Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 5693085, member: 4819"] I'll start off by saying I'm not the best person to kick this off, since I turned off the Princeton game at halftime and didn't watch the Penn game. But I'd like to hear what others have to say. Big game with the Blue Jays, as both teams are coming off big comebacks on the road. Both will probably feel like they have the momentum. On offense, the Jays deploy two shiftier attackmen in Jimmy Ayers and Charlie Iller to pair with finisher Hunter Chauvette. If I remember correctly the Orange shifted Billy Dwan up to the midfield to take on Matt Collison last season. Figuerias guarded Iller last year, but so far Ayers is having the better season for the Blue Jays. I am guessing that Beck will stick to Chauvette who just went off for six goals against UVA. The Jays midfield is very good with brothers of Syracuse players joining Collison on the first line. Jays don't have much depth though, so trying to run the first unit ragged should be a priority. On offense, have to hope the Orange have figured things out with a week off. Hopkins made a goalie switch last week which ignited things. Which Syracuse team will show up? Need to shoot the ball well and frankly, have a better game plan. I don't have a ton to say here, guys just need to play better. Hopefully they've nailed down who is playing attack and who is at midfield. I'm more in favor of Leo playing attack, but I haven't seen the last game and a half, so others are better informed there. Big questions at face-off. Joe Hobot has been pretty good for Hopkins, but he's missed the last two games. They were shelled vs UNC but bounced back vs UVA. Who gets the start? For the Orange, can John Mullen find his mojo? Feels very important that he bounce back, and soon. Big game for the Orange. If they can finish this road trip with three more wins, then the season is back on track. If they slip up vs Hopkins, then questions will really start to pop up. This Hopkins team is good, but at least on paper, despite it being a road game, the Orange should win this one. Fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
