1-3-1 in their last five, ever since beating Plattsburgh. And that one win was against Potsdam; not exactly something to hang your hat on...

Not much good to say, bad untimely penalties not good, ineffective PP not good, missing the net constantly not good,3 goals in 3 games not good,...I will say that to me Vassalo stands out for sure, love to have a team of Vassalos,we would not get out skated or out hustled....The captains SHG was very nice.....well no at large bid coming our way, we will have to do this the hard way, or should I say nearly impossible way.....lets finish the season strong and go from there....Let's Go Lakers !!!!....DIII did you make the game??? Thoughts????
Drafty I didn't make it. Could only watch till Genny 2nd goal. Just that discussed. They seemed to have lost any sense of discipline hockey. Shot themselves by taking a penalty with a 5 on 3. Another pen when on the PPK to give Genny a 5 on 3. I thought the goalies played good but the guys in front of him really let them down. Just to many questions at this time of the year. Looks like all team chemistry is GOOOONE.

1-3-1 in last five.
The Potsdam game gave us a brief glimmer of the "good ol' days" in the late 2000s when the goals could come in basketfulls- tick-tack-toe- BANG. Since then we have scored three goals and we let in 14 (yeah a few were empty-netters). YIKES. I don't fault the goaltenders- the guys in front of them left them hanging far too many times.
Yeah, the team seems lost most of the time. Brief spurts of intensity- mainly when we're down by two goals- but other than that not much fire. It seems if we get down one goal we're like "ah, we can come back, no problem", two goals "OK, now we gotta get back into this", three or more: "nope, we're done..". Canton, Hobart, and Geneseo all played intense, disciplined, strategic hockey games and we were no match for any of them.
Canton coach Boak came into the Deb with a plan and his team executed it for the entire game. I don't know what Mark Taylor puts in Hobart's Gatoraid but that team is 60 MINUTES OF INTENSITY. And Geneseo remembered the shutout from November and showed up prepared to avenge it. We were no match for any of them- whether they were ranked #1 or #47.
Our team has the talent, so coaching, leadership, and discipline have to be suspect at this point. Yelling at the refs doesn't get you very far.
So we're left again with having to run the SUNYAC to get in. The common wisdom is "we're going to have to knock off Hobart", but at this point there's real uncertainty that we will make it that far.
On the bright side- it's very cool that we finally get the excellent live WTOP broadcast (with replays!) up on the video board at The Deb! That only took like 20 years... but worth the wait.

that just about sums it up, we have a shit ton of sophomores this yr and they have not been contributing like they did last yr...we have a hard road ahead, maybe we can pull off a Miracle on Ice and upset the champs, if we make it that far,1 goal is not going to cut it, stay disciplined boys and who knows.....Let's Go Lakers. !!!!!..ps.I dont ever remember a goalie situation like we have now????
Seeing them play every at home and away they are not handling an aggressive for check which was not a problem before. I have tried to understand what the difference is and I believe the boys are flat foot on the transition , like they are not mentally sharp. I don’t know . If I knew I would be a head coach. Maybe change up some lines , put Baker and Peone on offense. I know this we were third in the country last month and now we are out of the at large bid area. So we will just relax and watch the last four games

Puck Flattsburgh!!!
Crucial next 2 weeks as Cortland and Skidmore are right on our tails for that #2 seed. 8 team tourney now so no 1st round byes but still I'd rather have 2 home games in the playoffs. Gotta pray for a miracle in the tournament to get 3 home games.
If you beat Cortland tonight and Hobart beats them tomorrow and Plattsburgh beats Skidmore, next week becomes huge for third!

That's awesome they finally got that figured out! I will say video boards are their own beasts...you need dedicated people that know what they are doing in order to be able to run those and use them to their full capabilities. It's not something any Joe schmo can pick up and run in a matter of minutes.

Geneseo installed a nice video board a couple of years ago. But it's never used except for useless graphics. But I agree with you. Just because you install a video board doesn't mean you also have the resources to operate it properly. (I think Cortland has one, too, but also not used for much.)
