I assume it’s everywhere, but my experience here is that poster’s are far too hard on coaches.

Some of these kids have been in the program three or more years and still exercise little situational awareness.  Thomson blowing a 2 minute unreleasable.  Olexxo getting back doored twice.  Etc.

I played a sport in college.  There was very little in game coaching.  We had game plans and were expected to execute.  Eventually the kids need to make some winning plays.

I think the good news is that faceoffs look good, ssdm is better than anticipated (Rice was really good yesterday except for a couple mental errors) and the kids are playing really hard.

Rather than say top five, I’d say we seem squarely in the second tier right now.  (Duke, ND, UVA are tier)  Last year we were third tier.  Progress is being made.  Maryland, JHU, Army, Cornell are second tier and UNC and Delaware are third.  Winning the majority of those games makes the season.
