Message: [QUOTE="SUlax88-09, post: 4992089, member: 9879"] Tough loss My concerns after the Maryland game remain (I can only judge our team based upon when we play a good team, so, to me, we’re 0-2 on the season; although we are only two plays away from being 6-0) -I don’t know if we have a single All American (1st, 2nd, or 3rd team AA) on our team. Maybe Rice is an AA SSDM? Maybe Leo, but he just struggled today, which may happen when gets poled more in the future. It’s hard to win close games against good defensive teams without having an AA on offense that can step up in the clutch moments. Sorry, Spallina may end up being SUs all-time leading scorer, racking up points against lesser teams, but he’s again not an All American this year (too slow to run by them and not strong enough to overpower good D1 defenseman when he tries to back them down, and those great passes of his become turnovers if he/we can’t dodge and create a slide, which open up his passing lanes) -We REALLY need another solid SSDM. That’s what cost us the game today. Trujillo got beaten for 3 goals and Levine got beaten for 2 goals. Our SSDM injuries are killing us. Who else do we have? I realize this sounds weird, given his size, but I’d play Hottle on SSDM. He held is own today on D -Rhoa needs to get the ball more. For a team that cannot dodge, to not utilize him more is criminal. He should be a 1st line middie -The inability for any of our attackman to dodge and our lack of speed among any of our attackman is embarrassing -Our best 6 offensive players need to be on the field as much as possible: Leo, Spallina, and Birtwistle/Mule at attack, and Rhoa, English, and Stevens at 1st line middie (I still see the potential in Thomson, but his shooting slump has just gone on too long now) [/QUOTE]
