Re: Oswego State Hockey 2011-2012 Season

I too have a seriously good feeling about this. Last year was just...I'm not entirely sure how to even say it. We sh*t the bed in the semis, and then still made it back to the National Semi and **** the bed there for the second year in a row. I just have so much trouble believing that we are bound to do it for a third time. In fact, I refuse to believe it. I am very excited to see this pan out well for our Lakers, but all of this is simply speculation til they drop the puck. Godspeed boys.

225 would be 4th best all-time. I just dug through the D-III record book (I was bored this morning) and found that Hare's current streak would put him 14th all time right now. By the way, Kyle Jones was an absolute STUD. On the scoreless list, he's 1st, 3rd, 4th, 9th and 13th. :eek:

Here's the Top 15 all time as of before the start of this season:

Kyle Jones - St. Norbert - 337:22 - 2006
Adam Hanna - St. John's (MN) - 291:00 - 2004
Kyle Jones - St. Norbert - 234: 49 - 2008
Kyle Jones - St. Norbert - 201:19 - 2005
Jacque Vezina - UW-RF - 201:06 - 2002
Marc Scheuer - Middlebury - 185:01 - 2001
Keith Longo - Hobart - 180:24 - 2005
Brad Fogal - Adrian - 174:10 - 2009
Kyle Jones - St. Norbert - 168:06 - 2008
Joe Lofberg - Oswego St. - 165:13 - 2001
Christian Carlson - Middlebury - 165:11 - 2001
Rob Ligus - Elmira - 153:58 - 2000
Kyle Jones - St. Norbert - 153:57 - 2006

Czarnota's streak was 229:05. I'll definitely have to submit this to the NCAA at the end of the year.

With a defense and coach like he had, he was certainly set up for success. An amazing streak to be sure.

Sometimes, I get a good feeling, yeah...
got a feeling that I've never...never never never had before:cool: Sorry, like that tune quite a bit.

If I were to compare this club and it's current/near future scenarios to the teams of the last 2 years, I'm in the same boat as you sir. '10 was a blessed year of blowouts and high octane offense that, after carving through the SUNYACs and the subsequent playoffs, finally ran into the immovable object of St Norbert. '11 didn't carry the same luster, and it felt as if our boys coasted into the playoffs...and confidence gave out, along with the rink under our guys versus the Bulldogs. This year, after that Neumann disaster, our guys look like they have a focus that trumps the last two years by a ton. Almost the whole regular squad has seen Placid and/or Minneapolis now, and coupling that drive with an offense AND defense (key to winning the ugly games) that's clicking REAL good...this is as good a unit as any to crush the Semis Syndrome and get to the big one.

Speculation ceases now - let the Road to Placid begin.

Lakers dancing with Devils again

OSWEGO — They clobbered Fredonia 10-2 two weeks ago. Now, the Oswego State Lakers hope to beat the Devil out of Fredonia again at 7 p.m. Saturday in a SUNY Athletic Conference hockey semifinal game at Campus Center Ice Arena.

The top-ranked Lakers (21-2-2) swept the season series from Fredonia, also earning a 4-1 road win in November.

Still, Coach Ed Gosek’s team knows what happened a season ago. Fredonia came to the Campus Center and stunned the Lakers 2-1 in overtime in the SUNYAC semifinals.

“I wouldn’t say revenge is a factor,” Gosek said. “We could use it as a reminder that come playoff time, it’s a new season. They’re a team that’s won a playoff game. We have to be ready to execute our game plan and play to our potential.”

Fifth-seeded Fredonia (12-10-3) advanced to the semifinals with a 4-1 triumph at fourth-seeded Geneseo on Wednesday. The Devils outshot the Knights 30-21 and got two goals from Andrew Christ and 20 saves from sophomore goalie Mark Friesen.

Friesen has a 12-8-2 record with a 2.59 goals-against average and a save percentage of .918.

Offensively, the leaders for the Devils are senior Bryan Ross (10 goals, 26 assists) and juniors Mike Muhs (8-13) and Mat Hehr (8-12).

Gosek said he expects to see a much different Fredonia team than the one that got blown out of the Campus Center two weeks ago.

“They certainly have something to prove, the way that game turned out,” Gosek said. “Ross is a solid player. When you give him an opportunity around the net, he can finish. Their strength is being opportunistic. They’re not going to take a lot of extra chances.”

Fredonia will play sound defensively and try to force the Lakers into turnovers, Gosek said.

The Lakers are in the midst of their best stretch of hockey this season. They have won 11 games in a row, including back-to-back 3-0 shutouts of Plattsburgh and Potsdam to close out the season.

“When we’re focused on the task at hand, unselfish, and playing as a team, it’s a fun group to watch and coach,” Gosek said. “The confidence our team has is they know when we’re staying disciplined, working hard, and are unselfish, we’re a pretty good team.”

Junior goalie Andrew Hare (18-2-2, 1.65 goals-against average, .934 save percentage) has been the backbone of Oswego State’s stellar defense.

“He’s tracked the puck well and has controlled rebounds,” Gosek said. “The defense hasn’t given teams a lot of second or third opportunities. They have kept teams to the outside. And our forwards have worked hard to get back and support our defense.”

Junior defensemen Zack Josepher and Taylor Farris earned all-conference recognition, and are among a deep and solid blue-line corps for Oswego State.

Up front, Oswego State has plenty of firepower, led by first-team all-conference player Jon Whitelaw (17-20). Other top scorers for the Lakers are juniors Paul Rodrigues (11-22), and Luke Moodie (14-17), along with senior Ian Boots (8-15).

The Lakers have converted on 35-of-137 power-play chances, a 25.5 percent clip. They have killed off 113-of-129 penalties, 87.6 percent.

While Oswego State dominated the SUNYAC regular season, it must turn up the intensity for the playoffs.

“Now, the second season starts. This is when the stakes rise,” Gosek said.

Other semifinal

In Saturday’s other SUNYAC semifinal game, second-seeded Plattsburgh (17-4-4) will host third-seeded Buffalo State (13-11-2).

Those teams split their season series.

Gosek declined to predict a winner.

“For some reason, Buffalo State matches up well with Plattsburgh,” he said. “They are two good teams. Both have offensive firepower and both have good goaltending. It’s a tough one to call.”

The SUNYAC championship game will be at 7 p.m. March 3 at the site of the highest-remaining seed.

The only highlight of the Hobart game last year was the look on his face when he was in the net during warmups. He was getting shelled but he was loving every second of it. I miss having that character on the team.

Re: Oswego State Hockey 2011-2012 Season

The guys called another great game and it is great to have such coverage that you offer to us fans!!!!!!!!!
Besides the start of the game we were in the box at the end and beginning of each period. This can't happen next weekend and after wards. Freddy did score at the end of the 2nd to give them a bit of a lift going into the third. I thought this discipling issue was to rest. These late and early penalties are going to get us.
Since Mather has come back he has been an entirely different player and for the best. I am glad that he is playing this best hockey now when it counts. Even though he isn't scoring a lot he is doing all the little things that makes a team better. It was nice to see big Hank get a late goal.
Next weekend will be a good one.

The penalties were not a discipline issue as much as it was a reffing issue. The Badham boarding call in the third was total garbage The guy fell into the boards on his own, Badham never laid a glove on him and they called it boarding. A lot of the calls were just plain bad on both teams.

Oswego only took seven penalties which isn't really that bad anymore considering how tight a lot of games seem to be called.
 
Re: Oswego State Hockey 2011-2012 Season

I understand what you are saying but you still can't put yourself in that position for the ref to call it. Also that was only 1 call what about the 4 others??
