Re: St Lawrence Hockey
On the one side, the team (Clarkson) that outworked and outhustled the other won this game. On the flip side the Saints missed so many wide open nets they probably should have won this game 5-4.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
While we all miss Joe......losing this game has nothing to do with him not being there. We have a coaching staff (right now) that I would not switch with any team in the ECAC. With all the experience Coach Carvel and Coach Hurlbut have at the college and NHL level.....no other team in the ECAC can match that. Given what we (and they) have to deal with, I think they will make the most of it and the team and program is in GREAT hands. No one is going to replace Joe, but we have the best there is and I like the fact we are keeping it in the family.
As to looking awful.......I only was able to listen to parts of the game and I'll agree it was disappointing. It's a league game, playing at home, opportunity for a milestone win for the program against our biggest rival.....and they come out flat. I've said this in the past and I'll say it again. When your talent is not the best in the country let alone the league.....and with all the parity in the ECAC....you cannot play a 20 minute game or a forty minute game; you have to play a 60 minute game. And even if you are up.....you have to put your foot on the other teams neck and keep on pushing. It's got to be there from the start to the finish and it wasn't that way tonight.
I'm sure they feel bad now.....but I hope they know how much that game meant to us fans, alumni, supporters, and long time followers of the program. A very disappointing evening to be sure.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
I agree...It's just disappointing when you are home against your biggest rival and one win shy of the 1000th in program history and we come out like that...Very frustrating indeed...The whole getting outworked thing is becoming all too common lately for this team...We never used to see this from the team as we were always the hardest working bunch of the league...They need a fire lit under them and I would have bet my last dollar that tonight would have been the night, but alas to no avail...Oh well, nothing we can do about it now...On to Lake Placid and Clarkson again on Saturday night.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
We don't appear to be in sync as a whole. Feels to me from limited sample that forwards are freelancing too much. Missing that coordinated and effective swarming forechecking and cycling that we have always done so well. D often seem afraid to join rush. BU has a lot of talent on the blue line so may be unfair to compare but gotta love the way their d men initiate and join play.
Total confidence in coaches. Hopefully the boys will buy in and start playing disciplined, aggressive hockey and make some noise.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
I agree with you -----This team and this style of hockey is not fun to watch anymore .With two of the top scorers in the country ,and to get taken to the woodshed like this ?????? Clarkson is a well coached team and he gets them up for the game. They deserved to win last night.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
Wondering if someone could help me out here; what years did SLU have a pep band?
Thanks and look forward to seeing everyone in Lake Placid this weekend.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
Definitely late '80s and early '90s, probably other years too. Played in the box above the north end of Appleton. They weren't big, but they sounded good. Nice if they could come back.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
There were a few times in the late 90's and early 2000's (If I remember correctly) where we had local high school band at the arena playing for us. I remember this because I had a couple friends in the band at the time. This was only a couple random games from time to time.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
Brian Ward of Tri-City Storm has committed to SLU for fall of next year.
In 18 games this year, he has a 10g-9a-16PIM line. 6'1, 197 lb forward. 3rd leading scorer on a .500 team. Sounds like a good one to pick up!
In other news for Tri-City, Tim Lappin (Nick Lappin's cousin) has also committed to Bruno. Excellent choice by him choosing that hockey powerhouse!

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
Uh, did I stumble onto the Maine thread by mistake? What's next, "Fire Carvvay?" In fairness, I have to admit that I was not pleased either with what I saw on the internet--our team did lose--but what I also saw was Farkson taking advantage of a few chances, and SLU missing more than a few. Sigh.
Re: St Lawrence Hockey
I called the St. Lawrence ticket office today (I realize quite late as the game is tomorrow) to check and see if there were two tickets available for the game tomorrow in Lake Placid. I was informed that we were given sections 3-11 which a very large chunk of the arena and that there were only 2 tickets left in separate spots. Fortunately, I was able to obtain 2 tickets through the Olympic Center box office, but this looks like we should be expecting a large St. Lawrence fan turnout tomorrow night. Good news indeed! Let's get this ship sailing in the right direction ... Let's Go Saints!!!

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
Maybe so and I hope you are right (regarding Ward). Curious to know why he left Dartmouth last year early without much playing time if any? So, does he come in as a freshman or sophomore?Brian Ward of Tri-City Storm has committed to SLU for fall of next year.

I think Heisenberg noted he would be a sophomore. If you google him there is an article that said he got injured and missed a lot of the season. Probably too late to break into the lineup when he recovered. Sounds like a great pickup for the Saints.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
He comes in as a sophomore and I think he is a great pickup. He injured his back at Dartmouth and then didn't really get a chance to get back in the lineup but he is a very solid recruit. He was MVP at Governor Dummer or whatever they call it now and is better than a point per game in the USHL. He has good size and speed and was rated as high as 91 by CSB in the 2010 draft. Welcome aboard. Seems like a classy kid too. Didn't badmouth the coaches at Dartmouth and instead talked about learning a valuable lesson of needing to work harder than guys in the lineup.
Who wouldn't miss Joe Marsh. I bet Carvy and Hurley miss him. But this staff is extremely competent and will turn the program into winners. I can't explain why we came out flat. The lineup was odd....no Dewey, Thompson, etc. A new walk-on Senior playing wing. Not really tuned in so I don't know whether it was injuries or what but I agree with Mike...would not trade our staff for any other in the league. Joe Marsh hand-picked these guys and stepped aside to keep them...there is no higher compliment. We need more than two guys that can produce offense, and we can't come out flat against our arch-rivals.
I think about 30 of us gave Pete Lappin **** at the Joe Marsh weekend for his kids selecting Brown. I get Ivy's....but Brown - ***? When they are ready to transfer like their uncles, we'll take them...they are family!
@MarkArmstrong - SLU had a pretty sorry excuse for a pep band from about 83-89/90. Then I think they were given a merciful burial and replaced with speakers and the jukebox we have now. SLU is not a pep band / cheerleader type of school.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
How about the guy who used to play the keyboard back in the 90's and was situated over the zamboni doors? Just remembered that too. Man, doesn't seem that long ago, but I guess it was almost 20 years ago.

Re: St Lawrence Hockey
The coaches are top-notch and the least of our worries - they were hand-picked by Joe and that's good enough for me.
As for the recruiting, Ward does sound like a great pickup. Heisenberg also reports that Trevor Hills from the BCHL is incoming this fall. A LW from Rochester, NY, Hills has 7 goals and 12 assists in 24 games so far for the Chilliwack Chiefs.
SLU Women defeated Penn State last night 3-1.
