Message: [QUOTE="AD31, post: 4554541, member: 8599"] The D played well last week vs a pretty good Michigan offense. 2nd yr in the system and a few new players along with a better goalie and the D can definitely be improved. Now the offense moving the ball looking for good shots will be fun to watch and Spallina will be a star All American as a freshman I truly believe. Look what CJ Kirst did for Cornell last yr. I'm not comparing they have a better team but this team has talented players especially on offense. Face offs could be the biggest issue but maybe with a 3 man group these guys really compete out there fighting for the job. It's not gonna be great this yr at the dot but if they can at least stay in the high 40s then this team will be much better then what all these outsiders think. Some of these freshman seem more ready then most to contribute this yr. The transfers are solid vets. No reason this team shouldnt win all 6 OOC mid major games and then definitely can win the OOC game vs Hopkins. Maryland and Princeton would be a miracle lol. Now they should be able to split with NC and maybe even take both games. Duke and and Virginia might take a miracle too at least with Virginia. Last week was a good start vs a pretty good Michigan team and again everyone thinks the D will be terrible but they played well vs a talented Michigan offense. They improved SSDM and Goalie with the portal. U can't have a good defense without solid SSDM and Goalie play u just can't. Even if some aren't sold on Will Mark he's still a guarantee improvement from last yr. He's way more experienced and talented so will definitely be an upgrade. U know I believe he's gonna be a top goalie in the country but time will tell with that. I know this team will go over 5.5 wins and could even come close to doubling it. Spallina was nasty in the fall scrimmages and I heard he had something like 4 goals and 3 assist vs Michigan last week in a little more then a half. This kid is ready to dominate like he was ready in 8th and 9th grade. He's used to playing with older guys from school and club leagues. He is the real deal. Spallina, Hiltz, Simmons, Birtwhistle, Kirst, Finn Thompson might be ridiculous this yr too and then the rest of the freshman. The offense is gonna be legit and the D will be solid like they were last week vs Michigan. It's all talk but time will tell. Like Gait said this team got smacked last yr vs Michigan. This yr they beat 'em pretty good and held the offense in check. Maybe the Fogos suprise us and hold there own. I do like how scrappy Richuisa is when I watched some of his tape from last yr. Hopefully he got a little stronger and keeps working hard. He can improve as the season goes. [/QUOTE]
