Message: [QUOTE="cuselaxss26, post: 5404743, member: 8563"] apparent duffy n petro we’re both possibly not going to play vs duke. Didn’t practice most of week but did last day of practice. Duke def took some shots on duffy where he was slow to get up , even one time was down long enough to have to come off field for bit( per rules mostly). Either way can’t hope they don’t play gotta win no matter what. Problem truely is the real n true syracuse team (ND game besides first 5mins or whatever) has to show up from here on out. Can’t have mental lapses or just dumb penalties. We have to win the ground ball battle or every 50/50 play. Have to be least 50% or more on faceoffs n goalie play. Shooting has to be id say for every player least 35-40% also. Gotta know on offense when to push n to slow it down specially if just played a lot of D. Guys have got to hustle all out hustle every single play. Grant he had great game but to many times i’ve seen hiltz jog to run out ball or just in general. Know he’s kinda that player n is good. But these are the little things other teams do all the time n why good things happen to them. Have to leave it all out on field and play like there isn’t a toma. Duke is gonna be desperate themslves and will come to play as they need a win. We started season by getting fast starts n spuddering at end. Then switch to slow starts n solid at the end. Now it’s time to fine the perfect start fast n finish stronger. Defense has to stop sliding when there is absolutely no need for it. If guy isn’t beat or no angle to shoot do not slide or even half slide just creating offense. Kirst was open way too much for player of his caliber. Honestly thought dwan should just shut him off to point. We let other teams offense control pace or where they wanna go instead of us controlling it. Be on ur man ready to check hands if bout to pass or catch. Don’t let them have loads of space to get running start. Even when their stalling as waiting for their subs go out on them make them have to move n waste their energy. Have got to be smart but aggressive n physical with these teams. Lastly mCcool has got to make every save he suppose to or should while also stealing least 4-5 a game he shouldn’t. Fate is in their own hands beat duke n prob in tounry beat duke n unc your def in tounry n prob a seed. Now go get it done n don’t settle for anything less then that. LFG [/QUOTE]
