    Yup. Genny is the deserved favorite, but while NU is the underdog I don't view them as a big underdog. These teams seem very similar, as you detailed.

      I’d love for them to kill the camo. I get the desire to engage the military heritage, but I’ll love maroon and gold forever, that’s the identity I know.

      This game, rawr, NU is definitely the dog.

        That 2017 Norwich team was STUPID fast. They dominated that title game - Beginning to end. But I feel Geneseo is just as fast and aggressive.

Who hounds the puck on the forecheck and forces d-zone turnovers will win the small game, leading to success to the big game. Size has no importance if you cant slow down the opposition forecheck with a compact break out. It takes 2 or more passes to get out of the d-zone and I have seen Norwich break up movement out on the first pass or channel around the net. Sound like Geneseo has the same passion for creating a turnover.

          Seeing all three games Oswego vs Geneseo many of us are convinced they are the best in the east. I have seen Norwich only on TV. Should be great game to watch. I have not explored the streaming , or in fact is the NCAA going to actually televised any of these games

              Geneseo also lost to Plattsburgh back in November on the road, their only loss. They fell behind, 3-0, and came back late with two extra attacker goals to make it 3-2.

                Ron, as you know, the camo thing is not a tradition, but started as a third jersey and for some reason stuck around. When NU was an all military school it was maroon and gold. I'm not a fan - when watching on line, it is very hard to see the numbers on either shade of camo. I hate the look - makes them look like a bunch of duck hunters. The only third jersey that I hate more is the Avalanche's choir robe blue things.

                On to the game itself - I think a lot of people are missing the way the Cadets put things together after a slow start. There was certainly an adjustment period with the new coach, but I think it will be a lot more competitive than the SUNYAC drum-beaters think it will be. I'd expect a one goal game.

                  Name me one SUNYAC drum beater who says this is going to be a blowout?

                      Yes, the camos... as much as PuckVoice and I hate them... are Norwich's secret weapon.... they make opponents dizzy but our players are used to them...

                        This SUNYAC drumbeater thinks this one's a pick'em. Most games this time of year are, though I think Point has to be the favorite in the late game.

                          What's comical, and I say this as a diehard NU hockey fan, is that there is rarely ever more than one or two actual "cadets" on the ice-dwelling Cadets. I'm not criticizing, as it has obviously worked out very well, but I always get a chuckle out of our hockey programs embracing our military heritage.

                          Word on the street is the maroons may be going away forever. White or grey camo at home, green camo (which I strongly prefer to the grey) on the road. We'll see if that's true or not next winter.

                          Sidenote (totally off the topic of the game): There is a large contingent of NU alumni who don't like the idea of having civilians on campus, but they go crazy for hockey. Again, just an amusing observation, not a criticism in any way.

                          Back to our regularly scheduled excitement for this afternoon!

                            My first game at Clarkson saw us play (and beat) Norwich. One thing I remember was Norwich (All American) goalie Bill Cantwell was quite good.

                            How is he?

                            Oh - no camouflage jerseys back then. You wore maroon - we wore white.

                              Undoubtedly, I will admit to some jealousy at the number of SUNYAC fans on this site - I think lots of them (especially Oswego fans) have a rather one-sided view of things. That's the way it is, but I don't have to like it. I'd just like to see some balance. I guess I need to rally the Norwich/ NEHC group to step up (but let's lose the camos).
