GenEASYo NY- After all the smoke cleared and all the dust settled, and sticks, helmets and other hockey parifenalia was strewend across the Ice. The Oswego Laker's had won yet another game. Thier hot goaltender Tim Potter, had won yet another game, and Oswego continued to believe in Harry- err... Tim Potter magic!
"Tim, what's the deal with your pants? Why are they so big?"
The silence that was to come was deafening. Alex Rodriguez wouldn't face a more invasive question in any press confrence to come. Tim, seemed to think for a moment, looked at me and gave his answer.
"It cuts down on angles, and makes me wider. You never know when that extra inch or two will help out. I get any advantage I can."
Ahhh, nicely played Mr. Potter. You must have been prepared. Your handlers had you ready. So for those that too, looked at our new hot topic between the pipes and wondered, "how could the Blue Line Club not afford proper attire for our starting goalie." Be advised, there is a method to our Mr. Potter's madness. Hopefully that extra inch can stop anything the Plattsburgh Cardinals are going to fire at him.

A former Buffalo State women's hockey player was a passenger on a Continental Airlines flight that crashed Thursday night near Buffalo, killing 50 people.Among the crash victims is Maddy Loftus (pictured), a Parsippany, N.J. resident who attended Buffalo State College from 2002 to 2004, said Jeff Ventura, sports information director at the college. Loftus was supposed to play in Saturday’s women’s ice hockey reunion game, Ventura said.
Loftus transferred to Saint Mary’s University in Minnesota after completing her freshman and sophomore years at Buffalo State, he said. She was among 14 women, many of whom are local, lined up to play in Saturday’s game.
