I really hope Gait and Co. give meaningful playing time to Savage and any other deserving fogo both for their development and to deal with injuries, fatigue and any inconsistencies with Phaup.  It is a very demanding position and Desko seemed unable to allocate more time to backup fogos.  It's been a problem going back at least as far as Ben Williams.  Fogo play was absolutely critical to both our successes and failures against the ACC last year.  Last years' humiliating losses to ND (twice) UNC, Army and a tough loss to Duke were due in large part to lack of possessions and a tired defense (to say nothing of an offense which needed more possessions to get into a rhythm.

As for the goalies, the first 2 games will be difficult barometers at the extreme.  HC is very weak and both goalies should be able to have respectable numbers.  With Maryland, we could be annihilated unless the defense holds up which means the goalies could be hung out to dry with ugly stats.  Maybe the most useful evaluation for the coaches will be to see who handles the pressure and keeps his composure best against MD.
