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.

PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh State men's hockey team came ready to play Friday night.

And, the Cardinals kept that energy the entire game.

Eric Satim and Ian DeLong tallied two goals each and Plattsburgh State opened its second semester with an 8-1 victory over Castleton State in the opening round of the Cardinal Classic at the Stafford Ice Arena.

"We had good leadership and intensity from the start," said Plattsburgh State head coach Bob Emery. "The players were hungry."

The win sends the Cardinals (8-1-2) into tonight's 7 p.m. championship game against Trinity College, which skated to a 7-2 win over Skidmore College in the first game.

Skidmore and Castleton will play in the 4 p.m. third-place contest.

The Cardinals took a 2-0 lead in the first period when Chris Wieland stuffed the puck into the net just 54 seconds into the contest and Kyle Kudroch on a rebound at 7:00.

Plattsburgh State did have to kill off a five-minute major for hitting from behind for the final 1:34 of the first period and the first 3:26 of the second.

The Cardinals then added to their lead on goals by Vick Schlueter at 4:00 and Eric Satim at 5:33 of the second for a 4-0 advantage.

Ben Schoeneberger went up top at 17:31 to beat Plattsburgh State goalie Ryan Williams to put the Spartans (1-6-2) on the board and cut their deficit to 4-1.

That would, however, be the only highlight for the Spartans.

"I felt our second period was again our best," Emery said. "We could have had more goals if we would have taken advantage of the opportunities we had."

The third period was all Plattsburgh State as the Cardinals got two goals from DeLong and one apiece from Dan Sliasis and Satim to break it open.

"We wanted to keep the clock running in the third period," Emery said.

Plattsburgh State was strong on special teams, going four-for-nine on the powerplay.

"We did a good job getting the puck in deep, working our cycle and forcing them into taking penalties," Emery said.

The Cardinals held a 32-18 shot advantage, with Williams turning away 17 of 18 shots.

"He made the saves when he had to," Emery said. "Their only goal came on a good shot."

Skidmore College 2

Adam Houli's power-play goal at 12:56 of the second period snapped a 2-all tie and Trinity (Conn.) then scored four goals in the third period to break it open.

Chris Menard, Matthew Quigely, Jordan So, Stephen Rogers, Zachary Lombardi and Regnars Alksnis also scored for the Bantams (5-2-1), who held a 4-2 advantage before scoring three goals within a 1:52 span late in the third.

Wesley Vesprini turned aside 30 of 32 shots in net for the victory.

"We're going to have our hands full with Trinity," Emery said. "They looked good."

Chris Webb and Zach Menard tallied the lone goals for the Thoroughbreds (4-5). Menard's goal came at 11:00 of the second period and tied the contest, at 2-all, at the time.
