Re: Plattsburgh State Hockey 2012-13 - Season 24

I guess I should have known that. I called Morrisville athletic dept. they say the game should be live online. I only got concerned because their website only shows live stats. Not live video at this time. Hopefully it will be on.

Cardinals take advantage with power-play goals {Article courtesy of the Plattsburgh Press-Republican 1/19/2013}

Plattsburgh State spent much of Friday’s first period on the power play, but it was during a penalty kill that the Cardinals got on the board.

Connor Gorman scored a short-handed goal late in the first period to put the Cardinals ahead, and they went on to a 4-1 victory over Morrisville in SUNY Athletic Conference men’s hockey.

No. 9 Plattsburgh received four power plays in the first 16 minutes of the game, including one on a five-minute major penalty by the Mustangs. Coach Bob Emery said the Cardinals (12-5-1, 7-1-1 SUNYAC) were getting some great looks but couldn’t put the puck in.

Then Gorman netted an unassisted goal at 18:00 during a Plattsburgh penalty.

The Cardinals’ power play did get going after that. Kevin Emmerling scored during the man advantage in the second period, and Luke Baleshta potted a power-play goal in the third period, making it a 3-1 game.

Plattsburgh has scored seven power-play markers in its last five games.

“I think guys are shooting the puck more,” Emery said. “I think that’s real important — get the puck to the net — because most goals are rebounds, deflections.”

Patrick Jobb had an empty-netter with one second to play for his first goal of the season. Jared Docking earned two assists, giving him nine points in his last five games. Baleshta also had an assist in the game.

Mathieu Cadieux stopped 19 of the 20 shots he faced in the Plattsburgh net.

Emery said the Cardinals played pretty well in their own end.

“We gave up a couple Grade A scoring chances, but for the most part we kept the Grade A chances to a minimum, and that’s so important,” he said.

Anthony Scornaienchi scored Morrisville’s goal 1:28 into the third period. Christopher Azzano made 34 saves for the Mustangs (1-15-2, 1-8-0).

The Cardinals, who played their first conference game since Dec. 1, are tied with Geneseo for second place in the SUNYAC, 1 point behind Oswego.

“We’re back into SUNYAC play and guys gotta realize our primary goal is to win the SUNYAC regular-season championship, so every game is huge,” Emery said. “It’s almost like every game has to have a playoff mentality if the goal is to win the regular season and not have any hiccups. We gotta take one game at a time. Everybody’s talking about the (Feb. 16) showdown at the end of the season with Oswego, but there’s a lot of hockey left between now and then.”

PSU hockey teams enter stretch run {Article courtesy of the Plattsburgh Press-Republican 1/22/2013}

With the 2012-13 hockey season bearing down on the month of February can March Madness be far behind?

Plattsburgh State enters the stretch run this weekend with an eye toward improving its lot for the postseason. The Cardinal men (12-5-1) have seven games left in the regular season while the women (16-0-1) are down to eight contests.

The men, 7-1-1 in conference play, remain one point behind Oswego (8-1) and two in back of Geneseo (8-1-1) in the State University of New York Athletic Conference, but with plenty of time left to make a move toward the top. The Cardinals will host Geneseo (Feb. 8) and Oswego (Feb. 16). All seven of Plattsburgh’s remaining games are conference tests.

The women, 9-0-0 in ECAC West, are two points in back of Elmira (10-2-0); however, the Cardinals are in the drivers’ seat with three games in hand and a big weekend sweep of the Soaring Eagles. Seven of the Cardinals’ eight games will be against West foes, and and five against teams with a combined record of 9-19-1. Utica College, which will visit Stafford Arena Feb. 2-3, is the only West rival left with a winning record (6-3-1).

Kevin Houle’s Cardinals, who are ranked No. 1 in the U.S. College Hockey Online poll for the seventh week in a row, will face their only non-conference battle on Jan. 30 when Middlebury comes to town. The Panthers, ranked fifth at 10-2-2, perhaps pose the biggest challenge to the Cardinals from now to the finish.

Bob Emery’s Cardinals, who defeated Morrisville State, 4-1, on Friday, stayed No.9 in the latest men’s Div. III rankings. They will host North Country neighbor Potsdam on Friday before venturing to Buffalo and Fredonia for their final road tests of the season.

The sky’s the limit for the enigmatic Cardinals who can look like world-beaters one night and also-rans the next. If anything, they know how keep up the interest.

Jensen making smooth transition to defense {Article courtesy of the Plattsburgh Press-Republican 1/25/2013}

Nick Jensen was pressed into emergency duty as a defenseman in December when Plattsburgh State’s blueliners were hit by the injury bug.

The experiment worked out so well, he’s been back there the last three games, even though all the defensemen have been healthy.

Jensen said he had “never ever” been a defenseman before this season, but he’s settling into his new position.

“It’s good. It’s fun,” the junior from Helsingborg, Sweden said. “It’s a bit different, but I like it so far.”

The ninth-ranked Cardinals (12-5-1) host Potsdam tonight for a SUNY Athletic Conference men’s hockey game.

The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Jensen is usually one of Plattsburgh’s top forwards — he was second on the team in scoring last year. He first played defense Dec. 1, 2012, against Oswego, when Plattsburgh only had five healthy defensemen. Coach Bob Emery said he chose Jensen to fill in because he thought his style of play would fit well there.

“Nick is the best 50/50 guy we have on the team,” Emery said. “He doesn’t lose a lot of battles, and he’s really good along the wall.

“At forward, I gotta admit he wasn’t overly physical. And for a guy his size, he’s playing much more physical on defense, so we get an extra attribute from him that we didn’t really get as a forward.”

Jensen moved back up front the next game. But Emery was unhappy with the Cardinals’ defensive play after a weekend split against Skidmore and Castleton Jan. 4 and 5, and he put Jensen back on the blue line the next game, scratching three defensemen instead of the usual two. Emery has benched several upperclassman blueliners for one game each over the last three games.

“I think he’s just trying to shake things up, maybe get some guys going,” sophomore defenseman Brandon Beadow said. The defense “started off the year well, and I don’t think it will be a problem for us to play like that again.”

Jensen said playing in the back has been an adjustment.

“Mostly I have to think about what’s behind me now,” he said. “Before, I had a couple guys I could count on. Now I’m one of the guys behind them making the decisions, and it’s a little bit different.”

Emery said Jensen still has some things to learn but has made a quick transition, and Beadow agreed that the new defenseman has played well.

“It’s nice to have him back there,” Beadow said. “Big guy, big stick, got a lot of range; moves his feet, so he gets up the ice real quick.”

Jensen is sixth on the team with 11 points (four goals, seven assists), and during his stint on defense he has recorded two assists. He said he can still be part of the offense.

“I get to do a little bit of both now,” he said. “I join the rush as it suits me. Luckily I’m a decent skater, so I get to catch up once in a while, so that’s good.”

Jensen practiced with the defense this week. Emery said he wasn’t sure how long Jensen will stay back there and that he would reassess things on Monday.

“I’m taking it a game at a time, too,” Jensen said. “Just improving every day and trying to do my best.”
