Discussion

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 defeat Concordia

By JOHN CORYER

DID YOU KNOW?


You can look back over the last 70 years at some of the area athletes and personalities who made headlines in area sports. Flashback will revive memories of great local athletes and outstanding team successes.

PLATTSBURGH — So far, so good for the new-look Plattsburgh State men's hockey team.

The Cardinals broke loose for four goals in the third period Saturday night at the Stafford Ice Arena and pulled away to a 7-2 exhibition win over Concordia University.

Dylan Clarke led the way for the Cardinals with two goals and freshmen newcomers accounted for seven points.

"We're going to be an exciting team to watch this season," said Plattsburgh State head coach Bob Emery.

Peter Kaliscik and Clarke scored first-period goals to give Plattsburgh State a 2-0 lead.

But, Michael Blundon and Jesse Goodsell tallied power-play goals in the second period to pull the Stingers into a 2-all tie.

Freshman Chris Wieland then put Plattsburgh State ahead to stay, at 3-2, with 11:47 gone in the second.

Eric Satim, freshman Zach Hepler, Clarke and Phil Farrow added third-period goals.

"We learned a lot about the team tonight and who can do what," Emery said. "We're going to give everyone an opportunity to show what they are capable of.

"We'll find out more in our practices and the Red-White Game this coming weekend. We want to play hungry and smart. Our goal is to get a lot of pucks on net and get rebounds."

The Cardinals got their share of pucks on net Saturday with a 45-16 advantage in shots on goal.

Josh Leis, Raphael Rossy and Ryan Williams all played a period in net for Plattsburgh State and combined to stop 14 of 16 shots.

"I would have liked to have our goalies get tested more," Emery said.

Maxime Joyal and Roger Kennedy combined for 38 saves in net for the Stingers, with Kennedy allowing five of the goals.

The first official action in the 2009-10 season for the Cardinals will come Oct. 30-31 when they host Geneseo and Brockport to open up State University of New York Athletic Conference play.
