I don't know. They probably won't just because its SNC....but I'm not sure how a win over UWSP justifies a loss to Lake Forrest vesus a team that's unblemished being both ranked Geneseo and Plattsburgh....Id even put Utica above SNC at this point (maybe even above Oswego?) Both DIll and Virtanen have been on fire. Fredonia, Neumann, and Elmira might not be the best measuring stick, but they are playing very well...especially as of late.

All I know is I hope 2 certain teams take care of business January 6th so we can see a matchup January 7th....
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

Great weekend for the Lakers ,whether Platty is at full strength or not I'll take a win at the Ronald B anytime,and I am sure when Whiteout Weekend comes Platty will be coming in as a much better and more disciplined team.I think we looked good just about all 60 mins,there of course will be times when things dont roll perfectly but it was a pretty complete weekend,from special teams to faceoffs,which we seem to be getting better at. Netminding was stellar all weekend,not sure if Jake was screened on the goal vs Platty?? As for players,Herlihy,Barton and Ferreria are playing well,very fast and NEVER stop on the ice.We had a lot of "Secondary scoring" this weekend as well so we dont have to rely on the BIG LINE.As for the Polls nice to look at but Lou is right,March is the test time....Roll Lakers....yes was surprised not to see Davies hope hes not hurt.

That would be interesting at this point,we have many games and a big tounry at Norwich which I will be going to,coming up and I know as a player and now as a fan I never liked that trip west to play the Buffalo teams,and this yr they or Buff st looks pretty good,that Delaverne can win a game or 2 by himself...

Very good post with many good points, as always Remy.
Maybe I have I been reading too many political post lately? sounds like a Hillary supporter's lament? :D LOL

One could say the Pathfinder is shaping up to be a tougher test as well.
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

And Oswego wins the best-of-three series at the Ronald B Stafford after the women knock off Plattsburgh 3-2 this afternoon. 2 very quick 3rd period goals turned a 2-1 Cardinal lead into a loss.
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

Lets get through the semester schedule before we get too excited about the NSB and Pathfinder...😄😄😄.

I remain optimistic...😃

BIG CONGRATS to the Lady Lakers on the win over The #1 team in the land........wow looks like Platty had 50 sog's Laker netminder must have stood on her head,or helmet.

...and didn't get a W....kind of a big difference too

Dont get me wrong. A goalie with that many saves who even gives their team a chance to win deserves it...but a goalie who gets the W is more of a slap in the face when SOG were 32 in difference...
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

Turn's out I was wrong about Mariah not being good enough to steal a win for the Laker's. Getting pulled yesterday must have really left a bad taste in her mouth. Great job by her and the team to finally slay the giant.

You have to keep in mind a couple things.
1. Oswego is finally playing like the Lakers most of us thought they would have been the past 2 seasons (mostly healthy).
2. Plattsburgh not having Hermans on the D is a loss, but having to play Engvall against a speedy Oswego team is more of a liability than dropping to 5 D IMO. He is not fast enough for DIII. Improved over last year, but the Buff State game he was out of position on 2 of the Plattsburgh goals, Fredonia got off 3 shots in front of the net before he was able to find the puck and clear the net (he was in the **** slot and still couldn't get there in time) and again last night.
3. Brady would be a starter on most DIII teams, but he is NOT Spencer Finney. Spenc covered up a lot of Defensive mistakes. I would have loved to have seen Davies play last night after what I saw against Fredonia.
4. Penalties, Penalties, Penalties....warranted or not, they are killing Plattsburgh, both for and against. Plattsburgh for years has been a 5 on 5, roll 4 lines, and use their speed to wear teams down. When you are either on the power play and or killing a penalty you can't get in the rotation. I mean lets face it, Plattsburgh had all of 2 real power plays last night, and when it's already 1-4 it's not the same as 1-1 or 0-0. You're just not getting the same emotion.
5. Keeping with regards to penalties, 38th on the Penalty Kill. 45th on the Power Play. Just not going to cut it.

Sorry I know this is an Oswego thread, but while a win over Plattsburgh is always fun, I don't think it carries the same merit as say last year would have (and that's even stretching it). Plattsburgh at this point is a mid-pack SUNYAC team who will be lucky to find home ice come February.

Well you know what... after losing three straight overtime games against them I don't care. I'll take a win any way we can get it, especially on their ice. Just feels good....
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

Ok, maybe I had few drinks in me when I said we should be # 1. I will take 2/3, with some first place votes. I win against Plattsburgh is never easy, rebuilding year or not.
I don't think the big line scored against Platt. That is going to happen once and awhile. With Neil, Huls & Bott on the same line. The question I had, could the other lines do enough in the games the big line comes out flat? It looks like they can. I was very critical of Waterstreet last year at times. He has been very good in the 3rd/4th line center roll. The seniors are on a Mission and defense is better.
We shouldn't look to far ahead, but..... The Holiday tournaments will see elite level competition, this team looks ready for them.
