I guess the real question out of this weekend is, do we have a new starting goaltender in Z?
 
Re: Official Oswego State 2013-2014 Season Thread - A New Beginning...

I think we do, at least until he has a game like Gilbert had Friday night. He made some big saves and he also didn't let in any stinkers which is really all you are looking for out of a goalie, a guy that stops all the ones he should and some of the ones he shouldn't.

From what I read, what Friday really all on Gilbert? I read his d-men had a much poorer game with turnovers, etc.
Not to underestimate Z,s performance on Sat but we shut out (down) Brockport, not Geneseo.

There were some turnovers but a couple of the goals he gave up were just plain awful. The thing is he made a couple of really great saves on turnovers in the first, then let up three soft goals in the second. Matty cleaned up all of their mistakes last night, which wont happen all the time, and he also didn't make any himself. Justin is a good goalie and he deserves another shot, but Eddie has had a lot of success in going with the hot hand and at the moment, that looks to be Zawadski. If he falters in the Potsdam game then I guess you have them arm wrestle to see who gets the Platty game.

Good win vs a bport team that played a pretty good game as well.Looked to be a team win,a lot of backchecking and they finished their checks all night,Bonner had 3 on 1 shift,he plays a nice game of hustle,and perhaps will fill the net soon.We have several guys who are very good on faceoffs,with barton winning almost all of them,and Botten who we only got 30seconds out of very good as well,we didnt have any faceoff guys last yr .We blocked a ton of shots on the penalty kill,in which we look to have gone to a 1-2-1,and we clogged the middle.Whats with the net coming off so much??Reffing was ok at best.Adams is our best all around player for sure,and Galati has very nice hands around the net When Huslof starts to hit his mark he will have a ton of goals,he seems to get several chances every game.......Netminding,dont really know what to say so i will not say anything except:eek:....we will see what happens

You are right about Adams, he pretty much does it all out there. Bonner is good as well and he rang one off the post shorthanded after doing a nice job to get by the Brockport player. I also thought Orser and Yorke both played a good game for their first Laker action. Orser is not afraid to shoot and he picked up an assist on the first goal. Raguseo also played well after looking like a fish out of water in the Fredonia game.

And as you said, they took care of the front of their net which is going to be key for this group going forward unless they start filling the net a lot more. The Power Play is still powerless which is cause for some concern but as long as the PK is good then it should balance out and 5 on 5 they are pretty good.

Gilbert wasn't at fault for every goal he let in. The defense was just dismal Friday, but there were a few goals that he absolutely should have stopped. Every time I have seen Zawadzki in net, I think he's looked better and faster. He doesn't come out of the crease as much as Gilbert does and he doesn't let as many pucks just bounce off him. I really do think Gilbert will get better. I mean, let's not forget even Hare gave up 6 to Utica last year. But right now, I think Z is the better goalie.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Gilbert in Net against Potsdam and Z in net against Platty.

agrree Z doesnt have all the extra movement that gilbert does,I think he has better positioning and that helps,its the less is more style that many goalies seem to use now. as for who is better and who will start when????Thats y they pay Coach Gosek the big bucks..

Brockport's rink is notorious for this. I don't think I've ever been to a game there that hasn't been ground to a hault by the nets coming off over a dozen times.

They don't have any Marsh pegs. The corners of the posts just sit in a small dent in the ice and it doesn't take much to knock it off.

The other site hates OZ this week, put us at #15 . Can't say I disagree too much, but I rather be 4-2 than 2-4.

Don't disagree with it much either. But putting Geneseo above us? That stings in a new way I haven't stung before.
 
Re: Official Oswego State 2013-2014 Season Thread - A New Beginning...

When you consider they could easily be 5-1 I am very happy with the first 6 games.

As far as the Rankings, Oswego has a target on their back no matter where they are ranked, everyone seems to feel like they really accomplished something when they beat them so being ranked lower won't diminish how hard teams come at them.

He must have forgotten the little sarcastic face thing at the end of his post?
