GREAT pics I am thinking that your not using a disposable
5-0 in an NCAA game! 4th line was huge tonight wreaking havok from the start of the game and finally finishing at the end. Am still shocked with the Cards score, but I think it will be a great match up Friday afternoon. Hopefully the Lakers come out flying and can put Amherst on their heels early
GREAT laker to hear that.....We'll be there with full coverage of any and all Oswego games![]()
Amherst can give anyone fits with their tenacious style and lights-out goalie. It will be an interesting matchup for sure. Amherst was much better than I thought they would be but quite possibly may have played their best game of the year. Might not be the same on huge ice sheet. Laker forwards are much stronger than Cards, so they should be able to pop a couple.
Overheard members of Cards staff talking about how the Lord Jeffs reminded them a bit of the great Middlebury teams of the '90's. Good news for the rest of DIII that they will take a big hit to graduation (see Neumann '09). Good luck Lakers, take it home for the SUNYAC.
From what I have read so far they have a pressure forcheck and may even throw a dman into the mix, perhaps they rely on their goalie to stop any oddman rushes that arise from that...that said we have some pretty good snippppppers who can cash in on a few of those, and tilt the ice.....we know they have a great goalie, but so do weWhat is Amherst's tenacious style? The only thing I know about them is they have a foolishly good goalie. Are we looking at a match up with both teams running a wide open, high tempo style? Amherst will not try to slow Oswego down, and try to run with them? Do they pressure in their defensive end or collapse and clog up the middle? Send everyone on their forecheck?
thnks for the scouting report, we could use all the help we can get........It's tough to say how the Lord Jeffs will play Oswego. I know that they made some subtle adjustments vs. Plattsburgh after the first period that really gave us trouble. Specifically, 2 men on the puck with the third guy hovering around the hashmark. The D would also creep in towards the top of the circle thus making it quite congested trying to get out of your own zone. Plattsburgh's D can move the puck pretty well, but they had nowhere to go with it in the second and third period.
They don't have any real snipers like Oswego. But Moher, Colp and Deutsch are solid players who play a lot. Although the goalie LaRose gets all the attention, he isn't the reason they beat the Cards. Solid, 2 way hockey. Lots of hustle and grit and a pretty nice looking power play. If Oswego plays their own game you should be OK.
.....amen to THAT, brother...After watching the Amherst team play last Saturday it will depend on which Oswego team will show up will depend if they can make it to the finals. If the team that shut out Plattsburgh shows up then they have a VERY good chance to make it to the finals. But if the team that showed up for the SUNYAC finals they are going to have a hard time getting that 2nd game in Lake Placid.
