The Geneseo Ice Knights Thread

[KnightsOfTheRound]

Geneseo didn't have a thread, so now we do. After tonight's win over Buff State, Geneseo is in first place in the SUNYAC, having played one more game than both Oswego and Plattsburgh. They've also won 9 out of 10.

Think we can keep this thread on the first page?

If the 9 out of 10 is SUNYAC, that is wrong. They are 8-1-1 for 17 points which does put them 1 point up with a game in hand.

They've won 9 out of 10 overall, not just in SUNYAC play.

9 wins out of the last 10 games overall, with 6 of those wins being in conference. The only loss in this stretch coming to Adrian.

Re: The Geneseo Ice Knights Thread

I watched that Adrian game, it was a toss-up, could have gone either way

Re: The Geneseo Ice Knights Thread

Genny-Adrian game was a tossup. The more I watch Adrian, the more skeptical I get. They are not the Adrian team from the FF of last year. Whole new team and not as good IMO. Genny on the other hand looks to have their best team in years. They need to puff up their OOC schedule a bit, but Coach Schultz has them playing good hockey. SUNYAC is a 3-team race for sure.

Re: The Geneseo Ice Knights Thread

I agree. Franklin Pierce x2, Salve Regina, and Canton. Just too many cream puff games for a top level program. 1 or 2 is OK, but I'd like to see us replace a couple of those games with higher level opponents.

Geneseo is definitely playing some great hockey right now. Really suffocating teams with their speed, depth, and physicality (classic Geneseo hockey). They don't have any major flaws. The only question is will they have enough firepower to beat the top level teams? In the end, for Geneseo to win the SUNYAC, it will come down to finishing chances and the top lines stepping up and getting the goals.

I know time flies, but remember Adrian did not make the tournament last year.

The D-II schools do not figure into your what-counts-for-the-NCAA schedule. And, I'm not sure Canton counts this year either as a provisional member.

Geneseo usually plays Oswego tough (earlier this season being a huge exception). I don't know who will start, and I'm not even predicting a win, but I think it will be a good game and closer than some people expect. I'd be way more surprised if the Ice Knights won in Plattsburgh. They never seem to play well up there.

My guess is that Ruby will play if he's healthy. He's got the most big game playing experience and usually comes up big when it counts. Haude has definitely been playing well of late, though. The victory against Platty really helped his confidence after a shakey start. Horrigan, the freshman, has played well too and got pressed into service early when Ruby was out of the line-up.

I've been going to Ice Knights games for about six years now, and this is the most balanced line-up, top to bottom, I've seen. The defense is strong, as usual, but they've got more guys who can put the puck in the net and excellent speed.

BTW: Anyone notice the Dennis Playfair wears his dad's old number (27)?

im sure it will be a lot closer game maybe a goal or 2 in the end, the goaltending is the BIG thing, I was just wondering who they would go with, if it where me I'd start the senior ruby
