I remember the "Larries" beating BU in Boston 7-6 when BU was defending and future national champs in maybe '76. BU was first in the ECAC at the time. Not sure if BU was ranked #1 or if they even had weekly rankings then. But I'll never forget it. The Toronto Maple Leafs were staying at the same hotel and they had beaten the Bruins that evening. It was some kind of s^%& show at the hotel bar after the game culminating in Daryl Sittler physically dragging his players back to their rooms at about 3am. (reference for those not yet born in 1976: Drinking age: 18. Hockey Players-college and pro: allowed to drink).

I think tonight is the biggest win for SLU since the 2000 4OT win over BU!

What was Wisconsin ranked when we beat them in OT in 2006-2007 time frame? Wasn't RPI #1 when we beat them in 84-85 at Houston during their 36-2-1 season (20-1 in the ECAC)? I don't remember stuff like that.

I do know I really enjoyed watching SLU beat UNH who was #2 in 2002 at Whittemore.
 
Re: St Lawrence Hockey

That was one of those games where everything just clicked. Wenny was a beast all game, especially in the 3rd, the D broke up scoring chance after scoring chance. I lost track of the number of times Baker and Hughes broke up passes in the zone. Great cycling, we pinned them in their zone for much of the 2nd, and held on in the 3rd. Credit the coaches and captains for getting them up for this one. Congrats boys.
 
Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Congrats to the guys for the big win! It's going to be imperative for them not to lose focus on tonight's game. Princeton is a solid team and Bob P, will have them ready to go, especially after they lost to Clarkson last night.

If the Saints keep it going, they can come away with one heck of a road trip.

It was early in the season, so I don't know if we were moved up to #1 yet.

A well deserved congrats to you guys. After what I saw last week, I knew this was possible. Hopefully you have enough in the tank to take on Princeton. But be sure to run out for our senior night.
 
Re: St Lawrence Hockey

The only thing that concerns me is the lack of consistent scoring from anyone but the 1st line and George Hughes. They need a break and tonight would be a great time for the sophomores to strut their stuff. They've shown moments of brilliance, now's the time to put it all together.

Yeah, me too! However, as long as we are winning I'll worry about that later! Wick and Wenny have been the difference in our recent streak IMO. I am hopeful guys I know can score will regain their scoring prowess soon - namely Martin, Essery, Doherty and Baker.

To go anywhere in the playoffs we will need some balanced scoring. Let's hope the guys find a way to start pumping in some goals.

I am worried about a let down tonight. Hopefully, coaching and captains don't let that happen. Princeton gave us all we could handle at Appleton. They have a couple of very good lines and 3-4 good D-men.
 
Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Sdao is a handful. Always seems to have good games vs saints.
Much as clarkson's win helped us in standings, never ideal to show up on road the day after your host blows one.
That was fun last night! Couldn't see whether Wenny made save in third when whole building thought the Q had equalized.
Did he make stop? Did q miss open net?
Go Saints!

Totally agree about Wick and Wenny, especially Jeremy-the streak started shortly after he went to the first line and began scoring. A letdown is a major worry, and that's why the guys you mention (and Thompson and maybe one of the frosh) absolutely have to step up. The big guns have to be tired physically and emotionally.

But like you, I'll take wins however they get them and let the coaches continue doing what they seem to be doing so well.
 
Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Although a letdown in emotion and intensity after defeating the #1 team in the country is a possibility, I think the fact that they will be playing one of their previous coach's team will help mitigate the chances of that happening. That type of situation is usually a strong motivator.

Got 6. You are right. Pretty sure Wisconsin was #1 in '06. First game of the season. Kyle Rank in OT.

Maybe so especially given they were all scared ****less of 'sarge'!
 
Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Huge win! No letdowns. The 1st team-Greg, Kyle, Jeremy, Justin, George, and Wennie-are playing like monsters! And great kudos to the rest of the team! They never let Princeton get their game going. I'm just getting my breath back and my heartbeat back to normal! Awesome.
 
Re: St Lawrence Hockey

RPI beats Yale, so they are in sole possession of 2nd. We hop Yale and are going to have 3rd place, due to owning tiebreaker on Union. Just keep winning boys!!

Union up 1-0 on Brown with 2 min left.
 
Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Congrats boys on a great, great weekend.

Boy I would have been happy with a point or two on this trip and we came away with four!! Fantastic. The Power Play was sure clicking tonight as was the penalty kill. Of course it wouldn't be a Saints game without making it interesting in the third!!!!

Way to go!!!
 
Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Great weekend by the Saints. Sweeping on the road in this league isn't easy but we found a way to get it done. Congratulations to the team.

Well, Spaceman, the boys must have listened to you as we went 13 for 13 on the PK this weekend and got rewarded with 4 points.
 
Re: St Lawrence Hockey

Hopefully we can keep this hot streak going this weekend as we return home for Harvard and Dartmouth at Appleton. We looked great this weekend, especially on defense and special teams all around. Those are some positives that we haven't been able to say all the time this year. Keep it rolling guys and JUST KEEP WINNING!!!!!
