Re: SLU 2009-2010 Season
I'll be in a different frame of mind driving to Albany today. The last 2 trips - the 'year of the blizzard' and last year's shocker (I'm still not quite over that one) I expected to win a championship. This year, I didn't expect to be going at all!
Congratulation to the '09-'10 Saints for proving - once again - that the whole is often greater than the sum of its parts.
Safe trip for those travelling to Albany -and for the fans who can't make it - we'll cheer extra loud for you.
GO SAINTS!

Heading out of the city momentarily to get a half day of skiing in (61 and sun, shouldn't be too bad
) and then continue up to Albany. See everybody there tonight. I think afterwards my Dad and I are going to head down Pearl St. and find a sports bar to watch the Syracuse/UVM game if anybody else is interested.

Oh I was definitely a student . . . of what I didn't say.
See you this afternoon everyone!!!
You were a "student." First time I ever heard that. I couldn't resist busting on you.

Jillians Night Club, we had a good time there a few years back with a few Saints fans from these forums

Well thankfully mother nature is cooperating with the weather today. We all remember the blizzard year, thank God this is not going to be one of them. Well seniors thank you for all of the excitement, you've given all of us some great memories, seasons, and games that will be talked about for years to come. Go out there this weekend and take care of business. You truly earned all of the success that you have had. Safe travels everyone, I can't wait to get in the Jeep and get going. Should be a gorgeous drive to Albany. I find it somewhat odd that it will for once be colder inside the arena than outside. But that's ok, I hoping for the Saints to heat the place up. See you all soon, safe travels and GO SAINTS!

Remember that night vividly...was in Glens Falls, NY watching my HS alma mater (Gloversville) lose a heartbreaker in hoops by one point in OT in the state semis. Then, went to a nearby sports bar and went nuts when UVM won, because we had your number back then and Harvard certainly had ours. Watched the finals the next night, my only trip to the Boston Garden. That game between UVM and Harvard was a classic.

Re: SLU 2009-2010 Season
Oh, Tayt and I will be interested. He loves UVM (except in hockey) and hates the 'Cuse, and I'm a huge 'Cuse fan. And, to cut costs, we are sharing a room tonight. Will never hear the end of it if UVM wins, aka several years ago. Hope to watch the hoops game with you but not with Tayt.

Re: SLU 2009-2010 Season
Congrats on a great season Saints, you made SLU fans proud! For a team that wasn't expected to go too far you put together one hell of a run. To the seniors thank you for 4 years of great memories, good luck. Congrats to Union on a good season and hopefully you guys can get to the tourney and make some noise - could care less about Cornell. Looking forward to next year.

I'm chewing on nails right now!!!!!!!!
Boy the puck just did not bounce our way tonight. The boy's did themselves proud and played a good, spirited game. We hit a post or two........had some wonderful tips (one by McKenzie) that I don't know how Kinkaid stopped and we had some grade A chances where we just shot wide and didn't get the puck on net.
All in all I tought we carried the play for the majority of the night....yes Union played well and their defense kept some of our shots from far out, but I thought we got stronger as the game went on and although Union's body of work over the course of the season was certainly impressive; I don't think the team that played better necessarily won the game tonight.
When we were dead even we all thought an icing call was coming up on Union but instead we hit it (I guess) with a high stick so instead of icing and the faceoff going back in the Union end, it's in our end and Union scores a fluke goal that I am sure Tisi probably never saw.
I thought the officials were just adequate and I thought there were quite a few interference, elbows, and a spear that they could have called against Union that did not get whistled.
Driving home from the game tonight Tim U said a friend who was watching the game on TV said from the overhead view that Childs shot that hit the post actually looked like it went in from the overhead view but that after they came back from commercial no one said a word and they didn't show the replay again. That's just the kind of night it was.
I hope we can come out (even though it's the consolation game) and notch our 20th victory of the season tomorrow night as that would be a nice way for this classy group of seniors to wrap things up. 3 of their 4 years in Albany..an NCAA tournament appearance, and far exceeding everyone's expectations this year.
Frankly I'll be glad to see this tournament move out of Albany as we haven't had a whole lot of luck or good memories there but Atlantic City??? Every time tonight at the game when they announced anything about tickets for next years tournament in Atlantic City the whole arena booed. Fitting as although I don't like Albany.....Atlantic City sure doesn't make much sense to me.

Re: SLU 2009-2010 Season
Great game guys. I was very impressed with what SLU was able to do this season. I wish all of you the best of luck and I hope you beat Brown tomorrow. See you all next year.

Re: SLU 2009-2010 Season
Sorry guys... I tried my best to be scarlet and brown for the evening but it didn't help.
Overall, SLU had a decent year considering what everyone thought might happen. Nothing at all to be ashamed of. Good luck this afternoon against Brown.

I'd have to agree with Mike here. Unions first 2 goals came immediately after some strong play by the Saints. Even the empty netter at the end came after a flurry by SLU where Kinkaid stood tall. What impressed me the most was they never gave up and skated hard all game. In the end the Dutchmen got a few bounces and the Saints didn't.

Re: SLU 2009-2010 Season
Not much else to say. The guys made it to Albany, and yesterday they played the best game of any of the four teams. Union also played well, and I don't begrudge them the win, but it was a little deflating to see the team play so well and still lose. It was a good game, with a ton of energy and a lot of offense - despite the score.
Anyway, this team showed a lot of heart this spring, especially the seniors, who will be sorely missed. When the dust settles from this season, that Clarkson series is going to be a big piece of SLU hockey history for a long time. I'm glad the senior class had a chance to write such a good story for themselves in Appleton.
Today there's a chance to end the year with 20 wins, which would be great for the fans, great for the seniors, and a nice launching pad for next year. Good luck. If both teams play the way they did yesterday, it'll be no contest.
