Lanigan’s goalie deserves a Bud light after that one

Did Lanigan just waste money this year to "slightly" compete with the top dogs in this league... as the games get tougher it seems who they have brought in is not enough?

Lanigan is much improved. I dont think they're on the same level as Drake but they have proved they can beat anyone in the league including Drake.
I don't think anyone who is trying to make their team better is wasting money. If they don't spend then you have two Watrous level teams in the LLHL and then league credibility is gone.
All these teams go through cycles and spending money in a down time so that your team is at least somewhat competitive is the only way to keep the program alive until the next up cycle.

I didn’t know league credibility was such a big deal in sask senior, I would think have sustainable teams in your town was the objective, but maybe I’m wrong Just because u spend some money doesn't mean your team is unsustainable. You have a budget and stick to it. If anything it helps you recruit because your team is competitive. League credibility is also super important. When you are going after the top end players do you think they want to play in the LLHL or the wheatland. |

I just think if your paying and not winning your wasting money, cause eventually the well will run dry, look at Leroy look at watrous. Watrous won a few banners last few years so it worked, but Leroy hadn’t won for almost a decade and now their is no team there… so in my mind they wasted money and now they don’t even have a team. IMO Leroy and Watrous going from good to bad has more to do with their good locals getting old and retiring, a sr team is only as good as their locals. Right now Drake, Foam Lake and Davidson have the best locals and it shows in the standings |

Watrous was also spending close to double what other teams were spending to chase banners the last couple years. Theres a big difference between spending money to have a decent team and throwing money around like a druken sailor. Thats where you run into trouble. |

Agree with lots being said. Senior is important for the minor hockey programs, minor hockey programs are important for Senior. Anyone who doesn't see that connection I think is missing something. Best home grown locals bring others with them, that bring strong teams, championships. No senior team is hard on the minor hockey programs, no one to look up to, etc. Goes hand in hand to flourish and our small towns need hockey across the board for something to do, help keep kids out of trouble. Its deep.

Haven’t been able to make a game this year in this league due to work. Checked the box scores & Lanigan went 0-3 against Davidson, 0-3 against FL, and 1-2 or 1-3 against Drake, (the teams with winning records in this league) while being outscored double by Drake on the score clock. I am not sure this warrants a “they have proven” they can win. 3 against Watrous, 2 Against Wynyard & 1 against Drake without Stumbourg. Playoffs are a different animal & I think they make the final in A provincials based off box scores, but without Shields they may be in the same category as Watrous this year. |

U could say they should of beat foam lake once, when wapple Was in net but with him flopping around we all know what happened there, last night they brought 10 skaters? I don’t think there to far behind everyone else. Davidson and Foam have had there number but if they get a full squad they should be able to compete with anyone. Even without shields there still light years ahead of Watrous. But nice try. |
