Message: [QUOTE="bjred, post: 3861833, member: 6343"] Guess I’m glad the phone died after the first quarter. Porter had made some nice saves after a couple early goals and offense was getting looks but not cashing them in. Too bad it turned into a train wreck after. Is it March’s scheme to run the iso dodges or have the guys just been reading too many hype articles and forgot how to pass? This offense has looked great when they share the ball but as the season went on it became more hero ball which killed them. Personally I think that’s why we saw such a drop off from the second mids in the second half of the season. When the ball is stuck in one stick then it feels like the other guys just stop trying and stand around. No use complaining anymore about the defense, disappointing that nothing seemed to change there even though it was obvious it was a problem. I think the talent is there to compete. It may not be elite, and the year of super teams didn’t help, but there was enough there to not have the blowout losses they did. I think though the most maddening thing about this year is the loyalty to a fault and not switching guys out when they’re clearly struggling, the exception being Hiltz. When Porter has allowed 8-9 goals and only made 3 saves, try someone else to try and find a spark. Or Jeremys favorite, we have what 6-7 FOGOs on the roster, why not try plugging someone in when Phaup struggled. Varello did good at times at least making a scrum where unfortunately our wings struggled. And they burned Savages redshirt for what maybe 20 minutes total of game time. Time to just rip the bandaid off and deal with a couple rebuilding years than letting this continue, even if it means having some kids hit the transfer portal and some decommits. [/QUOTE]
