Hopkins has a pretty good team this year and theres a lot of speed and experience on that Offense so I wasnt totally surprised with the score but I agree with your regarding our plan to guard some of there faster players, left you scratching your head a little bit. 
 
One thing with Ianzito is that Desko is developing a pattern of playing Seniors more in there last year then he did in previous years despite the fact that seem to be a step to slow or theres a younger guy in the wings.  He did it two years ago with a Senior who had barely played and the same last year with Gilbert who I wasnt impressed with at all.  We need to get some of the younger firepower out there as Desko and Maltz cant do it alone.  It would also help if we could get Matt Pratt going as well, he has shown some flashes but his playign time seems up and down and he needs to have a 2 goal game here sooner rather then later. 
 
Faceoffs have been an issue going on 4 years now and I am not sure what the answer is short of a Danny Brennan clone. Your 100% right on Daddio and Buhr being big time faceoff recruits and so far they have struggled big time though Daddio seems to be doing a bit better. I think wing play is killing this team, Drew is still rusty and the long sticks have been putrid.  A couple of those long stick guys like Mcartney and the Texas kid are still real young so that should be an area we improve over the course of the season and more likely next year. I expect Desko to try some new O lineups this week maybe even look at burnign some redshirts if he has to because something has to change.  At this point I see no reason to redshirt Wardell, its obvious Lamo isnt the answer and I dont think Lerman is the long term answer either.
