Hey Bird I would love to see that tape. I worked some of those games with a talented young coach named Beaney. Not sure if that was one of them.

I think he was on the Spartak game.......those were the days that D3 was fun....I think Plattsburgh played 39-40 games total in the 86-87 season. If I send you the tape, can you get it back to me ? I can work something out to get it to you.

BTW...that was the year Herb Brooks brought his St Cloud team to Stafford and lost to Oswego in the semi. Unfortunately I do not have that game.

Thanks, but don't send it ... I will be getting over to the Burgh several times this spring ... I am sure we can work something out.

Also, it seemed clear that Salem had watched a lot of tape on the Cadets. We had a hard time clearing up the sides. We were constantly passing to phantom players of our own. They were really players from Salem. I am really glad they didn't get the bye,as they play much better week after week in my opinion. The gas pedal was not working in the second period and then the 3rd looked a lot like the first, crisp, quick passing. But lets hope they just couldn't get up enough for the game as it will probably take more than they gave last night to go all the way. But even Will had at least 2 really bad passes that were turn overs . We really liked Tylers goal that put them on the board. He always seems to come through when really needed. Defense seemed to be on top of there game, maybe even better than the offense. Lets hope that Norwich advertises the crap out of the next game. Need every single seat sold. How about some adds in the Free Press, Times Argus, Social Media. How about WDEV gives some lucky caller seats away. What do you say Puck Voice?

Switching back in forth between the Cards and the Lakers....I was quite impressed with the "Smurfs"...take them lightly and it could be trouble.

No question about it. For all my joking about it, beating Oswego in Oswego in that situation shows that they are a force to be reckoned with. My use of "smurfs" refers to the shade of blue that Hamilton used to wear on the road unis back in old days of the ECAC East and the Interlock. Regardless of size, they looked like troop of skating smurfs, but the Cadets were usually a victorious Valdemort who vanquished the smurfs.

It is kind of funny as I think back. I have lived in Plattsburgh for almost 40 years, but grew up near Fort Drum in West Carthage, NY. As a kid I used to listen to the Clinton Comet hockey games on the radio. (As my Dad would say when the wind was right) Of course. that is the location of Hamilton College. I am not quite sure, but I think they played in the same arena as Hamilton plays in now. I never got to a game there, but did catch a game or two after they moved to Utica in 1974. but changed names. When I moved here in 1977 I lost track of the team. Since being in the area, i have always felt the well respected rivalry between Plattsburgh and Norwich. There have been many times during the seasons that I have listened to 96.1 and George, especially for the Saturday games because the Plattsburgh games are at night. Anyway, that is where my support comes from for you guys, of course once Plattsburgh is out of it.

Understand completely as I feel the same way about the Cardinal program.
But of course we still have this game between our women's teams coming up this week.

It will be a good one for sure....just seems odd to have to travel 800+ miles to play a team that is less than 75 miles away !

I don't control things but your ideas are good ones and I will pass them along. Actually thought the crowd Saturday night (1,700+) was really good with no students, but you are right . , we can and should do better this weekend.

Given only six days to game time and when one reads that close to half of Americans get their news via Social Media...maybe it's time to turn on everyone's Facebook to promote the game. Those of us down south...on "fun side of THE WALL"...really wish we were midst all that ice and snow...but we will watch the game with a cold Carona. Go Cadets

Does anyone happen to know if a video link for the NU Women's game against Plattsburg has been set up yet and what it might be? As I recall the NCAA owns the TV rights to the final four in DIII hockey. Thanks

Clash? Seems like a pretty lop sided affair? Can the NU girls get by them? We need some of there water they are drinking, cause it is pretty good stuff. Hats off to the Platty women. They have got a rock solid program over there.

I stand by the word clash. When they met earlier in the season the Cards had a but a one goal edge until the last 45 seconds of the game in their 3 to 1 win over NU. The SOG were about even. And no question the PSU Women have a winning tradition and a great club. But given the heart the NU women put into that Middlebury win last weekend tells me PSU will view this game as a one that could upset their plans for a fourth consecutive NCAA title. They're savvy enough to know that there are no "weak sister" opponents (pardon the pun) when your down to the final four. I look for a close game albeit acknowledging that PSU has an edge. Go Cadets.
