I think Oswego will need to get by Elmira first. They looked decent today but they really lack some finishers that would give them a better chance against the Plattsburgh's and Elmira's of the world.
As for the men six straight one goal games for them and they are 4-2 in that span. They are certainly battle tested at this point. I pretty much felt that type of game would be what we would see all year but for a while they were able to blow a few teams out. Now that they have gotten back to their style they are looking pretty good. They outplayed Genny for stretches in both games but came up short, maybe the third time will be the charm.
I'm looking at the standings and trying to guess as to what Platty's chances are of getting a bid. Between Adrian taking a bid and likely either Babson/Norwich taking one, that leaves 2 leftover. If Oswego wins the SUNYAC, Genny might get the bid over Platty, and Wisc-SP will likely snap up another. If Trinity fails to win their tourney, then there may not be any bids at all going to the SUNYAC, just the AQ.
For Oswego, it's all about just keep winning. There is no bid. There is no safety net. Just keep winning. And keep hoping that Z pulls in some phenomenal games like he has been.
Can someone who was at the game tonight give a good synopsis? Was this a case of Platty being careless and failing to follow up on their opportunities? Or was Z literally just being a god on skates?
UWSP will get a pool B bid, not a pool C
Toto - get in the shade...that desert sun has your brain working way too hard... Our heroes have their destiny in their hands - Win And You Are In....Which is one less bud available for Plattsburgh, correct? So 11 spots, 7 AQs, 4 at-large bids. 1 pool B goes to UWSP. Pool C goes to Adrian and the loser of the Norwich/Babson game. That leaves one Pool C bid left. If Trinity loses they get it. If Trin wins but Genny loses then Genny gets it. Plattsburgh needs both Genny and Trin to win to have a chance. But then they'll still be competing against teams like Utica or UWEC that have solid records and could still win their conference championship. Platty may be behind them in line for a Pool C as well if they win their championships.
Toto - get in the shade...that desert sun has your brain working way too hard... Our heroes have their destiny in their hands - Win And You Are In....As for the other guys - let's hope they make it as the more SUNYAC teams that are in, the better it is for the conference IMHO...but otherwise...

Although knowing the NCAA, I wouldn't put it past them to have us play at Plattsburgh for the first round of games.

Perhaps I'm looking too far ahead. Let's win at Genny first and then I'll worry about whether we are going to face Platty again in the NCAA's.
What's the video situation at Genny? Not top-quality if I remember correctly.
I know Neil was hurt but do we know what happened to Adams, he was fine and dandy vs freddy?? Wills??A great night for Laker hockey for both the mens and ladies advance in their touneys. A very evenly matched game between the Lakers and Cards plus on of the lowest scoring games I can remember. The last few minutes gave me a few more grey hairs. A very tough game next week. Lets hope the injury bug has left the house for the year and everyone heals up for Saturday.

I second for the turncoat to get behind the mike.It's a single camera stream with no pbp attached.
If anyone has any ties to local TV stations that would be interested in covering it, I will gladly do the commentary for the game! I've put in a loose inquiry to Time Warner...
