Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 4165506, member: 4819"] Really nice win, and quite a way to kick off the Gait era. Will probably echo a lot of what’s already been said but the offense looked great. Wonderful ball movement and shooting, the “knowns” looked on a different level in this game. Curry, Dordevic, Seebold all looked bigger and faster than last year. Was really surprised to see Berkman starting but he had a really good game, put up some goals and let the game come to him. A very smart game on his part. Nice to see some of the younger players put up points as well. Cordes with a nice goal and assist and of course Corsi had a nice goal. Beautiful feed from Fiorini, his game is something this offense could really use. Nice to see a veteran perform like that after not seeing a lot of time. The third line looked very dangerous, Cohen was another nice surprise. And to think the team was down Buttermore and Quinn. Defense looked good but obviously not a lot to go on. The one head scratching thing was seeing Jerry Staats on man down with a short stick. I did not like him in that spot last year and to see him with a shortie was confusing. DiPietro did not look very limber out there. Was impressed by Fraterreglo, he has good size and moves well. Murphy looked bigger to me. Phaup looked great, hope he can play this well all season. He takes such a beating out there I am worried he won’t last though. Nice to see Savage come in and do well and score a goal! Hopefully Ierlan will be at most of the games going forward, his absence for games is not a great development. Like Jeremy alluded to, lots of surprises for the lineup. Was expecting Cook at attack and didn’t think Cordes would start at midfield. Curious to see how this lineup changes as guys get back from injury. Obviously a dramatic step up in competition next week but this was really great to see, especially after all the panic from the Michigan scrimmage. Gotta move on from this quickly but hats off to the team and coaches for a great opening win. [/QUOTE]
