Duke . One game. First game.

Duke hardly had the ball in first half , cant score without it. Their offense scored 8 in 2nd half despite still losing most faceoffs.

Plethora of o talent at both attack and mid which will take advantage of  Sowers ability to distribute to all which should be his focus on this team. ONeill looked like a seasoned AA and Caputo is an emerging star .

Faceoffs, D and goaltending for Duke all raised some questions .

Stathakis dominated Ginder, McDonnel and Symth. Duke trio along with Naso was considered a team strength but didnt look that way yesterday.

Duke D was average last year without their best defender Van Raaphorst and that showed again yesterday

Duke was  fortunate Hannah, Sullivan and even Walker were off cage on several open shots.  Dano goalie switch to  Upgren worked out as he came up with several big saves, kudos to that mature vet for not only his performance but  supportive comments about Adler, quickly diffuses any internal controversy whether he starts or not next game.

Strange how Denver manups bogged itself down with indecision. Moved ball better 6 on 6.
