OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

The first 40 minutes they were excellent. Played some great team defense and created some good chances. They were as flat and timid as can be in the third almost allowing Eau Claire back into the contest. With the breakaway speed and 1 on 1 skill Utica has they wont get away with 20 minutes like that in the championship game. Jake was very solid and we will likely see him in net again tonight. I thought the Bluegolds played a very solid technical game but their offense relied a lot on getting pounces and puck luck and when Oswego was really working in the first 2 periods that wasn't happening. Overall it was a strong bounce back win over a good team that should help restore some of the boys confidence.
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

Looked like a pretty complete game,would always like to see more even strength goals but we will take it any way we can.Coach must have shaken the boys up a bit,they were very aggressive,like at the start of the season and they were flying most of the game.We had several good chances missed,but I love the way we crashed the net,and stirred things up.We had 2 offensive zone penalties ,not good they usually come back and kill ya,but the PK was good and eauclairs PP didnt look that strong.Jake looked good in net,dont know if he saw either goal with traffic in front,coulndt tell?? Should be a close one tonight..

Even before the loss to Buff state I wasn't sure we should be ranked #1, the losses as Norwich hurt, but they've bounced back and this is the best I've seen them play in a while. They played like a championship caliber team this weekend

They played very good against Williams they just didn't get the saves or the bounces. Nazereth was a different story.
Anyways that was last weekend this is this weekend. We questioned what this team was made out of last weekend, maybe those 2 losses will help make this team better. They were not perfect this weekend, but they were better then 2 top 20 teams in the country, good for them, they should enjoy their "soda's" tonight.

Thumbs up to, Davies, Herlihey, Sneath, Galatti, Rageseo, Waterstreet, Jacobson
Thumbs down to Pelnik
The third jersey is growing on me.
It was hard to find a 1st or a 4th line all weekend, coach seemed to spread the talent around, Lines 1-4 played pretty evenly 5 on 5. Maybe the coach is on to something there.

Well, the rest of the schedule seems to favor Oswego, 7 out of the last 10 are home games and the first one looks like it could be come a payback game.
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

2 very nice wins this weekend. Did not care for the last 5-7 minutes of the W-E-C game. It looked like they are playing a prevent defense and that usually means you loose. The UC game was what I thought it would be. I thought that Raguseo played his best 2 games of the season and should have been the MVP. Not taking anything away from Davies. Rutkowski didn't show me anything and I thought Pelmik played a nice game, Yes a few miscues. I think you can put anyone with Galait and Hulshof and you are going to have a very good line. All 4 lines skated hard and worked well and the D worked as a team and move the puck well. Hopefully they have all the of eggnog out of them and get back to playing Laker Hockey for the remainder of the Season. Have not seen Hart this year has he been hurt or in the dog house?

Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

Rutkowski has been excellent all season but last night he was terrible. Everyone is entitled to a bad game here and there so he gets a pass. Rags does some great things out there but he also turns the puck over with alarming regularity. He just seems to have a knack for mopping up after himself that others don't have. Jake was very solid both games and I think he earned himself a third straight start when they travel to Nazareth. I think I could play with Galati and Hulshof and put up points. No offense to Joey Davies intended but those two are just good. Pelnik played pretty well considering he was a game time decision after Federow couldn't go after re-aggravating his injury.

Overall I felt they did a great job of playing through some bad bounces and terrible officiating to grab a win against a solid Utica team. After losing three straight they really needed something to get their confidence back and keep the season from getting away from them. Now they head to Nazareth to get some revenge for the terrible loss last week. Nazareth lost twice to a lousy Potsdam team this weekend so a Laker team firing on all Cylinder's should be able to run them right out of the building.

Great bounce back weekend......The hustle by the whole team was outstanding in both games....I like that we had the even strength goals didnt have to rely on the PP,the refs didnt seem to be that bad, we still did take a few dumb penalties by seniors that can/will come back and hurt you,I am sure they are being addressed.Great 5 on 3 kill that gave us some momentum,nice job. Pointmen enough big slappers,looks what happened when Rutkowski just threw it at the net,,,GOAL....we rolled 4 lines and wore them down,great job by the coaches....Thought Pelnik played well except for a few blind passes,I like his aggressiveness. Herlihy is a beast.Jake was there when needed,very solid all weekend....DIII,Hart has been around and I think he has played pretty well....

On roster Devin Campbell 6'2" 215lbs #4 ..has him as a jr,I believe he is a second semester soph..Geneseo also picked up a D1 transfer from Vermont ...jr defenseman
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

Nice. They are a bit thin on defense when Federow is hurt. Hart is so-so and Pelnik is a work in progress. A little more experience back there can't hurt.

I think Hart has come a long way from his frshman yr,Pelnik is in about the same spot as Hart was when came to Oz,I think the big guy will benefit from good practice and good coaching,and hey maybe try him at forward for awhile,he skates well and will bang around for sure,but hope he hangs around and plays in the future.

I like it...plus he put on 15 pounds in about day to bulk up for us.
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

my guess, we may not see Pelnik again this year, especially if Campbell is the same side shot. I to think Hart has played well this year, except a few times he took himself out of position to try and make a big hit, at least he was trying to throw some big hits. Campbell played for some very good Carleton Place teams in the CCHL, I thought he had more offensive potential, but I haven't seen him play in 3+ years. I think he might walk into a starting position on this team. With Rags and Johnston we don't need anymore offense from our defense.
I'm very interested in whatever Geneseo is doing, I think they will be very tough to beat at home. What's the scoop on the transfer from Vermont?
Hopefully we show up for Naz tonight.
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

Looked like a pretty complete game ...a ton of hustle and finishing the plays...what happened on the broken water bottle shot?? Hulshof hits a lot of posts/crossbars it seems...Daveis looks the best I have seen him since he came to Oswego, he is skating and hitting and starting to produce,could be dangerous if he does.Congrats to Braun for his cannon first goal last night.More line-up changes looked good,all the players are hustling to keep their spots,coaches keeping them on their toes.Huffnagle has has good hands,needs to dish after the first move,cant beat'em all at this level,but he will learn and could be a top player. ...sounded like we had another good fan base at the game as well nice job Laker fans..Zman was there when needed as well..Great job whos next..p.s....Campbell looked good as well should be a nice edition.

Agreed on all. Since Coach goes with the hot goalie, who gets the next start? Who has the better practice this week?

I would not want to be making the goaltending picks,maybe the staff does it collectively,maybe they let Pete Sears pick ...either way a hard choice and they must be pushing each other in practice for sure,making both better....I say we see Jake friday,and who knows for the big one vs Genny??

It does as the Jekyll and Hyde Laker's are on the upside again right now. But Middledbury still hasn't won a game. That's incredible.
