LSSU Lakers 2018-19

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19

I think it's B.S. the Lakers seem to play at home almost every Thanksgiving weekend and have to deal with no students and poor attendance.
 
Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19

Good home win for the Lakers. Now they need to back it up with another strong performance tomorrow night and another W.

Chances are you either play home at the beginning of Turkey Break or at the end of Turkey Break. Same with Christmas Break & Spring Break.

This Saturday slump is getting old. That's 4 straight losses on Saturday night. Even going with Kossoff for a change didn't help.

This was the best they've looked on a Saturday.

They did look a bit slow, but if it wasn't for that empty net, we would've had a chance after getting a late goal in the 3rd. If we could stay out of the box, it would certainly help our chances.

Splitting every weekend only makes you a 500 team and we know that doesn't get you a spot in the nationals .

We have a new D-man commitment for next season, Arvid Henrikson.

A bit of a surprise since we have plenty of D-men. It may be that the coaches feel Ruggiero and possibly Saccoman are considering turning pro after this season.

Ruggiero was amongst some of the last cut from the Ducks camp, right? I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone after the year.

As for Saccoman? I thought I heard a rumor that a scout was talking to him last season after one of the games. Plus, given his skill level, I doubted from the start that he'd be here 4 years, though he does seem to have a good head on his shoulders, so I guess I wouldn't be too surprised if he stuck around until graduation/end of next season.

We have 9 D on the roster now and none of them are Seniors. I have to think one or more of those 9 guys won't be back next season.

They had a nice article on Ruggiero and how he never thought he would play NCAA hockey again due to an injury . How the Ducks and Lake Superior worked hand and hand to get him back to playing hockey and how he owes so much to the Ducks and Lakers . After reading the article on him back a couple months, I am guessing he will play out his career with the Lakers before moving on to the Ducks . He made it sound not only did the Lakers still have faith in him but so did the Ducks and he owes so much to both organizations .
 
Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19

Interesting to note Minnesota State coaches were in the locker room during the national anthem.

I hope the Lakers bounce back tomorrow. I'm guessing Mitens will start but Kossoff didn't have have much chance on the goals he gave up. Nice to see Diego get a couple goals.

Lakers need to start faster and not build into the game .

That's what they did last year, and by the halfway point of the 2nd period they were gassed, let's not even talk about how the third period tended to look.
 
Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19

Important series for the Lakers. They need to get at least a split against Alaska to get some momentum and confidence back. I was gone much of last week and didn't hear any of the games against Mankato, but it sounded (from the hockey show) like the Lakers played fairly well (especially Saturday) but just had trouble scoring. SOG were fairly even for the weekend.
 
Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19

Huge sweep! Nice to see Gelsinger get a hat trick. I think it's only the 4th hat trick for the Lakers the last 20 or so years. Also Gelsinger's hat trick was a natural one as well. The first Laker do that since Ben Keup in 1999 if memory serves me correctly.

Lakers are road warriors this season. 7-1 so far on the road. Too bad they have a very disappointing 2-5-1 record on home ice.

Also nice to see them break 2 negative streaks. Prior to last night, we had lost 5 straight Saturday games and had given up the 1st goal in 6 straight games. Good to see both Gelsinger and Humitz get goals. They'll likely be our top 2 returning scorers going into next season (at least among the forwards).
