I also kind of read into it with yes he was rattled, but we didn't help him much either.
We did tonight and in turn he helped us get the win.

True, but if he would have let in a soft one the game would have been completely different. Really that is all I was saying all week. he hasn't played bad, but when you give up a softy it changes everything.

Honestly, I think if a team lets down that much because of a "softy" they aren't very mentally tough in the first place.
He proved the rotation we've got going likely should and will continue, both of them can get the job done and I wouldn't be surprised if we see it all year if they keep it up.
 
Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread

Like I've been saying all along-Motzko is a genius to play Lee on Fridays. Lee is our saviour. Play him every Friday. What's the big deal, anyway?

If both continue to play like this it should continue all year. I would assume come playoff time he will have to pick one?

No kidding! FTLT, will you finally accept that Lee is still a good goalie and should continue to get starts?

Seriously though, it's great to see the kid put together an entire game and not give up that critical goal. This is the type of perforamce we needed out of Lee and based on the quote that TB posted from Motzko I think we would've seen Dunn next Friday had Lee made a couple mistakes again. C'mon boys, go get that sweep!
 
Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread

Something tells me that tonights game for the Huskies is kind of a turning point. A win and we will be officially on a roll (albeit a small one,) a loss and we are back in the land of obscurity and mediocrity.

I know it is early in the year, but it is in my opinion an important early test for the guys.

Here is hoping we join the upper echelon in the WCHA tonight.

On more thing. I just want to send out a big Hello to Don Lyons. I always love how he has to bring up how he hates these message boards, but funny he always seems to know what is being said on here.:D

He probably has an account.
 
Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread

So did Dunn totally blow this game? Does Lee deserve to start on Fridays? Should he get the full-time job? Inquiring minds want to know. :p
 
Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread

Dunn might want 1 or two of those back, who knows? Shots were 33-19. The big problem for St. Cloud was like 9 minutes of consecutive power play and diddly to show for it. That gave Wisco a big boost. You cannot get outshot 2-1 and hope to win a lot of games. Goalies may steal a game for you if the others team's goalie has an off night, but those other teams usually have pretty decent netminders too.

Maybe not even then, DU won the title rotating and I know I've seen at least one other team Maine I think make the title game using a rotation.
Didn't see it, so I have no idea how Dunn did last night.
Sounds like the D didn't play very well though from what I've read.
And on the Mitchell goal, reading the accounts it sounds like Lasch got manhandled by a guy a lot larger than he was, not sure how "good" backchecking would have fixed it.

Lasch is pathetic in the defensive end. He tried to hustle back and then let the guy skate all way down and shoot from 5 feet away. All he needed to do was tie the guy up and at the least hall him down and take a penalty. If he is not capable of that he has zero chance of ever playing in the show. He is bar non the worst defensive forward I have ever seen in my life. Is there any way to find out what his career +/- is? The guy has what 150 career points and if I had to guess his +/- is less than +5 which is pathetic for a guy with that many points.

Again I haven't seen it, but you do realize Mitchell is 6'5" 225 to Lasch's 5'7" 175?
Probably not an easy task to haul him down.
Lasch is +2, but to be fair, the career leaders on this squad are Marvin (+11), Hepp (+7) and Gaudet (+6) and no one else is above a +4.

The bigger they are the harder they fall. he could have tripped him up since he caught him from behind. If you are not strong enough to trip a 6'5 guy you have zero shot at the show.

As for the +/-, that is pathetic for a guy with that many points. It tells me two things. One, he doesn't score enough 5 on 5 points and he is a huge defensive liability. What are the overall +/- for other big scorers in school history?

edit: This type of play is why this team is inconsistant and is never going to be beter than a middle of the pack team unless this crap changes. This team never does the little things on a consistant basis. how in the F##K can you be a career +2 with 150 points?

Most of the guys at the top of +/- all played together
Hartigan +41
Dicasmirro +40
Malone +32
Motzko +25
Arnason +29
Sampair +34

Only guy recently to come near it was Gordon at a +29
Nodl was a +10, Roe is a -5, Jensen was a -5.
We've been a PP dominated team for a long time.

I also wouldn't bet against Lasch not making it simply because he isn't great defensively.
Yes he made a mistake, oh well.
You really need to calm down, it's a game.

I am calm.:) This team doesn't do the little things and that is why they can't get over the hump. Lasch has played on two NCAA teams, so it's not like he hasn't palyed on decent teams.. think about once. Arnason was a +29 and all Dahl could say is how lazy he was and he didn't hustle.:eek: If he doesn't hustle what do you call what Lasch is doing?:D

You must be a hockey mastermind.....

Do you realize when you back check you pick up the forward without the puck? It is the defensmen's job to play the puck carrier, and the forwards job to pick up the trailer (F3). The reason why you don't see Lasch looking like he is back checking is because he is always F1 in the offensive zone. F3 is always going to be your backchecker. Ryan is always in the corners doing the dirty work, so he is expected to pick up the defensemen trailing the play. I think he does just fine.

What is the penalty for a student athlete having a first offense alchohol violation?
 
Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread

scsutommyboy:

I really did not want to post, but after your display of lack of knowledge of the game i felt compelled to. This coming from someone who is close to the team, so i know what im talking about.

On mitchell's goal Raboin started it by turning the puck over at the blueline. Lasch had nothing to do with the play until he hustled back and caught up to Mitchell where he then was just out muscled. Once again if you look at our D over the past few years it has been very suspect which would note why our forwards Plus minus is so bad because we cant get it out of the DEFENSIVE ZONE!!
On top of that when your an offensive player and your down by 1 with a minute to go and your goalie is pulled usually there is a chance where you get scored on 70% of the time. which would mean minus 1.

Another good point mentioned by someone already. Lasch is usually the first forchecker meaning F1 that means he in on the puck in the corners swarming. On a turnover F3 takes the high guy and back checks him while the orginal F1 make sure he has his D man on the way up, so I believe he is back checking just fine and doing his Job. Thanks for your conern though.!

Another note the past four season this team has predominantly lived or died off their PP. Weve rarely had 5 on 5 goals, but when we do guess whos leading the way Lasch with 5.

So in conclusion i think you should have a banned for a week because you dont know one thing about hockey.
