Denver Gameday...

[PhatOrange]

The 3 trail checks against us on breaks in the first half were killers

 

[JeremyCuse]

That’s gonna haunt Stevens.

Now to prepare for all the trolls to descend and give some H0T Takes.

Ya thats one he almost always finishes. Tough to see him miss everything there. Par for the course today though.

Bigger stronger faster team won. Sports aren’t Astrophysics. The formula is universal

That's pretty accurate.

 

[clayman32]

Absolute garbage refs. How many penalties can you miss.

Two questionable goals that there wasn’t enough evidence to overturn.

Multiple pipes.

A few missed close ones. Stevens has to cash that one at the end.

Out hustled on ground balls.

Dropped passes.

Seemingly no urgency.

Everything just seemed to go Denver’s way.

We’ll be fair mark let some weak goals in also. Can’t have them score at end of 3qtr when shot clock is low. Mullen right into goalie on one on one many post just can’t play sloppy all game n try to comeback in final mins vs good teams. Great effort by the boys still making same dumb mistakes n poor turnovers. Our shooting today was horrible. I also said it yesterday denver gives ya that outside shot and we scored on few but didn’t try it often. Have to be able to hit outside shots to open the middle. Denver also slowed game down to their pace.

Idk a lot of pipes and a missed doorstep from Steven's. Not sure it was bigger stronger faster

a pipe is just a missed shot. Weird thing lacrosse folks fixate on.

I don’t watch as much lacrosse as a lot of you. Is it normal for 1:30 left in the game and the head coach is just walking around during a timeout? I get the offensive coordinator is drawing something up but the coach isn’t involved at all? Even to give some words of encouragement or pep talk to fire the guys up for the last 1:30?


Gait (no idea why I initially wrote desk) is starting to bring in the talent but he leaves a lot to be desired as a coach. Team plays sloppy and undisciplined. Denver just wanted it more today. Their intensity killed us. They got the ground balls, 50/50 balls, and didn’t get lazy with the little things.

 

[cuselaxss26]

the spallina pipe hurt also would been one goal game with least 2mins left.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

A healthy Matt Wright would have helped.

Landon Clary would have helped more.

 

[AD31]

Also Mullen didn't jump early to me on that face off. Looked like he beat him idk

 

[tbonezone]

at least two easy stops rolled in after initial stops. he started slow again and put us in a hole we never dug out of.

I only saw it live but didn't seem like he went early.

what's the old hockey saying about hitting posts, "hitting a post is a very good bad shot..."

 

[swish7]

Rough game overall. DU was the more effective team today. Lots of disappointing moments, but nice to see SU show some life at the end.

Can we take a step forward next year?

My son just was accepted into the Astrophysics Ph.D. program at UMD. I'm still never going to root for Maryland. Because ... sports aren't Astrophysics.

I think you meant Gait not Desko

Then Red must have some very good bad free throw shooters.

Gary is a delegater, I've got no problem, he's not a micromanager coach and trusts and believes in who he has hired to run the O and D. You'll see some successful basketball coaches let the assistants run the Xs and Os during TOs. I'm sure he encouraged them after the assistant coach was done.

 

[cuselaxss26]

Denver didn’t even try to play offense really that 4th n we didn’t show them was a mistake. Their first playoff experience n was tough one. Hopefully next year they finally correct the poor turnovers on simple passes.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Kyle's POTG:

Kleban for Denver. 10 saves.

 

[CU44SE]

Wait, Gaits the coach now?? Haha Freudian slip I guess? No idea what happened there

 

[cuselaxss26]

Reminded me of ND game plenty chances to get it back to tie game but can’t finish.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

They bet that they could run 80 seconds off the clock on every possession and that we wouldn't score 10.

They won the bet. THIS time.

I don't think a lot of fans realize how often those missed shots are due to defensive pressure and frustration. Credit to Denver IMO.
