Message: [QUOTE="nyclax, post: 4207341, member: 8261"] Heh, not a Hopkins fan, though my wife is a graduate so I try to follow the program. I am, tragically, a Hofstra fan. Positivity is fine but I'm worried he actually thinks the defense played well, which is not going to help them improve. I bet Petro has a different outlook. Winning stat categories is fine but I don't think that means they outplayed the other team. There are also some key stats that the Orange did NOT win: - Off. efficiency: Hop 31%, Cuse 17% - Shooting: Hop 34%, Cuse 13% - Non-faceoff GBs were dead even You can't win when you shoot 13%. Almost doesn't matter about any other stat or how sloppy the other team is clearing the ball. Hopkins shot better, valued possessions more, played stronger D and got better goaltending. In the end those were the difference. If you can find me a team that has ever won a game shooting 13% then I'll zip it. [/QUOTE]
