St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

Re: St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

Things are pretty good when all you have to worry/post about is a shut-out.........or not:D.........its good to be the king
 
Re: St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

I think Jake was a bit off his game Saturday night giving up 4 goals in the first two periods. I believe the last time he had an "off" game like that and gave up more than two goals was the last time the team lost...... back on Feb 1 2014 against Adrian.
After that loss, he bounced back and only gave up 8 goals in the next 10 games en route to the title. Let's hope history repeats.

Solid 7 - 1 win by the Green Knights last night over Concordia Wis...we came out firing on all cylinders in overwhelming the visitors.
New sparkling white nets were installed in the goals and none of the goals were contested, unlike the last home game vs Point.
Pijus Rulevicius led the way with two goals and one assist. Mason Baptista netted one goal and two assists, while Tyler Zepeda contributed three assists.
With the 2 -- 2 tie in Duluth, between CSS and Adrian, SNC moves into a first place conference tie with the Bulldogs, each with 17 points.

It was great seeing them from the comfort of my chair tonight. Solid road win. After bottoming out MSOE has some nice young players. Good to see them back on the rise.
 
Re: St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

With all due kudos to MSOE for outplaying SNC, a disappointing loss from the SNC side. Just couldn't generate enough quality shots much less convert them. The lack of shots on the major was disturbing

Time to get it together for next week!
 
Re: St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

Just heard a troubling rumor about an injury to Jacobsen. I'll leave it to you to confirm in due time.
 
Re: St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

They aren't going anywhere without Jake and they don't have a 3rd goalie anymore so it better not be anything big.

Got outworked for 120 minutes this weekend for loose pucks and in the face off circle. Not the kind of effort this program has set the bar for.

Ollie the goalie didn't make the trip with SNC, or is he no longer with the program?
 
Re: St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

If a Harris Cup is in SNC's future, it looks like it will have to be won on the road. The only chance of home ice throughout is if Adrian drops 3 of their remaining 4 and SNC sweeps their last 4. In that scenario, LF has to sweep Adrian, but still drop one of their other remaining 3 to either Lawrence or MSOE. That seems unlikely, so the boys will have to figure out how to win in Adrian or hope for Adrian to be upset along the way…if in fact, they don't falter in the first two rounds themselves.

From my understanding, Ollie did go home at the end of the first semester, but should be back in the fall. If Jacobson's injury is serious, they may have to bring up a tender from the JV squad to back up Kujava.
 
Re: St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

I'm not a doctor. I do not play one on USCHO. I do not wish to speculate on the severity of any injury. That's not fair to Jacobsen. But I will tell you what I saw with my own two eyes: I did see him hobble off the ice during pregame warmups this afternoon, with the assistance of what looked to be trainers as he came off the bench. He was not in uniform during the game. I also saw him in a boot after the game, not walking the best.

That's all I have.
 
Re: St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

Also, safe travels to those who came this weekend. This storm is supposed to hit about 2 AM, and I have the feeling tomorrow is going to be a mess around here. Be safe.

Thanks for the beta Hammer, and congrats on the weekend. Your impartial takes make it more difficult to dislike Adrian. I'm hoping Jacobson's injury is some sort of puck inflicted contusion as opposed to any sort of ligament strain or tear.

Also hoping SNC has a return trip to Adrian in their future this season...
 
Re: St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

Well our two car loads hit the road right after the buzzer to try and beat the storms. No issues so far which is great. If you recall the adrian goal waived off Friday when there was a lot of action right in front of David. Believe someone stepped on his ankle, there was a cut which lead to a brief visit to the bench. All we know and hope he recovers as yes Oly not with the team. It was nice to find the back of the net Saturday, but yet still fell short. We had a nice time, chatted with a few bulldog fans and overall good experience...except for dropping two. Just going through Chicago hope to hit Green Bay at midnight :)
 
Re: St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

I will most likely be at the CCC for Fridays game. I've been trying to get my daughter to say "go Saints", as I think we'll be bringing her to her first game. So you have all week to collect your donations for my SNC sweater, numbers 34 or 66. :) And, not to get greedy, but a hat as well. I need something on my dome if I am donning a sweater.

One more thing, before I leave you guys alone for a while

Thank you. I call things as I see them. I've been around the college game for 20+ years now and I've seen too much, from the highs to the lows, to be a complete homer or idiotic troll. Everything that happens is readily visible, whether in person or via the internet, so there's no sense being an idiot about things. Yes, I'm partial. I make no bones about it. But like I said, I've seen my alma mater lose 12 straight to end a season, and I've also seen them play for a national championship, all done on a shoestring budget, as far as D-1 goes. I do have a little perspective on things.

Also, one SNC supporter sent me an email regarding this weekend. I will not reveal that poster, nor will I reveal the contents. What was said there will stay there, and I'm going to leave it there. But I will say this: it was friendly in nature. Thank you, too, for your kind words. Best of luck to you guys the rest of the way.

Hope everybody got back safe, as this storm is shaping up to be as advertised.

Just confirmed....Jake's ankle is broken.:(
Looks like he'll be out for the remainder.

While that is a bad thing, even if he were healthy there would still be problems. The decision making by the defensemend in the dzone is suspect at best right now. They're creating a lot of opportunity for the opponent.
While the goalies may get most of the credit for SNC's success over the years it's been the D play that has made them so good.
The knights went through a similar stretch in '12 I believe and they still ended up getting it together and winning the last game. Still time left. They need to right the ship next weekend and regain their mental edge coming down the stretch.
