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.

LAKE PLACID — Chris Sullivan and Mike Santinello scored goals 12 seconds apart late in the second period to help lead Westfield, Mass. to a win over the host Blue Bombers in the championship game of the Lake Placid Winter Carnival Tournament.

Sean Spohr and Conor Larnway also scored for Westfield.

Troy Jacques' goal gave the Blue Bombers the lead in the first period before Spohr tied it two minutes later. Sullivan's second-period goal then put the visitors ahead to stay.

"If we could have held on late in the second, it might have been a different game," Lake Placid coach Keith Clark said. "But they were coming at us pretty good.

"They're usually one of the best teams in western Massachusetts and our guys had a little letdown from the night before. But we did a nice job competing and it was a good weekend for us."

Jeffrey Smith made 25 saves in net for the Blue Bombers (12-4-1).

Patrick Woodward and Blake Darrah combined for 30 saves in the Saranac Lake nets, with Darrah in goal for 23 of those.

"We were playing behind in the first period and behind the eight-ball right away," Saranac Lake coach Will Ellsworth said. "The kids overcame a lot of adversity to come back."
