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.

Red Storm falls in OT

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.

LAKE PLACID — Shaker-Colonie scored a disputed overtime goal to cap a late 3-2 comeback victory over Saranac Lake in the Lake Placid Winter Carnival championship game Saturday.

Doug Swezey netted the game-winner 3:18 into the extra stanza.

"I felt the net was knocked off its moorings — the refs had a different thought so that's basically how they got their game winning goal," Saranac Lake coach Will Ellsworth said.

The Red Storm (13-4) blew a 2-0 lead built up after the second quarter.

Corey Brustle scored 1:30 into the third period before teammate Ryan Phillips tied the game up less than eight minutes later.

Ellsworth had a problem with Shaker-Colonie's second goal as well.

He said his goalie made a save, the referees' "whistle blew and refs realized the puck had somehow, after the whistle, trickled into the net. In my opinion two questionable calls."

Saranac Lake was playing its fourth game in six days and Ellsworth said fatigue played a factor in the loss.

"Shaker-Colonie had a deep bench and I think they had the legs in the third period," he said. "Playing a team of this caliber ... will definitely help us in our playoff hunt."

Devin Darrah put Saranac Lake on the board in the first period off assists from Drew Tedford and Logan McDougall. The Red Storm went up 2-0 on a second period unassisted goal by Logan McDougall.

Shaker-Colonie outshot Saranac Lake 31-19.

Tyler O'Neil racked up 28 saves for the Red Storm while Jim Lanne stopped 17 for Shaker-Colonie.

B'town 2
Monroe-Woodbury 1

MIDDLETOWN — Beekmantown bounced back from a 6-3 loss Friday night against Burke Catholic to defeat Monroe-Woodbury, 2-1, Saturday afternoon.

Brett Palmer netted the game-winner with 32 seconds remaining in the third period after a scoreless second.

Palmer also tallied an assist on a Kyle Mathieu goal in the first period after Monroe-Woodbury's Shawn Livgreen gave his team a 1-0 lead just over a minute into the first.

"We just really faced a lot of adversity — it was a tough game," Beekmantown coach Justin Frechette said, adding that the team got to the hotel room at 1 a.m. after a late Friday game. "Our kids showed heart and mental toughness."

The Eagles outshot Burke by a 26-14 margin Friday but were unable to capitalize on many scoring chances.

Burke's Josh Turner found the back of the net on the penalty kill to put Beekmantown in a two-goal deficit late in the first period. Brendan Carnright scored a power-play goal just before the intermission, but Burke responded by outscoring the Eagles, 3-1, in the second.

"We got off to a very slow start," Frechette said. "We made the mental error of giving up a shorthanded goal against a very good team on the road."

Ben Trombley and Mathieu also scored for Beekmantown in the loss.

"It was a long weekend," Frechette said. "It was nice to pull out a win on the road. We got better this weekend."
