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

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

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.

Cards sweep in hockey

By JOHN CORYER

PLATTSBURGH -- The Plattsburgh State men's hockey team, doing more damage on the powerplay, completed a weekend sweep of Morrisville State with a 6-2 decision Saturday night in State University of New York Athletic Conference play at the Stafford Ice Arena.

The Cardinals, following up on Friday night's 5-1 victory, scored nine power-play goals over the weekend, including four Saturday night.

"I was pleased with the weekend," said Bob Emery, who won his 399th game as head coach at Plattsburgh State. "I liked our territorial offensive play, even though I would like to see us finish more.

"Our powerplay was good all weekend."

The Cardinals (2-0, 2-0) grabbed the lead at 5:00 of the first period when the senior line of T.J. Cooper, Mike Baccaro and C.J. Tozzo had a nice three-way passing play with Cooper ending up getting the goal.

The Mustangs (0-2, 0-2) tied it, however, when Evan Kermohan sent a slapshot from the point past freshman Simon LeBlanc, who was making his first start in net for the Cardinals, at the 9:27 mark of the first.

The Cardinals grabbed a 3-1 second-period lead on power-play goals by Eric Satim down low at 3:24 and then by defenseman Nick Rolls with a long wrister at the 6:34 mark.

The Mustangs, however, got one of the goals back at 7:28 when Joe Herman jumped on a loose puck and sent a slapshot into the net.

The pace picked up after the goal and Plattsburgh State was able to get a big goal at 17:07 when freshman Kyle VanDermale stole the puck and sent a shot over the shoulder of Morrisville netminder Caylin Relkoff to put the Cardinals back up by two.

The freshmen line of VanDermale, Satim and Dylan Clarke, who each scored a goal, was particularly impressive.
