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.

SARANAC LAKE — Bradley Shumway's third period goal proved to be the game-winner as Saranac Lake knocked off Northeastern Clinton, 4-2, in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference boys' hockey Monday.

The Red Storm (10-7, 5-3) took a 2-0 lead on goals by Devin Darrah and Matt Phelan in the second period.

The Cougars, however, stormed back to tie the game with two goals in a matter of 21 seconds in the third period.

Zac Guay scored at the 1:18 mark to bring Northeastern Clinton within one. Ben Leduc then found the back of the net on an assist from Matt Letourneau at the 1:39 mark to tie the contest at two.

Shumway, though, tallied at the 5:56 mark to give Saranac Lake the lead for good on an assist from Phelan and Kyle Dora.

"We didn't panic after they came back to tie it," Red Storm coach Will Ellsworth said. "We held our composure to win the game."

Darrah tallied his second goal of the game at the 6:58 mark to give Saranac Lake a two-goal cushion.

Blake Darrah turned away 23 shots to pickup the victory for the Red Storm.

Kyle McCarthy made 14 saves in net for Northeastern Clinton.
