Message: [QUOTE="cuselaxss26, post: 5031358, member: 8563"] English needs to practice with his left hand. Teams are begging him to go to his left. If he even had some what of left hand he prob could score bunch of goals as that left alley is wide open for him. But he has no left hand n always goes right 1 having to run further cause has to go around players trying to force him to left while also defense all knows he’s going right so his sweep doesn’t do anything. I understand most stay with strong hand but least need to be able to go to weak hand when need to. Also someone said joey is overrated and yes he isn’t fast but don’t need to be fast to be efficient dodger. Does it help when fast oh certainly but don’t mean can’t be solid dodger without speed. Ya do need be smart have good vision and good stick skills and good stick protection. Which think spallina checks those boxes. I think he stops his feet to much when dodges allowing defender to get into his body and he also doesn’t change direction much or very well if he does even do it. He can use both his hands well so he can be a dodger just has to practice n go hard pick spot once to get to n go. I have yet to see him do it but have said if he dodges up one side or net from behind n thru a fake behind back shot into a rocker dodge think he could get step topside n have open look at goal. As for dmids and trujillo yes he doesn’t have the size he isn’t slowest dmid we have but he does play flat footed to much when player starts their dodge towards him. Which then he is already beat cause has to catch up n over plays into an easy roll back n shot from opponent. He needs to open his hips more when they come at him even maby give quick jam to send them off their line. Or if know what hand player wants cheat that way to force player to weak hand. We play to far off at times our guy letting them be able to run n pass without any pressure. Need be up on them in their face contesting everything they do. Last but not least i think of faceoffs we’re even 40% for us that then we possibly have chance to win game at end. Faceoffs really killed us as offense didn’t have ball alot to get in groove(2nd half we did win few n we scored few) wings weren’t any help. But ultimately notre dame having two weeks off think clearly showed they were fresh n well prepared and we looked tired and worn in first half. This team still makes call them rookie mistakes but overal this team is very good. To me first half just looked like our guys were to tired and to worn to stay with a fresh notre dame group. I also thought dwan should have covered pat kav n fig on chris as fig struggles at times with faster players. Maby even cacameo who’s faster than both on pat kav. But it took a team effort from notre dame to beat us in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
