Keith Instone usually gives us previews of BGSU games so I thought I'd give mine of one of the top games in the country pitting #3 Clarkson against #11 (?) St Lawrence for the 134th time. I'm sure this game will be of interest to not only SLU and Clarkson fans but certainly has ramifications on the rest of the ECAC. A PREVIEW OF THE ST LAWRENCE-CLARKSON GAME December 13,1991-7:30 PM Cheel Arena in Potsdam ST LAWRENCE 7-3-1, 5-1 in ECAC CLARKSON 10-1, 6-0 in ECAC SERIES HISTORY 134th meeting: Clarkson leads 83-44-6 1990-91 RESULTS: at Clarkson (CU 3-0), at St Lawrence (SLU 6-5 ot), at Boston, ECAC finals (CU 5-4) MISSING CLARKSON-Ed Henrich, D (shoulder); Craig Conroy, C (knee); Martin D'Orsonnens, D (tryout with Canadian Olympic Team) INTRIGUING MATCHUPS (thanks to Dave Fischer's stats) SLU #1 in nation; goals scored per game CU #4 in nation; goals allowed per game CU #2 in nation; goals scored per game SLU #15 in nation; goals allowed per game SLU #3 in nation; power play pct. CU #3 in nation; penalty kill pct. ANALYSIS All of a sudden, Clarkson's depth becomes terribly suspect with the loss of D'Orsonnens, Conroy and Henrich. Fortunately, Scott Thomas will return from a 2 game suspension. Clarkson did not look good in last Saturday's OT win against RPI and will not be able to take as many penalties against SLU's #3 in nation power play. SLU rebounded from an unimpressive performance in the Ottawa tournament to score weekend routs of RPI and Union. Clarkson's 27 (?) game home unbeaten streak will receive one of its toughest tests on Friday night. The Cheel Arena will certainly have over 4000 people (3000 seats) for this intriguing matchup. GOALIES SLU- Jim Spagnoletti (sp?) and Brady Giroux CU- Chris Rogles and Jason "Lamb" Currie (if CU coach Mark Morris keeps his rotation, Currie will be in net for CU) Bri Farenell Clarkson '95 HOCKEY-L: [log in to unmask] OR @logic.camp.clarkson.edu BRUINS: [log in to unmask] --------------------------------------------------- C U IN ALBANY GO(!)LDEN KNIGHTS GO B'S: STANLEY CUP CHAMPS IN 1929 1939 1941 1970 1972 RETIRED NUMBERS: 2 3 4 5 7 9 15 (most in the NHL) ---------------------------------------------------
