Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 274940, member: 43"] Hey I love your optimisim and I can appreciate how much of a fan you are but your really overlooking the issues on this team and not looking at this team objectively. This team is 7-6 and has one regular season game left, its clear there not going to work out all the kinks/issues this year despite how bad we want it to. Not to nitpick but I have to take issue with some of your statements. Maltz has had some huge games but hes still to feast or famine this offense cant afford for him to put up a Zero against Gtown a few days after a 6 goal outburst. This offense is sorely lacking in firepower and consistency, Maltz has to have at least a goal and an assist every game for this team at minimum. I will say Eilers has stepped up the last few games but at this point with him being a Senior and his turnover issues its to little to late. I also have to take issue with your statement that Wardwell,Walters, Mullins, Schoonmaker are comfortably emerging into their roles. Wardwell is taking his lumps and has shown some flashes but hes going through the issues we expected him to as a freshmen. Hes going to be a great one but at this point you cant say he is comfortable at his position. Mullins both have shown flashes but Schoonmaker is only a part time player at this point and is still getting ahold of the game at the D1 Level. Mullins is gonna be a star here and I agree he looks to be getting better every week really looking forward to seeing him next year. As for Walters he has barely played outside of the man up for the last few weeks which I think from what I have seen is a mistake and I wish he had gotten some more PT earlier in the year. However theres no way you can say hes gettign comfortable in his role as he doesn't even have one yet. The bottom line is that the offense for this team and faceoffs continue to be a mess. Megill is only taking a handful of draws a game at this point because Desko cant afford to wear him out, hes not a viable option. The issues with this offens arent going to be fixed or addressed this year its way to late in the season and many of the potential answers are redshirting or not even on the roster at this point.
