Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 4996242, member: 6798"] For one he was forcing slides against MD. He creates plenty of looks off his passing alone and teams often do slide when he gets to that 5 and 5 spot. Sometimes a top long pole is going to take out the top attack threat and that’s what happened with army. If he wasn’t guarding Spallina he would have erased someone else like Leo or English. We were getting quality looks elsewhere and outside of that bad shot in OT he was not forcing it too much. We need all nine in the starting offense to step up against the big dogs. He is so far from being the biggest problem with the offense. I have more faith in him doing his part than I do a lot of guys. And with a rough day from the defense yesterday we needed his 7 goals on 10 shots. [/QUOTE]
