PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

Cardinals bounce back against Knights

Press-Republican

GENESEO — Plattsburgh State scored two goals in the first five minutes Saturday and then held on despite taking a flurry of penalties in the third period.

Michael Cassidy and Nick Jensen found the net as the Cardinals beat Geneseo, 2-1, in SUNY Athletic Conference men's hockey.

"I like the way we came out of the locker room. I thought we came out pretty good, had good emotion," Plattsburgh coach Bob Emery said. "And we got the two goals, but we need that killer instinct to get that third goal.

"I thought we had some great opportunities in the first and second periods. And the third just wasn't a flowing period. It was jumbled. We just couldn't get anything going."

Cassidy found the net just 57 seconds into the first period, with an assist from Preston Kaye. Jensen followed with a power-play goal at 4:38. Kyle Taylor and Jared Docking assisted.

Neither team scored in the second. Then No. 3 Plattsburgh (16-3-4, 11-2-1) was whistled for three penalties in the first 5:23 of the third. The second two gave Geneseo a 5-on-3, which the Cardinals killed.

But the Knights (12-11-1, 6-8-1) got on the board right afterward with a goal from Jonathan Redlick.

Plattsburgh had to kill two more penalties in the last three minutes. It had taken just two penalties over the first two periods.

"It was a very uncharacteristic game of a Plattsburgh team (Saturday)," Emery said. "There were a lot of penalties. I thought we played great team defense, and the penalty kill was awesome.

"A couple guys on defense and a couple of penalty-killing forwards in particular — Docking and Taylor — did a great job blocking shots."

Mathieu Cadieux made 24 saves for the win, and Geneseo goalie Cory Gershon had 21.

Plattsburgh remained three points behind first-place Oswego. The Cardinals bounced back after being upset by Brockport on Friday.

"I think we played better defensively (Saturday); we kept them to one goal," Emery said. "But we gotta find a way to score some greasy, dirty goals because we don't have that sniper."
