Re: Oswego State 2009-10 Regular Season Thread
I guess it's unusually silent on here this evening for a reason - for all the crap that's come down the pipe at Geneseo, they sure came out smelling like roses tonight. Congrats to the Knights for pulling the win tonight, and man, their goalie can really stand on his head when it counts.
For our guys, I not only hope, but I would bet a substantial amount that this was a humbling experience for our guys. Although the games were of little consequence overall, every minute of every game means going toe-to-toe, and treating it like Geneseo did - like its your last game (no pun intended, I'm actually serious). The Lakers delivered lax pressure, fell behind, took stupid penalties, and resorted to scrambling at the end. Panic pressure at B-Port lead to nothing left in the tank at Geneseo. Can't blame the refs all the time, cause the measure of a good team means playing past bad calls.
I think it may very well have been a necessary humbling weekend for our Lakers - if one had to lose a game, better to do it now before playoffs, and set the course straight again, just like after Elmira, for the long haul up ahead. And there will be a great opportunity to get that disgusting taste out of our mouths in a week - one game at a time.
If anyone has a poll opinion, let it rip, but in spite of this weekend, it's just become the same scenario as before Norwich and the St.'s dropped one a month back - I say Oswego keeps #1, in lieu of this weekend's importance in games played (in stat's ONLY, IMHO) but several first place votes will likely sap towards the Cadets for their considerable success.
That's it from me - sitting through 2 road losses keeps fans like me humble too. Best of luck now to our Lakers in the SUNYAC Playoffs.
