It did hurt the transition game when Olexo had to move to close D.  He's a weapon and hopefully next yr he can stay at LSM. They had to move him this yr with injuries but man he's a weapon.  Yeah him and a guy like Aviles could really steal some easy goals which can make the difference in a close game like the 1st Duke or even the Hopkins game.  Maybe if we scored a few easy ones in transition we beat Duke and watching SU play this wknd.  U can win games by doing it.  If they can grab someone who has offensive skill it's worth pushing it a few times a game.  I just know Petro is more into slowing the game down and rather his DMs dump it off and get off.  I remember back around 2007 - 2008 Hopkins had this ridiculous athletic kid Andrew Miller who I coached agajnst as he was a sick RB and Lax player.  As a freshman he was on the first mid line with Paul Rabil. They had an injury game 3 and moved him back to DM.  He ended up staying there his whole career and never scored another goal after his first few games because they never pushed the ball.  He didn't have many GBs or CTs too which shocked me.  I loved watching Petro play in his day and he's obviously a great coach but he's very conservative.  I just wish he will change a little with the times and be more open to pushing the ball.  I guarantee Gait would be all for it but he's very laid back.  I just feel it takes the wind out of a team and also fires up ur team.  U can score then bang play solid D get the ball back push it and bang score again.  That's tough on a team like what ND did to us after they called no goal.  Was bang bang push it push it.  We went from being up a goal to down 5 in a matter of mins.  Some of us would just like to see them push it more next yr.  Be better at face offs, better defense and better in our transition game.  Is that asking much ?  Lol
