A Few Notes

SLU Not ILY

The Saints are getting no love in the USCHO.com/CBS poll this week. St. Lawrence didn't make the top-20 after a home sweep. The Saints earned only six points somehow. Am I the only one who thinks this is a bit odd?

Quinnipiac, Princeton and Yale are all in the top-20. View the complete poll.

Saintly Practices

After the ridiculous weekend the Saitns had in beating RIT, 3-1, and Niagara 4-3 — both come-from-behind win — St. Lawrence is taking it easy to start the week in practice.

They're watching tapes and practicing briefly today in preparation for Clarkson on Saturday. Tomorrow, Marsh opted to give St. Lawrence the day off. I'm still heading to Appleton because players will be lifting and doing their own workouts. I'm hoping to talk with Marsh then, but if not I'll get him on the phone later this week.

My main purpose heading to Canton is to talk to the hometown boy — Kyle Flanagan. Not only did he net the game-winner with 14.5 seconds left in the Niagara win, but he leads the Saints with five points in his first four games. That's not a bad start for a freshman.

He is the subject of this week's "Get to Know a Saint" series. I'll ask him 10 questions. Here's where you come in.

If you have any questions you'd like to ask Flanagan, e-mail me at dcassavaugh@wdt.net.

Look for that video tomorrow evening here on "Casstle of the Saints."
