Re: Oswego State Hockey 2011-2012 Season
How to describe this game? I am lost for words. First thing obviously is that I have never seen a game officiated like this - NEVER! I honestly have no idea how many penalties were called on each team, I lost count at eleven each! Best thing to say, Lakers defense was great, great, great! I thought the team started to pick it up towards the end of the 2nd period and played very well in the 3rd. This could have been a very exciting game between two very good teams but the refs ruined it for the most part.

Re: Oswego State Hockey 2011-2012 Season
Refs were awful, some of the penalties on both teams were puzzling to say the least. Oswego's penalty kill was excellent and the defense was very solid. The first period was pretty poorly played by both teams with Utica catching iron a couple of times but it got better in the second before the refs killed it. Utica has some pretty bad shooters, they had a lot of decent attempts that never came close to the net. It was a big win for the Lakers as they really looked like they were playing inspired for the first time in several games.

Re: Oswego State Hockey 2011-2012 Season
..well the refs I guess wanted to be noticed, good refs are the ones you dont even know they are there.......9 more regular season games 8 SUNY, and we all know how hard everyone of those games are...I have more confidence after this weekend...Must also say good job by coach Gosek fri night, but what will we see after this penalty filled game, Im sure us Oz fans will have a lot to say this week
GREAT to see that they played inspired hockey, from listening, it seemed like there was a sense of urgency or was that my bladder

The write up by Mr. Jaslow is spot on. I would have to agree with several of those who have commented on the ref's tonight. They were the woste I have ever seen going back to the mid 80's when I started watching Laker hockey. The 5 minute major and game misconduct on both players tonight were some weak calls. The one on Anderson, the Utica player lost his edge just before he got hit which made it look worse than it was. I heard that one of tonighs refs does the semi-pro games down by Elmira maybe as punishment for a bad game he was sent to Oswego??
Utica fans were great and thanks for braving the weather. Saw Sean Fitzgerald at the game, he looks like he could lace up a pair, put a jersey on, grab a stick and help out. The Lakers had Lady luck on their side tonight and sometimes you need that. A good start to the second half of the season.

Re: Oswego State Hockey 2011-2012 Season
that hit on Josepher on the other hand was nasty, he very easily could have broken his neck on that hit. I'm sure the Utica player didn't do it with malicious intent and he was just really into the game and a little overzealous, but i do think the 5 min major and game DQ was warranted. It doesn't matter how into the game they are safety should be the #1 priority.
With that being said i wonder with after the Nuemann game and all the blatant penalties there the refs decided to send a message that the players are being watched very closely.

Re: Oswego State Hockey 2011-2012 Season
DIIIfan, Sylvester does ref semi pro/pro games. I have seen him ref a bunch of Syracuse Crunch games and he is just as bad at that level. He seems to call every little thing that he sees and doesn't let anything slide. It is a shame as he took away from the flow of what could have been an even more exciting game. By the way the posts should be credited with 3 saves in the first period lol. I wish there was a stat out there for this, but tonight I think is the first time I have seen a team have that few shots on net by the end of 2 periods.

1. We appreciate the compliment. Those of us who did behave ourselves, anyway.
The weather was even worse having to come up from rochester. I ended up 15 mins late and thankfully parked myself right behind the utica bench. Sometimes it all works out in the end!
2.You guys played a great game tonight. I can't take much of anything away from Oswego tonight, other than i think Smith should have started over Therrien for Utica to be completely honest. Therrien was not sharp at all tonight and it definitely hurt, especially when he turned it over right in front of the cage. It's called covering the puck and it's a fundamental part of the position. Not a smart choice.
The excessive trips to the sin bin really put the game in laker hands. As we've learned time and time again, you can't enter a special teams battle with Oswego and expect to win. Per usual, you guys took advantage of your Powerplay ops later on to put that game out of reach and force the majority of play into the Utica zone. whereas, Utica was 0-for-12. (ouch). And then, you take it one step further and not just score one, but two shorthanded.
To be honest, i was working on picking last week's games and moreso thought that this was going to be the story of the neumann game, Figuring that neumann would take their normal rash of undisciplined penalties and your potent PP unit would take care of the rest. greatly surprised that it didn't actually happen that way although i saw how chippy things were getting. They more than made up in that area tonight.
3. I met Mountieboyoz on the way to the car.... fun fact. All i had to hear him say was something about Elmira's failure to win in tournament situations and i knew it was a poster. Fantastic meeting you, sir.
Best of luck down the stretch.

I saw you from afar I think. Did you have a Santiago jersey on? I was along the glass taking pics as per usual with my Indians hat on.

Re: Oswego State Hockey 2011-2012 Season
The game was officiated terribly and really took away from the flow. Lakers do have to cut on the unnecessary penalties, but some were ridiculous. Let the guys play the game. Te game turned on that second Leimbrock goal on that giveaway by Utica. Smith should have started because it would've been 8 goals for Oz if Smith didn't come in. Glad the Lakers are finally working themselves out of the offensive funk in time for conference play.
It was my daughter's first hockey game and she loved it. We convinced her that Hare was saying hi to her when he skated over to smack the corner boards. She did say open your eyes your missing a great game to the ref. I'm so proud of her.
Also, good to meet vcxc3200. I put the feeler out when I said the line about Elmira. Always fun to meet posters on the board.

I find it ironic an Oswego fan was calling out Elmira for tournament situation failures.
Save 2007, Oswego has been the poster child of that.

Re: Oswego State Hockey 2011-2012 Season
BakDraft, aka Mr. Wass, have you heard anything from Don Unger about a celabratory 25 anniversity of the Lakers 1st Trip to the championship game during the Platty weekend? I saw him some time ago and he mentioned something about that. I was your team manager for the 87-88 years. I hope he does something for it would be nice to see everyone. I notice that several are still part of the blueline club. If I don't have to work that weekend look for me on the student section just up from blue line on the rail.
