Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 4983259, member: 4819"] Random Thoughts ... -Nice win, given Utah's struggles at the face-off and in goal I think this was the expected result. The strange start time definitely seemed to effect both teams, a lot of sloppiness all over the field. Not sure there are any big huge lessons to take away, SU will need to play a lot better next week to get a win over a tough Army team. -Good to see Thomson get off the schnide, nice finishing and good to see him get some assists. I think we just need to be patient with some of these guys right now, it is still only February. I know he missed some shots but the quality of them seemed better than what he had in the Maryland game. -Still waiting for English to put up some big numbers, perhaps the strangest thing is he doesn't have an assist yet this year. He was a good passer at Princeton and had more assists than goals last year for them. I think if they credited hockey assists, he would have a had a few of them today, the offense seemed to start with him on a bunch of possessions. Have to imagine he'll start racking them up soon. -Would have preferred a few more goals in settled situations, but it's good to see the team be flexible and score goals off the ground. -Can't say enough good things about Kohn, he's so good off the ground and can handle himself like an offensive player with the ball in his stick. It's crazy to me he is one point away from a career high in points after moving from DIII to DI. Concerning he has had some injury scares to his wrist, good to see him come right back out after the initial hit. -It's probably nothing, but I wish the backups would show a little more when they get in the game. We are probably spoiled from last year's DJ Johnny Cohen appearances, but you can usually find the guys who are going to contribute to future teams in these end of game situations. I'm not seeing that right now. Again, probably not fair but would be nice for someone to show something out there. -What a bounce back from Mark this game, after a slow start in the first quarter. 14 saves and they were commanding. SU is going to have to have him play really well this year, this felt like his first real complete game of the season. Utah is easy to dismiss, but they have some very accomplished offensive players.
