I see this is a rebuilding season. When you lose most of your scorers from the previous season, some reloading/rebuilding is necessary, so my expectations were set on the low side. But I was encouraged by SU's performance today. Goalie play, although shaky in the first quarter, got progressively better as game went on and the same for faceoffs. Both bright spots,

There were a few areas that kept the Orange from upsetting Maryland. I said this last week as well. The passing isn't where it should be, passes were either too low or too high. There were too many unforced turnovers, mostly poorly-timed passes or just plain off the mark. And, different from last week, was the lack of ball movement, too much ISO play. Maryland doubled alot, more than I expected, but the ball carrier with his back to the goal couldn't find the open man. Here I think the communication could have helped the ball carrier get positioned better for dumping the ball to the open man. I couldn't help but feel we beat ourselves against a stacked number 1 team.

Anyway, two games into the season and looking at the stats (except for the score) from today's game where we played Maryland even. I can see this is going to be a very good season.
