Nicely done! A repeat tonight won’t offend anyone that matters.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
I was gone part of the evening and wasn't able to listen to much of the game, but did catch Damon's post game chat with Bill C and it sounded like we had a few too may defensive mistakes and turnovers that Michigan was able to capitalize on. Still, a 5-1 start to the season is pretty good. Have to regroup, have a good week of practice, and play strong for the home conference series against Alaska next weekend.

To be honest, the team looked gassed, whereas Michigan looked like they had fresh legs. There were a few defensive mistakes (turnovers, couldn't keep the zone) that certainly hurt the team, but we looked slow.
I mean, after what they did Friday, it was to be expected, and I'm a little disappointment that they didn't put in a fresh pair of legs or two, but again it's a bit understandable considering how they played Friday, nobody really deserved to be out of the lineup, though McKay should've had more minutes at the very least.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
I think McKay is really only in there for penalty kill.
While they did play well Friday, the bottom 6-7 group of forwards has 1 goal and that was an empty netter by Ambrosio in Huntsville in 6 games. You have Calder at a -6 and Guy at a -4 so far on the season. The only one finding the score sheet is Veillette with some assists, but those have all come on the power play I believe.
They will need to start getting production out of the bottom 6 eventually so why not give some other guys a look when the current 3rd and 4th line players are not producing.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
I think we have more depth at forward this season than Damon's first few years but I agree that we do need to start getting more scoring from the 3rd and 4th lines, whoever is playing on them. Not necessarily a lot of scoring, but certainly more than we've been getting so far.

Or at least shut down the other team. Michigan had 5 even strength goals over the weekend, and the 4th line was on the ice for at least 3 of them.

The Lakers have received a verbal commitment from Joshua Wildauer, a forward currently playing for Coquitlam of the BCHL. A Michigan (Dearborn Heights) kid with a 99 birth date.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
Should be a good series. Alaska plays on a big sheet at home so they normally have a very good skating team. Lakers-Alaska games are normally pretty close both here and there.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
Alaska is win less and have scored 9 goals in 8 games . These are the teams the Lakers have to beat to get to the play offs .

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
But look at their schedule so far. They've played Arizona State, St Cloud State, Denver and Minnesota State (all on the road except for St Cloud State). That's a very tough schedule starting off the year.

Exactly, and they tied DU in Denver. UA_ is a good skating team … their weakness is scoring goals. Solid defense should win games against them, but I wouldn't count them out.

Yeah, there are no excuses this week. Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable for a coach being in his 5th season.

Congrats to Stauber. I was surprised when I saw him on Deadspin a few months ago with them trying to accuse him of being a cheater because he knocked the net off in 1988.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
I had to laugh when I saw that. Yes, he knocked the net off. Should've been called, but it wasn't. To me, it's not much different than going for an intentional foul in basketball, except maybe more serious, given how infrequently it happens.

Re: LSSU Lakers 2018-19
Being down 3-0 in the third and coming back to tie the game and getting a point beats losing . The defense lost that game for them and I thought a couple of the goals never should have beaten Kossoff . The Lakers just seem to drift back and forth into laziness and seem just void of energy from one moment to the next . Their play is not consistent and at times they just look tired . Maybe a more intense workout program would help .
