Message: [QUOTE="bjred, post: 5397277, member: 6343"] What. A. Game. After those three quick goals to start the game I thought it was gonna be a long afternoon. Then they dug deep and imposed themselves all over the Irish. Probably the best win so far with Gait at the helm. Though hopefully we don't have to run into them again cause I feel like it would be the Duke games from last year, dominated the first meeting then shell shocked in the second. Any chance we can get Grace back next year, he seemed to be all over loose balls around the crease today. Kuczynski also has been great causing some timely turnovers and being disruptive. I didn't think McCool was our goalie after that Harvard game but I'm gladly eating crow about that. Yeah he's let a couple easy ones in but he's also been quite the wall since that game. Not sure what's going on with Dwan, seems to be making some freshman decisions lately with the ball. I think we need to start seeing more of this offense. Let Hiltz/Anderson initiate and have Spallina roam around off ball. Spallina probably should have had at least another goal but Ricciardelli definitely stole some from the offense today. Glad I don't have to decide on the starting spots once Thomson comes back. Anderson sparked the offense last week with his diving goal and seemed to spark it again today knocking through 2 or 3 defenders before scoring. Thought maybe we had the third quarter let downs out of the system after last week but not yet. I guess the only saving grace today was that the Irish couldn't do much either in the third. Got done rewatching it and Notre Dame got away with a lot of slashes and interference calls grabbing/holding Cuse sticks. Spallinas "cross check" was weak but again no reason for him to even do that much like a couple weeks ago when he bulldozed a defender well after the defender passed the ball and got flagged. Figuerirass' flag I get, its technically a stick to the head/neck area but in no way should have been locked in considering Jeffery pretty much knocked Figueiras over causing the contact. And for the overturned goal with Lynch, I think SU lucked out on that call. Probably should have been a flag with the waved off goal as McCool caused Lynch to land in the goal mouth, or is that only a flag if the offensive player is pushed in? [/QUOTE]
