Re: LSSU Lakers Hockey: 2017-18
After this weekend of play the Lakers will have one third of their season finished and they need wins as you don"t want to see one third of a season netting you two wins only . They need at least a split . I will be there for Saturdays night game as we have good friends who are Bowling Green fans .

Great news. 1999 was the the last time the Lakers were in the GLI so it's been quite a long time.
Re: LSSU Lakers Hockey: 2017-18
After giving up two short handed goals, a power play goal , racking up penalties, inept on a 5 on 3, not able to score on the power play and what looked like general confusion on the ice, you had to wonder if this team has had any coaching since the season begin.

Not sure if this is the last year of Whitten's contract, but if it is I think it is time for the Lakers to move in a different direction.

Re: LSSU Lakers Hockey: 2017-18
Let the rest of the season play out first but honestly does anyone here really believe that a coaching change will make that much of a difference? I'v only been to one home game this year (less to do with the Lakers' play and more to do with my disillusionment with college hockey and how the conference alignments shook out...I terribly miss the CCHA) and I saw a team that looked no different than under the past three coaches. We may have to face reality here; we have a D-III funded program that can no longer punch above its weight.

I think you still have to give this coaching staff more time and hope they do a critique of how they are coaching and what works and what doesn't and fix the mistakes that this team is losing games on..Coaching is good but being a teacher is better .

I know you listed the recruits at the beginning of this thread, but do you know which ones have signed NLI's?

Re: LSSU Lakers Hockey: 2017-18
I'm not 100% sure but I think all the guys I listed have signed NLIs except for Manz and DenBeste.
The November early signing period is open now.

That is nice, a hat trick . It is a shame that when they finally get to Lake State, scoring a hat trick is a distant memory that never happens again while with the Lakers .

Fund the bottom of the barrel, expect the bottom of the barrel. And those 1500 butts in the seats aren’t doing much to boost the recruiting budget. We’re in the bottom few in budgeting, why expect more in the standings?
Re: LSSU Lakers Hockey: 2017-18
From the Laker Hockey Show, Louis Boudon has signed his NLI. We may not get any more during this early signing period; not a lot of guys to replace for next season. They do have offers out to one or two other guys at this time so we could get some verbal commitments before long. Mike is out recruiting this week, and Damon and Rich will be out recruiting next week.

Getting some points this weekend obviously would be great but it's probably going to be a struggle to win games as long as the D is still banged up and short handed. Both Saccoman and Kaeble are still out and I think one or two of the other guys are playing while less than100% healthy. From the hockey show this week it sounded like Saccoman may be back before Kaeble but who knows when that will even be. Getting those 2 guys back should be a big help as will getting Ruggiero in the lineup after this semester when he becomes eligible.

Need to win tomorrow and get back to .500 in conference play. We have a tough December schedule coming up and the Lakers have to get points against lower tier teams.
