bad and good:
- bad turnovers especially passing led to a  lot of the problems wed.  how fixable that is is tbd.  can they, o and d, pass?  turnovers have been just a one game problem so far.  i'm actually surprised, thought gait offense was going to see a lot more early, tho expected them to be of the going-for-it variety.  
- still can't shake kennedy's slide off nichtern.  but that's the type of thing that can be cleaned up.  if you want to get more aggressive, send a slide when o man turns head away from middle or rolls.  stop sliding into his eyes. film will help, petro loves film.
- i said pre-season finding assists will be difficult.  without hiltz doubly so.  berkman looks capable but if they're not going to use him maybe they need a finisher in there?  and if berkman doesn't get a larger role, it'll have to be by committee, likely. just one or 2 more per game, really, but that's 3 to 6 more chances.  use berkman.
- are the cuse looking to run?  that can help also with assists.  olexo's emergence and the cut and look to cook, dami's run & maybe it means more transition?
- dodging's not all bad news.  cuse has dodgers.  bracket 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 3rd periods and they scored 10 goals in a half against army, some pretty good on ball defenders and goalie.  they made sizable runs at umd and uva.  shooting can get better but it was more than  decent pre-zone.
- which brings... zone O.  and manup.  whoa.  ish needs to change there, or it's a problem if anyone can throw up a zone facsimile.
- faceoffs pretty good so far.  
- kennedy's last 3 quarters on ball are encouraging
- believe you have 2 goalies might actually mean you have 2 goalies, not none.  d has to do better at creating more distance and bad angle shots. it's usually one guy breaks down.  need all 6 every time down, not 5.
