Oswego vs Plattsburgh 50 year old rivalry

[dmac1103]

I thought with this being the 50th year of these two teams meeting this years games deserved their own thread. November 13th 1976 was their first meeting which was a Oswego 6-2 win.

Observing the NPI I was scratching my head. Oswego has beaten two ranked teams thus far and was demoted from 9th to 18th with a 15% for SOS.
Geneseo has a 20% sos and they are ranked first. Hobart is no longer in first .
We realize it is very early in the season but this makes little sense.

I can't give you exact reasoning for why the math maths like that early on. What I can tell you, is there is not nearly enough data in it to make it relevant right now. I was told by the people that created and ran the pairwise that you really shouldn't put much stock in the rankings until closer to the end of January when there has been enough time to have enough non-conference games played and make the data statistically relevant.

Well Oswego beats the number 5 team who then moves UP to number 3..???? Fishy to me...but what do I know???...Back to The Rivalry....I would imagine that this Friday at the Ronnie B will be another rock'em sock'em tilt,Oswego needs to be disciplined and out of the box, their Pk has looked good, but no need to test it.....Not sure what Platty has btw the pipes but he had better show up as Oz is fast and furious from what I have seen so far, as for our net minding,looks good so far but means nothing,friday is put up or shut up night....Let's Go Lakers!!!!

As mentioned earlier Drafty the polls/NPI mean nothing now. It will have value after winter break.
As Al Davis famously said Just win baby.
Oswego '88

For goaltending my guess would be Beau Lane but you never know they have 3 quality goalies that could start. Plattsburgh needs to stay out of the box and manage the D rush so they don't give up too many odd man rushes. I am excited to see how the defensemen from France, Jules Delepoulle, will play against a team as good as Oswego. He has impressed me the 2 games they played and in the 2 pre season games with his skating and calmness with the puck. If any Oswego fans here are making the trip I am going to be there in Section O on the rail 190.

The day has finally arrived. Anyone know of any special ceremony for the 50th anniversary? Also let's try not to go down 4-1 this time to start the game.
