Stanford skates into town for two-game showdown
■ HOCKEY: Oregon hosts the first
place Cardinal Friday and Saturday
nights at Lane County Ice Arena
By Alex Pond
Freelance Sports Reporter
All games are important to the Oregon
Club hockey team. However, there are cer
tain games throughout the season where
the importance is raised to a new level.
The coaches know it, the players know
it and the fans know it.
The atmosphere surrounding the team is
intense the entire week leading up to the
game, rather than just hours before game
time.
The two-game series Oregon plays
against Stanford at 8 p.m. Friday and Sat
urday at Lane County Ice is one of these
occasions.
Oregon is 4-4-1 in the Pac-8 and fighting
for its playoff life with four league games
remaining. Stanford is in first place in the
Pacific-8 hockey league and has been re
i
garded as the team to beat all season.
“They’re huge,” said goaltender Keith
Barbato, who will be getting the start Fri
day. “I already have butterflies in my
stomach.”
Head coach Nick Ham, unlike many
coaches who often downplay the impor
tance of individual games, knows these
games are more significant than any others
his team has played in this season and ex
pects them to have a big-game atmosphere.
“The games are going to be real tense,”
Ham said. “The guys are going to be a little
tense in the first part, but we’re going to try
to take it to Stanford early.
“We’re going to do a lot of physical play.
We’re going to stand them up and take our
shots.”
Ham said goaltending and team speed
are the main strengths of the Cardinal.
“Stanford’s got a real tough goalie,” he
said. “One of the things we’re going to
have to do is work on lots of shots on
[him]. They’ve got a little bit of speed, but
we’ve got four forward lines with a lot of
depth.
“Stanford’s other strength is they get a
little more practice time than we do, but
all in all we can skate up with them and
vvc bcui Dual mem.
There’s no question in
my mind about that.”
While these games
have playoff implica
tions, the Ducks also
have a little revenge on
their minds after losing
3-2 at Stanford Nov. 15.
“We had a loss to them on the road, but
it’s a lot different story when they come
here,” goalie Stuart Robertson said.
“They’ve got to travel, they’re in our arena
and they’ve got to play us with all our
players.”
He said the first game against the Cardi
nal taught the Ducks some things they can
use to be more successful this time
around.
“They have a few designed plays we re
ally need to watch,” he said. “We just need
to play them really physical, bang them
into the boards and just hurt them as much
as we can, legally.”
Revenge and physical play were popu
lar topics of conversation among the play
ers.
“We lost to them by one point, but we’re
definitely going to have to crush these
guys, not just show them that we’re going
to be able to compete with them but show
them that we can cream them,” forward
Justin Euteneier said.
What does he think will be the key to
doing just that?
“We need to be able to dominate on our
power plays and to be able to hold them
off on penalty kills,” he said. “We play re
ally well five-on-five, but we need to be
able to beat them on penalty kills and we
need to have a set play that we can run
against them that’ll work.”
If the Ducks want to make the playoffs,
they must win both games this weekend.
The players know that it’s time to get the
job done on the ice.
