Re: The USCHO DIII Fan Forum Lake Placid Attendance Thread

I'll still be there tonight. Not sure who I'm rooting for tonight. I've gained a lot fo respect for the Cadets and (most of) their fans this year. I'll probably end up leaning in that direction, particularly since my seat is virtually surrounded by Norwich fans. ;)

However, if Oswego had won, I would probably be taking a pass on this one. Not because It's Oswego, but because of the OSwego fans. Unlike Remy, who is critical of it, I was GLAD to hear that most Oswego fans will not be in attendance. The Oswego fans arena-wide were some of the most smug, rude, and completely oblivious to the game I have ever seen at a college hockey game.

I'm all for chanting for your team, etc. But every time Oswego scored the phrase "How does it feel to be Oswego's B****?" or something similar was directed towards the St. Norbert Fans' section. Further vulgarities were directed at players who received penalties. BJ O'Brien played like the 1st-team All-American goalie that he is, and yet every few minutes I would hear "******* you, BJ! You Suck! Wait until the Lakers actually try!" I was tempted to respond to some of these ("How does it feel to have a lead in this game? Oh, you don't know???" or "BJ was 1st team All-American. What was KGT, exactly???" or "Good luck winning a National Championship with a team that's not trying!"), but I was respectful and didn't direct a single word at them. At first I thought it was just the Oswego fans near me, and I wouldn't care as much if that were the case, but I did notice similar things coming from Oswego fans all around the ice, and I was disgusted.

Plattsburgh was in much the same situation as Oswego in the second game, but not once did I hear any vulgarities, any pokes at Klinger. Heck, most of the Plattsburgh fans I was near were completely blown away by how GOOD Kilnger was. Leis, too... with the exception of Norwich's second goal. :(

Good luck to St. Norbert. Good Luck to Norwich.
Congrats on a great season Cards! Congrats on an amazing season Lakers!
Thank You for going home Laker fans!

Nate, Really enjoyed chatting with you between games. I was rooting for SNC in that first game mainly because of the attitude of the Oswego fans. Nothing against their team, but the things that you saw, I saw, and I'm glad they didn't get rewarded. I'm also glad you really got to see Klinger at his best. He was a little off in the Elmira game (except for stopping the 3-0), but he did pull off some great saves last night.

I think Leis played well except for the second goal, which was kind of a stunner. That really changed the momentum of the game. I thought regardless of any SOG numbers that Platts won the second period, and we were fortunate to end up where we started from.

I missed out on getting around to chat with most people, mainly because I stayed away from section 7/8/9 during that first game. I must say we (oswego fans) at least the small student section - of which I sat near - tried their hardest to bring the atmosphere of the campus center to Lake Placid...it seemed drowned out though. I really enjoyed chatting with the few fans of Plattsburgh, Norwich, and St. Norbert. However, during the championship game, Norwich had a few fans screaming "go Norwich" during the 3rd and 1st OT right behind a mass of St. Norbert fans (of which I was sitting). That just got annoying...every five seconds.

Trophy Sighting - NCAA D3 Men's Hockey Championship Trophy with a large contingent of Norwich escorts - young and old - in Zig Zags, circa 1:00am.....:D :D :D :D :D

Lord Stanley's Cup tradition lives on...let's hope they remembered to bring it home.;)
