Plattsburgh State Hockey 2015-16 - Bob's 27th work in progress ...

Re: Plattsburgh State Hockey 2015-16 - Bob's 27th work in progress ...

Standing tall after the Primelink Tournament is Plattsburgh, who technically beat Middlebury and tied Norwich in Northfield, Vt., but won the tournament in the second overtime session 6-5.

Last I checked it's still a win, so "technically" Plattsburgh beat Norwich in Northfield, Vt. and won the tournament in the one and only overtime......and people wonder why jokes are made at the "reporting"....

This reporter needs to research before speaking....very poor journalism !! The Primelink site had all the needed information about the overtime format, and even if it was a regular OT...the winning goal was scored at the 4:15 mark !!!

Probably part of the problem came from the error in the original stats.

It has now been fixed but still point remains.

Amidst a valiant comeback by Norwich, it would take just one goal to render it insufficient, and Plattsburgh's Dillan Fox was up to the task. With 45 seconds remaining in OT, Baleshta fed Fox, who buried the game-winner to give the Cardinals the extra session win and the Primelink Shootout title.

They meant 45 seconds of a regulation overtime, not this ;)

BTW, it looks very much like this.

norm, your attention to detail and your ability to reference your points should be an inspiration to all Journalism students. Perhaps you should become an Adjunct Prof @ P'Burg.:)

I brought this to Ray's attention, he plans to fix it. I agree with him: I wish they would have some way of noting it in the box score.

Completely outplayed for the first 2 periods. Couldn't complete a pass for anything. Came to life in the 3rd, but it wasn't enough. Get the W tomorrow in Geneseo, and 3pts is NOT a bad result on this particular road trip.

EDIT: apparently, autocorrect thought I was talking about golf

Well, just back from the west and it wasn't the outcome I had hoped for. Having said that, I still feel pretty good going into second semester 8-1-1. Lots of hockey to be played yet, several home games at that and also injuries given time to heal. All will be good in the Cardinal nest.:)
 
Re: Plattsburgh State Hockey 2015-16 - Bob's 27th work in progress ...

The Geneseo loss doesn't hurt as bad as a tie to Brockport. But once again, Cards go down 0-2 early in a game only to come back. This time there just wasn't enough time to make another come back. The loss of Emmerling in the Geneseo game was beyond huge. (I still want to see the replay of that "charge"). We can debate the "officiating" on the weekend till we are blue in the face, but you just can't put yourself in those positions. The game winner Saturday night was simply a seeing eye shot that Finny had zero chance on.

8-1-1 with the Lake Ontario and Rochester trips out of the way is decent news. The Lake Erie trip at the end of January will have its challenge, and by no means is Plattsburgh in the drivers seat. The biggest thing will be how Plattsburgh rebounds after their first loss. I've always been a firm believer in its not how you win, but how you come back after a loss (see Potsdam). Some tough NC road games coming up. I'm not sure we've yet to see Plattsburgh play a full 60 minute game, but they CAN NOT keep doing this "come from behind" first period slop we've come all to familiar with. The offence has been a pleasant surprise, but in doing so has sacrificed the defense. Speaking of defense, with all due respect, Engvall should not see the ice anymore until he can get up to DIII speed. His big body, reach, and hard shot does NOT out weigh his skating liability. His lack of ability to recover was a direct result in a few goals scored in both the Oswego game and Geneseo game (and that doesn't count the amount of saves that have bailed him out on more). Unless Taff or Ragone are injured, Engvall needs to be in the stands until his feet catch up with the game. I like the heart of the team coming back so many times, which is why I'm not overly concerned about the loss. But Plattsburgh can not "give away" points in the second half now. Geneseo is right there, Oswego starting to make a push, Potsdam has/had a decent goaltender, and still have the Fredonia/Buff St trip.

With the rest of DIII having a "down" year, 8-1-1 is still a great record to end the 1st semester with. It ends on a sour note, but it could be just what Plattsburgh needs to flip that switch we normally don't see till they are down 0-2.....

You may be right. Taff is injured I heard so hopefully he will be back soon along with forward, O'Quinn, injured. Yes, need to tighten up on D. but like you said, this team has a lot of heart and skill as we know. I think they will take their loss, suck it up and move on when they return on New Year's Day. Side note, Emerling was a BIG loss to the team on Saturday in MHO.
