Message: [QUOTE="cuselaxss26, post: 5436351, member: 8563"] agree mcnaney made big saves and timely saves plus got it out n up fast which believe resulted in least two goals. But all year syracuse never had every position click at same time. Never offense , defense , goalie , face off - were humming at same time. Most at times 3 out of the 4 we’re going. most time would say 2 was the norm for us. But also sadly 2 of those spots affect the others. As winning faceoffs helps offense (defense bit also) n goalie helps the defense play with more confidence and also knowing if make mistake goalie has their back. Have 3 out of 4 clicking was enough to get us to the dance but needed all 4 going to get us a slow dance. Each had bright spots in games and prob even won us games. But need all them playing at high level to hoist trophy and best a team like maryland also. We should have good chance to repeat next year as long as everyone comes back n the recruits coming in help make impact n hopefully even few transfer or even just 1-2 big transfer n stay healthy. But also think we need to build depth during early part of season. Play few more guys in valuable minutes help build experience and speed of game. I also like bologino at dmid n hope they keep him there and train him all year for it. He has good speed looks be strong n for being thrown in cause of injury think he didn’t do to bad. Ochao struggled at end but think was more fact he was guarding a lot of speedier guys and he is just slow. He’s got nice size n strong but just totally out matched when comes to anyone with solid speed. Think also we need a much much better zone defense system then one we ran. Not sure what psu zone D is but it worked wonders at time n how they could collapse on middle guys. Lots of stuff to improve on and work it. Begins now with training to get better so hopefully boys start working their tails off now. [/QUOTE]
