Scores of 3/3/12 - Punch that ticket or we'll C you Sunday night!!

Re: Scores of 3/3/12 - Punch that ticket or we'll C you Sunday night!!

Key to the game tonight was hustle on the side of the Cardinals. They were everywhere on the ice, sacrificing the body and blocking shots and clogged up the middle good (reminded me very much of the Neumann game). Emery with another solid piece of coaching as he took a page out of Utica and Neumann's book. You cannot try to run with Oswego especially in the years past or you will get burned. They played great "D" and that is the reason why they are 21 time SUNYAC Champ. I never expect anything less of Plattsburgh, which is why I was shocked they looked so slow and shaky a couple weeks ago. It seems like this series is always decided by a coin flip, but it always lands on the wrong side for the Lakers when they meet the Cardinals in the finals. :(

By the way I think Brockport should get a look for the Pool C bid.:cool:;)

I told you a few months ago. You bet against St. Norbert at your own peril.

Oswego was real slow and tentative after their quick start produced no results. Combine that with Plattsburgh's speed and commitment to defense and you see the end result. Oswego was actually pretty fortunate to score twice as even when they did get a chance to make something happen they just seemed a tick off
all night. They were due for an off game and unfortunately it happened against a team that
could make them really pay. Now we just put this one behind us and look towards the
ultimate goal.

Unfortunately it also seems Oswego plays a different game then what they played during the regular season when it comes to important games.

Re: Scores of 3/3/12 - Punch that ticket or we'll C you Sunday night!!

Mdmadison, they were definitely not themselves tonight and stuck in quick sand. But, they pretty much play the same style game every time they step on the ice. Platty took advantage of our tentativeness and just hustled more to the loose pucks. I thought the defense was okay and nothing to really worry about there. The only problem I had was the inability to get the puck moving in the offensive zone and on net. You can win too many games with few shots like that, and they still almost pulled it out.
 
Re: Scores of 3/3/12 - Punch that ticket or we'll C you Sunday night!!

ok finally got to read what I thought I watched, they got out hustled and got what they got ....the Cards were/are on to how to stop our PP, they clog the middle and block shots inside,also Cadeux, was wise to the cross ice pass at the top of the umbrella and was there to stop all but whitelaws shot,I think they may want to look at working down low as other teams may have figured that out....congrtas to platty and their fans, and I was NOT at the game so it was NOT me fighting,hope nothing to big happened......I guess we have Elmira in a week,and we will here the old "its hard to beat a team 3x in a season" quote, well we will see about that, Elmira is talented and have a great bunch of seniors who show up for sure, NOTHING like the first 2 games this yr I am sure......hi ho hi ho its off to bed I go ..I think Hobart got jobbed as well......

Are you planning on being in Lake Placid if Oswego gets there?

I think the "it's hard to beat a team three times in a season" philosophy doesn't really apply in this case. Those games were the first two games in the season, so both teams are so different now. They were nonconference games, so you really don't know how much experimenting both coaches were using those games for.

Personally, I'm paying no credence to what happened way back in October between these two teams. And I would think both coaches are instilling the same thoughts in their players.

Between you and me, you can blame the wife. In public, definitely blame RIT ... especially if your wife knows a good divorce lawyer.

More likely NU vs. Platty with the edge to Norwich because of the Irish coach

NCAA.com will be streaming the finals and semi finals from Lake Placid.
Some airlines now have the availability of wifi on their full size planes - for that info check your airline. If you are in the air during the time the game is played, and you are willing to pay 10 bucks or so for internet connectivity and your airline has it, you are good to go.
