Plattsburgh State Hockey 13-14 Season 25

Re: Plattsburgh State Hockey 13-14 Season 25

Interesting and maybe add that Chewy didn't look the same since the D1 transfer rode into town. He was still pretty solid but there were a few goals , down the stretch, he'd like back. All interesting side bars but in reality this years story is complete unless it becomes a real fairy tale opportunity.

Still holding out hope for a Pool C, but I do realize that the chances are incredibly slim, so here are my thoughts on this season:

I find it amusing that the struggles for this team (ie the losses) seemed to start in the second semester, which is when we got Nick Jensen, arguably the most talented player on the team, back from injury. Did his re-entry into the lineup affect the team's chemistry, especially on the blue line? Only the players on the team could possibly know. I'm certainly not saying that Kensen shouldn't have played, but maybe there was a way to better ease him back intot he lineup so he didn't suddenly change the atmosphere? But who am I to comment? I have no idea what went on in the locker room or on the practice ice.

I would want to call Jensen the most significant injury of the season, but the evidence shows that the team was getting results without him. No, I'd say the 2 most significant injuries this season for the Cardinals were the 2 that lost us key freshmen down the stretch. Hermans, which completely shut down the Powerplay, and Mason, which cost us an exceptionally talented 2-way forward. Who knows how those Oswego games might have gone of we'd had Hermans instead of Kaye, or mason instead of Farnan or Popp? Who knows...

A key part of the elevated expectations going into this season was last year's performance by the Freshmen. I thought the sophomore defensemen upheld their end of the bargain for the most part, although Grace and Puglisi were always going to be hard to replace. For the forwards, Fox and Gorman kept pace with last season, and Radisa had an unexpectedly fantastic sophomore year, but Emmerling and Baleshta had markedly mediocre production compared to their star performances in their freshman year. Here's hoping that they find that majic again in their junior season!

All in all, 19-5-2 is not a bad season by any means. It just seems that way because it appeared, going into the season, that we would have the offensive output to get things done, and the goaltending necessary to win it all. Chewy showed that he was still among the best goaltender's in DIII, but low-scoring games lead to pressure on the defense, which caused costly defensive turnovers and other errors, and that cost us some key games. That's a tough way to fall short of your goals, for sure.

good season for platty so far,they have a chance at a bid, never know,and if they get in goaltending could be the difference maker..as for injuries we all have them, oswego lost their 2nd leading scorer a month ago with a thrashed knee out for the season and played without another top player in hulshof,then lost adams their best player b4 the semis as well vs platty and still won without 2 top guys,i think it shows the oswego depth ...**** happens ..good luck tonight....ps you have a ton of talent coming back next yr and with another D1 transfer goalie waiting in the wings..

Bob was pretty candid in his final Blueline Report.... I hadn't watched any of the other programs, but it seems he was frustrated with this team. I've also never heard him that critical of the NCAA selection process...

Heck, this is the first time I can recall him being critical about it at all immediately following a season, which is pretty amazing for a guy whose very successful program has received all of two at-large berths since he began coaching in '89. His candor is appreciated; he has clear opinions on the process, but doesn't badmouth the committee or throw around conspiracy theories. An interesting watch.

That's really a shame. As excellent as Carr is, Cadieux should be the 1st teamer. It's also probably going to cost him 1st team All-American, which was between him and Murray of Babson.
 
Re: Plattsburgh State Hockey 13-14 Season 25

And you thought Plattsburgh not getting the Pool C bid was a joke... THIS is an insult to Chewy and the Plattsburgh State hockey!
 
Re: Plattsburgh State Hockey 13-14 Season 25

I feel Cadieux was robbed of first team goalie and I also feel Eddie was robbed of coach of the year. Carr has some stellar performances but the consistency is just not there for me. As for Eddie, 24 newcomers on the team, three games of goaltending experience, beat your top rival on the road in back to back weekends and win the SUNYAC title on the road and Schultz takes a pretty veteran team and does what it was expected to do and wins coach of the year. I think he won it over Bob last year which was also a joke.

If this is what was expected from Geneseo, and Oswego overachieved, why was Oswego predicted to finish ahead of Geneseo in the preseason poll?

2013-14 SUNYAC Men's Ice Hockey Pre-Season Poll
1. Plattsburgh
2. Oswego
3. Geneseo
4. Buffalo St.
5. Fredonia
6. Brockport
7. Potsdam
8. Cortland
8. Morrisville

I would have had no problem voting for Gosek, but based on where everyone was projected to finish Geneseo was the only team that overachieved this year.

This is a regular season award (I realize the timing makes it seem otherwise.) So you have to pull the last 3 wins and the postseason title out of your argument.

In the regular season Geneseo was 14-2 and Oswego was 10-5-1 and Geneseo was 2-0 versus the Lakers. Considering that Oswego had 24 newcomers to the team I think an argument can still be made for Gosek, but I'd imagine most people would go with the coach that won the regular season title after being predicted to finish 3rd in the pre-season.

Great win on Saturday and congrats!! Hopefully, we'll get one more game against you guys :D:)

Re: Plattsburgh State Hockey 13-14 Season 25

Oswego was overrated based on their name and their history, in the preseason not on what the roster actually looked like. Geneseo did not overachieve this year, maybe finishing ahead of Plattsburgh was a bit of overachieving but you could see their team building to where they are now, it's not like they came out of nowhere. Oswego was pegged by most to win 14-15 games and not make it past the SUNYAC semi's but they did, they hit some snags but righted the ship, even in the SUNYAC finals the wheels came off but they were able to put the brakes on and get it done. Schultz is a good coach who did a great job of building his team over four years, I am not taking that away from him, I just think Eddie did more with less of a foundation to build off of. Eddie has won it a couple of times with a Senior laden team so I suppose I can't complain too much.

I was getting the same post and set of statistics together. This seems like an easy choice to me. I just don't see how anyone that saw both goaltenders and looked at the stats could possibly have put Carr ahead of Cadieux. Too bad for Chewy. Another case of he deserved better... Must be some shade secondary criteria that we weren't aware of in the voting...
 
Re: Plattsburgh State Hockey 13-14 Season 25

For Carr to be getting the First team the decision must have been made in a smoked filled room along with Platty's no-bid. . Yes he is a very good net minder but not Chewy league or Hare's of last year who was 3rd behind Carr. Spywood thanks for the stats between the two.
