Oswego State 2010 Off-Season Thread: "Say it Ain't so Neil"

Re: Oswego State 2010 Off-Season Thread: "Say it Ain't so Neil"

I like the class this year as well. We didn't need a lot of players, but losing KGT, Dormo and Mussel-man means we need quality.

So, any word on this Ian Boots fellow who is potentially going to grace the ice of the campus centre? I was a little thrown off by his number from freshman year to last year, but that aside, I think having a D1 kid joining the ranks will be a plus. From the looks of our recruiting thus far, we should, and I emphasize SHOULD be able to get back most of the goal scoring that Selleck and Musselwhite left behind. Thoughts?

Here is some info on him

Excerpt:
...Boots had 29 points in 50 games, but only four in 18 last year, and his career never recovered from the spearing penalty vs. Notre Dame in his freshman year...

...So that makes four guys who are gone, three to the NHL (Bartkowski, Bishop, Dalpe) and now Boots. I'm not worried. I expected some attrition. You'll have that when you bring in a new coach.

With that type of history and the anticipated rules changes regarding penalties, will Eddie even think about putting Boots in uniform let alone on the ice with the chance of possibly skate short-handed?

On the forum that Norm linked to, I think one post that he did not quote really stands out to me:

After meeting Boots his freshman year, and knowing him a little bit after that I have to say this is good for the team.

That came in response to the news that Boots was leaving. Given Oswego's wonderful history with D1 transfers, and the fact that OSU's (erm.. Ohio State's) fans actually seem to be happy that he's gone, I'm none too worried about this, as a Plattsburgh fan.

Also, as you can tell from the fact that I've put him on the list, I've confirmed that Boots is, at this time (again, check Oswego's history with D1 recruits), planning to attend SUNY Oswego.

The quote Card's cited and the "selfish penalty" quote from Ohio State coach John Markell is consistant with the innuendo I've heard about Boots style of play. That said, I also remember this...

Excerpt from USCHO:
...
One of the keys to the Lakers has ridden below the radar: goaltender Kyle Gunn-Taylor, the other senior on the team. A slow progression at Oswego coupled with the skating stars on the team has pulled the spotlight away from him.

Gunn-Taylor started his career at Buffalo State and made an impression in his sophomore year. After a falling out there, essentially missing his junior year, he transferred to Oswego.

A Paul Beckwith injury provided Gunn-Taylor an opportunity to seize. And seize it he did. Recently, he has been playing his best hockey of his career, fulfilling the promise everyone saw from him at Buffalo State. You can’t go far in the playoffs without solid goaltending.

“He got back to playing the way we hoped, like he was at the beginning of the season when he was hungry and wanted to prove he was a quality goaltender and deserved a spot on the team,” Gosek said...

Re: Oswego State 2010 Off-Season Thread: "Say it Ain't so Neil"

hockey is a team sport and I dont like the selfishness,,,,,,,,,that said, I seem to remember a now Florida property player who got a lot of penalties....lets give the man/boy a try and see what happens, perhaps the change of locations will help him.......Lets go LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Re: Oswego State 2010 Off-Season Thread: "Say it Ain't so Neil"

I agree, perhaps at the DI level he wasn't given an opportunity to shine, or there was bad team chemistry on Ohio State, or maybe I'm just being too optimistic. Either way I'm excited to see how this guy does, if he actually gets on the ice. With that said, I expect some serious things from this team this year, SO close last year to the promised land but so far. LETS GO LAKERS
 
Re: Oswego State 2010 Off-Season Thread: "Say it Ain't so Neil"

P.S any word on the schedule for next season? I'm anxious to see who we're facing

Don't worry, Prez. The Platty fans still feel they were a better team than us last year. I hope they enjoy their strawberries and cream at the All North Country Ice Hockey and Curling Club. :D
