LSSU Lakers 2018-19

Another nice win! Diego first Laker to hit the 40 point plateau in 22 years. Hope he gets one more goal to hit 25 for the season and 100 career points.

Nice to see special teams doing so much better after the disastrous NMU weekend. Needs to click again if we have any chance of beating Minnesota State.
 
Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19

I feel confident against Minnesota State. I think we learned how to frustrate them in that 1-0 win out there earlier in the year. They hurt us when we were overly aggressive so hopefully we are patient, get the first goal, and play disciplined.

Go Lakers!!

Minnesota State has always been a tough team for them to beat - in the past. It was good to see they were able to this season, now they know they can. Looking forward to listening to the games this weekend.

I was only able to attend Friday's Game. I was very impressed with the excitement and atmosphere at the Taffy Able. I understand Saturday's Crowd was just as good.

Frankly, I was a bit disappointed with the actual attendance numbers. Considering there really wasn’t any conflicts, I was hoping for 2,500 each night. Kind of a bummer that Sault Ste Marie didn’t come out more to support the team.

The crowd that did show up was absolutely awesome. They were loud and engaged the whole series. The Taffy was definitely rockin’

It seems like attendance always struggles for the first round of playoffs in college hockey. Mankato is usually around 4000 and only drew 3000. Minnesota could not even get to 2,000 for either game against Michigan.

I'm not sure that I'd have shown up to watch the Mavs RUTS UAH.

The usual conference playoff obstacles - Spring Break for students, Minnesota High School semifinals and finals- plus a predicted massive snowstorm for Saturday that caused the game to get moved up 3 hours. This weekend will be interesting to see how it plays out. It should help that the students are back, but on the down side, this round is not covered in the season ticket holder package. Not a traditional rival, but a team that beat us in Mankato the last time we met. But we're also guaranteed an NCAA bid, and it looks like we'll have to travel to Pennsylvania or farther for that, so some fans may be saving money that trip. Hoping for 3500 or better, but not betting money on that. Last year against Tech, in a similar situation, the numbers were 2672, 3309, and 1962 (Sunday games are always going to stink).

For sure. Almost everyone was down it appeared. That Minnesota/Michigan series was abysmal.

Losing 2 games this weekend would maybe help get you to Fargo instead?:D

Hopefully Saccoman brings some of his magic to his home state this weekend.

And hopefully Kossoff (and Mitens possibly) can play like Jeff Jakaitis did against Miami in 2007 when the Lakers pulled the big upset. We need that kind of goaltending again to upset Minnesota State.

The Lakers flight was canceled. They are now taking a bus to Mankato. I hope that doesn’t have any negative impact.
 
Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19

Was there a Laker Hockey Show this week? There is no podcast up yet.

The canceled flight and having to take a bus instead no doubt will have a negative impact. Tough luck.
