No, the quote was that after the first line "they are a very ordinary team and not as deep as Plattsburgh or Geneseo up front". Proven by avg point per game (as ill explain later why point per game ****#1).
Hey you got one.
Boy IDK 2nd in the SUNYAC with still a chance at first with one of the youngest Cardinal teams ever that's only got better and better as the seasons gone on. And we all know Oswegos track record compared to Plattsburghs in games that COUNT....but go on....
Ummm that was the whole original question/point ....
And I did check out the second line....and while a tad better, Plattsburghs 3rd and 4th lines are night and day better then Oswego's.....next
**#1 No its not. Its very relevant. Plattsburgh has been juggling lines all season. Guys in and out of the line up players can not get into a groove. That's huge. More games = More points. Thus giving them much LARGER numbers. Hense the reason i used avg. points per game. Still with me here?
Gentlemen? Are we going to have tea time too? Talk about irrelevant....2007 and number of players? Umm okay? I wonder why they only have 24 players hmmmm not enough aid to give out...opps did I say that?!?!? A coach going into a season with over a dozen seniors should have had a few more recruits...hmmmm

Also, if you doubt the depth of Oswego's bench, look back to the first game of the year against Genny, where 'wego scored 10 goals from 10 different goal-scorers. That Genny team defeated Platty just one week afterwards.
It was actually two weeks buts who's counting.....and yes that same Platty team who went on to BEAT Oswego TWO weeks later. (see I check my stats before I spew).
And Oswego scored one...whats your point?? No one said Oswegos defense was dirt poor, but when teams come at them a-la Utica/Plattsburgh they cough up mistakes.
Of which the breakaway...nothing to do with the defense? McConney plays what? Oh thats right defense. GO FIGURE! Brenton pressed the high point, McConney couldn't handle the pass and pressure and coughed it up....NEXT!
I was trying to be nice. No not really. I think Hare is a decent goaltender, and does bail his team out. Tho the missplay during the Morrisville game was not good. He's not Marty B. Carr has taken a small step back this year.
And with out a doubt its been more thr play of the freshmen as the bright spot. What Plattsburgh is doing with 11/12 regular freshman and a banged up defense is pretty impressive.
No actually it was tied thanks to the cheap shot at the end of the game and the missed hit from behind/boarding :10 seconds into the game on Grace which knocked him out for a period and could have been longer. Plattsburgh was also missing 3 defensive starters that night and scrambled putting Nick Jensen on D for his first time EVER.
And its very possible that Oswego will go home with nothing but another dissapointing season with no hardware WHEN IT COUNTS......AGAIN.....see at Plattsburgh we worry more about Championships then some regular season wins. Plattsburgh wins when it counts....Oswego....not so much....
Game. Set. Match.
You're seeing the stats you want to see and ignoring the stats you don't like. There's a reason that Oswego is ranked #2 in the country right now while Platty remains mired in 9th. There's a reason that Oswego's win percentage is higher than Plattsburgh's right now. There's a reason the KRACH ratings favor Oswego over Plattsburgh 75% to 25%. I'm not saying that Platty isn't a good team, they're a great team. Could they win? Sure. But any reasonable and unbiased look at the stats show Plattsburgh as the underdog.
And gloating over that 2-1 "blowout" last semester really doesn't do much for you. If Plattsburgh was as superior as you claim they are, they should've destroyed Oswego 5-0. It took Chewy standing on his head and channeling his inner Brodeur for Platty to win that game and they should build a statue of Chewy in front of plattsburgh's barn for that performance.
The two teams are very evenly matched and it could go either way. If Oswego wins it'll likely by by 2, 3 or even 4 goals. If Plattsburgh wins, it'll likely be 2-1 or 1-0.
