Message: [QUOTE="ivorytower, post: 3895514, member: 6888"] Yes , Phaup is a good fogo but yes he runs hot and cold which leads to outsized impact on outcomes both good and bad. Probably due to faceoff rule changes but saw greater variations in results in many other games besides just Cuse games. All about matchups, two good fogos are increasingly needed. ND had a good fogo in Leonard that didnt prevent them from recruiting Gallagher and both were used to good effect. Not knowledgeable on varying fogo tactics but logical that different strengths might be best complement. ACC opponents had athletic fogos that not only got out but were threats off wins to go to cage to score or pass to open wing . Offense from acc fogos Duke 3-3-6, UNC 9-4-13, UVA 10-7-17, ND 4-4-8 . Cuse was 0-0-0. Not familiar with fogos in portal other than seeing Tigh agaisnt US, he was highly rated prospect and appears to be a good athlete. Blanchard of Hobart was 66%, comp could be questioned but he fared well agaisnt St Joes and Bryant fogoswho are good. Recall him doing well agaisnt Phaup in 20 but poorly agaisnt Varello. Calderone of Maryland was very dominant hs fogo agaisnt top comp so inherent talent is there to unfold for some coach. Gait mentioned possibly adding a vet goalie but maybe done purposely to keep our goalies working hard in offseason because entire goalie stock is competent and portal doesn't stir. Chatter was that both Katchurian and Thompson were as good or better than Porter in practices and both have much quicker releases on outlets upfield plus the willingness to do so which will help transition Rather ride with the young goalies understanding there may be some early growing pains. Cant gain experience without given the experience. imo, larger need than any vet goalie is at ssdm with Dearth gone. Aviles and Dami are coming off injuries and mediocre years . Both with good health could bounce back to varying degrees but position is key . Bardwell of Cornell and Ziin of JHU are two ssdm's in portal that possess both good size and speed. Saw Bardwell in hs and he could rip , Zinn was 7th rated player coming in but seems best suited as dm. Either would help to solidify unit. [/QUOTE]
