St. Lawrence University 2013-2014: Carey, Carey, carry us to Placid ... And beyond?

In Potsdam there is Between the Buns, which is quite delicious as well (really good Burger there).

I have to say, "Between the Buns" seems to me a very strange name for a restaurant. That phrase doesn't exactly whet my appetite.

Homophobe!

You can still get a decent sandwich or meal at the Best Western in Canton. That is where the teams stay.

Yeah, i think there is going to be more than the DQ's. Not that that is how I'd prefer to weaken our opponents, but in 1988 we had to play Clarkson with 5 guys serving game DQ's for a brawl at the end of OT at Dartmouth. Each team last 5 guys for less than that.

Yeah, although it would be tough to lose a guy like Bennett, that UNH Women's coach was canned for grabbing a players facemask on the bench. A public display like that, he is lucky if it is just 2 games. RPI is not blameless, their coaches were just as much involved and the players leaving the bench is not good and I am sure that will be looked at too.

Granted that it should be looked a,t but undoubtedly RPI's players left the bench to celebrate the victory although they quickly got involved.

I know. It is hard to blame them. But when the fracas broke out they should have skated back to their bench. If I was Coach Bennett, that would have upset me. If that had gotten out of hand, having those extra players on the ice would have made it much worse.

Big win for RPI. That shouldn't be overlooked. Union is very good. But I have a feeling there is some supplemental discipline coming and that's too bad for RPI as they travel to the other nerd school.

Guys like Essery who have been good for 5-10 goals per season their whole careers has, in his case, 0-2-2 for the season. Beyond that our fortunes lie in goaltending and team defense and our goaltending was particularly bad the weekend the central NY CU's visited Canton.

Maybe the only ray of sun from the weekend: Sweetman 2 points, Smolcynski 2 points, Martin 2 points, Ward 2 points; goals from Dahl, Bayreuther, and Hudson; assists from Hughes and Essery.
But, counter that with 11 GA. Which follows last weekend's 9 GA, the 9 GA from Vermont, and the Clarkson 9 GA insult.
It just doesn't look like a defense, and it just doesn't feel like a team.
But there's 10 games left-6 at home. Maybe, just maybe-we can turn around like we did last year and hit the first round home level. We have the talent.

Re: St. Lawrence University 2013-2014: Carey, Carey, carry us to Placid ... And beyon

We are a team that anybody should be licking their chops to play. Since November, the sum of the parts is much less than the sum of the individuals, for whatever reason. There are a lot of quality hockey players, and more importantly, quality young men in that dressing room that deserve a better fate than they are getting right now.

The past 2 months has been almost the same story game in and game out. Very poor defense, goaltending and penalty kill. Average, at best, 5 on 5. Above average power play that cannot win the game by itself. And a diminished (arguably disappeared) threat of secondary scoring.

All the things that we were doing right for the first 6 weeks has ceased to happen. The things we were getting away with is now hurting us, seemingly every instance that we make a mistake. I have no doubt that SLU will dig out of this hole, but the question is if it will happen before October.

Along those lines, I just got off the phone with a third-year student at SLU who called seeking an annual donation. She said, and I'm quoting her, "I see that you've donated to the M's & W's Hockey Programs in the past, your support is much appreciated, and both teams are having great seasons." I politely corrected her and nearly vomited after hanging up the phone.

Yes, that's the bottom line. We are just a disaster in our own zone. All 6 guys...for at least 20 minutes per game. Fix that and good things can happen.

One of the positives of the weekend was indeed more balanced scoring. Still, like you point out.....it's the score at the end of the game that matters and in that regard scoring 3,4,5 goals is not good if the opponents score more. Defense is a team activity.....it's a combo of goal tending, D-Man play and forwards coming back for support and picking up men. It's also a mind set. I think our team, D included, is so hell bent on scoring they abrogate all their defensive responsibilities. I'd almost like to see us play one game where the team ignores offense and focuses on keeping the other team off the board. See if they can pitch a shut out and take what offense is given to us when the opportunity presents itself.


In other news and opinions.........I think both Union College, followed by the ECAC, showed major character weaknesses with their decisions on the end of game fisticuffs. Name me one other sport.....college or in any academic institution where if a coach struck a player...he would get a slap on the wrist??? Bennett should have excused himself from the program first and gone home for the rest of the season. Come back next year. If not Bennett self imposing punishment on himself....then the University showed (IMO) poor judgement in handing down a very weak suspension. Then the even weaker ECAC league office follows up and says....."yeah, we agree with Union...that's enough!" Also feel a message should have been sent to the RPI staff as well.

Brandon, where did you see this? Looks like a good player. He is another situation like Brian Ward. Played a season at Minnesota and then went to the USHL where he has averaged just under a point per game which is great in that league. He will have 3 years of eligibility. He did good things in high school winning the Minnesota state championship in 2012.

Yep, I've seen it tweeted 3-4 times from different sources, including Carvey and Horn. Wasn't able to look up much about him, but I like what you're saying got6. I, too, hope he can aid in the turnaround and be an immediate impact player.

Nearly a point a game in the USHL is nothing to sneeze at. Here is what I could find after using this website: http://www.ushl.com/?item_id=2426 - and searching teams' in alpha order until Christian Horn was found. I welcome him to SLU!


STORM TRADE HORN TO STAMPEDE

Tuesday, January 28, 2014

KEARNEY, Neb. – For the second consecutive day, Tri-City Storm head coach and general manager Jim Hulton has announced a trade with the Sioux Falls Stampede.

Tuesday’s deal sends Christian Horn to the Stampede along with affiliate forward Will Harrison and a 3rd round pick in the 2014 Phase II Draft, in exchange for affiliate defenseman Gordi Myer and draft picks in the 2nd and 5th round of the 2014 Phase II Draft.

Horn, who was serving as an assistant captain after leaving the University of Minnesota to join Tri-City on Oct. 24, was one of the team’s leading scorers with 12 goals and 13 assists in 28 games.

The 20-year-old Plymouth, Minn. native plans on playing at a Division I University next season.

“Christian was a highly sought after commodity that we were reluctant to move,” Hulton said. “Ultimately, we decided that the return package was too enticing to refuse as, once again it addresses both immediate and long term needs.”

“We thank Christian for his many contributions to the Storm and wish him well in his future hockey endeavors.”

Myer is currently playing for the Cleveland Barons AAA Midget Major team and has seven goals and 13 assists in 30 games.

The Toledo, Ohio native is committed to play collegiately at Ohio State and was drafted by Sioux Falls in the 17th round (254th overall) of the 2013 USHL Phase II Draft. The defenseman is expected to be with the Storm full-time for the 2014-15 season.

“We are thrilled to add Gordi Myer to our group,” Hulton said. “He was the key component to this deal as he is a young defenseman with a real big upside. We firmly believe that championship teams are built around goaltending and defense and that has been our primary focus around these latest transactions.”

Tri-City hosts Des Moines this weekend for a series at the Viaero Event Center. Friday night’s game begins at 7:30 p.m., while Saturday’s contest gets underway at 7:05.



Let's hope the turnaround starts this weekend.

I guess Tri City is shedding itself of SLU Recruits and sending them to Sioux Falls. Man, do I ever hope that Nolan and others on 'D' that are coming in is/are a defensive defensemen. Here's the news release about the trade:


STORM SEND GLUCHOWSKI TO SIOUX FALLS


Monday, January 27, 2014

KEARNEY, Neb. – Tri-City Storm head coach and general manager Jim Hulton has announced an agreement with Sioux Falls to trade defenseman Nolan Gluchowski to the Stampede.

In return, Tri-City will acquire forward Cody Milan, defenseman Daniel Fritz and a 5th round draft pick in the 2014 Phase I Draft.

“We continue to retool our current roster in an attempt to strengthen our club in both the immediate and long term future,” said Hulton. “We thank Nolan for his leadership, dedication and work ethic and wish him well in the future.”

Gluchowski, who was named the team’s captain in early December, was one of the Storm’s leaders both on and off the ice. He finishes his career in Tri-City with nine goals and 26 assists in 89 games.

The Wixom, Mich. native is committed to play at St. Lawrence and is expected to begin his freshman year this fall.

Milan has 59 games of USHL experience with Sioux Falls, playing 34 games a season ago and scoring four goals and six assists. Playing through injuries this season, the White Lake, Mich. native has just one goal and one assist in 25 games.

The forward, who is committed to play collegiately at Michigan State, is a former first round pick (9th overall) in the 2012 USHL Futures Draft and is expected to return to the Storm for the 2014-15 season.

Fritz has played in 26 games this season with Sioux Falls, registering two assists. The Harwood, Md. native was selected by the Stampede in the fifth round (74th overall) in the 2013 Phase II Draft.

Before Sioux Falls, Fritz played at Canterbury High School in Connecticut where he notched 26 points in 27 games on three goals and 23 assists.

“We are excited to add Daniel and Cody to our core group as we continue to push for a playoff spot,” Hulton said.

In another unrelated deal, the Storm also acquired future goaltender Chase Perry, property of the Stampede in exchange for affiliate defenseman Travis Brown.

Perry is currently playing for the Wenatchee Wild of the North American Hockey League (NAHL). He was most recently ranked No. 4 on the NHL Central Scouting Midterm Rankings for North American goaltenders.

Tri-City hosts Des Moines this weekend for a series at the Viaero Event Center. Friday night’s game begins at 7:30 p.m., while Saturday’s contest gets underway at 7:05.



Once again, I hope the turnaround starts this weekend.

I really liked Gluchowski in the couple Tri-City games I watched last year when Vecchione was still there. He should be a good one when he gets to Canton.

I don't think that fits for Gluchowski. He is more of a two way defensement from what I have seen and has been consistently a minus player in his USHL career. I think Purmal and R. Gicewicz will be more defensive oriented. But, then again, Dahl was a defensive star in the USHL and Ward a scorer and although Ward does have more goals than Dahl, I'd almost say their roles have reversed a bit from last year to this. More than anything else, I just want the players to be responsible at both ends of the ice. From the way it looks, Tri-City is trying to get some guys in that will be there for the 2014/2015 season which makes sense. I am sure they didn't want to give up their C and A players or the offense of Horn.

If the turnaround does not start this weekend, we need to reserve the bus for the first weekend in March.
