hockey League — the reputable Denny Lambert — is but a phone call away from any Division 1 coach who wants to ask about Palmerio.
Suffice to say that Lambert, the retired National Hockey League journeyman of more than 500 games and recently-hired as associate coach of the Gatineau Olympiques of the Quebec Major Jr. Hockey League, knows a player when he sees one. Lambert is also high on character mixed with ability — and he continues to follow Palmerio.
As a matter of fact, when I asked Lambert if he thought Palmerio had the overall ability and make up to play at the Division 1, NCAA level, the reply was quick and without hesitation.
“Absolutely. Without question,” was Lambert’s response.
Lambert knows what it is like to be on the small side and off the main radar.
Never drafted into the Ontario Hockey League, Lambert made the Soo Greyhounds as an 18-year old walk-on and stuck around to play three full seasons.
Never drafted into the NHL, Lambert persevered and eventually made it to the “Show” and lasted to skate in more than 500 games in what was an improbable career.
So when the now 47-year old Lambert — who had eight years of coaching experience in the OHL with the Greyhounds prior to his current QMJHL gig in Gatineau — gives his opinion on a player, the tendency is to take him at his word.
If a guy like Lambert says a kid like Palmerio can play Division 1, NCAA hockey then I believe it.
And if there is a Division 1, NCAA coach out there looking for a reference on Palmerio, all they need do is to give Lambert a call.

'97...not on anyone's radar...most teams have their '97 slots full and if their open, no money for them. When was the last time Lambert saw a D-1 game or sent a successful player there? Maybe the kid gets a walk on spot somewhere... if he's lucky. Maybe...but I doubt he'll be drafted by the Leafs with their next pick after Headrick.

I think he got a little over-zealous breaking up a post-game scrum and shoved an Alaska guy too hard. Paul is as good of a guy as they come. I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it and is disappointed that it happened. If I coached a hockey team he is definitely a guy I want in my locker room.
