Vermont Gameday...

[Orangello]

Mark looking good in goal

 

[ForCuseSake]

Simmons has settled in nicely.

Mark has been dialed in from jump.

Clear up some of the failed clears and a little more off ball motion during 6 v 6 and it'll be a terrific start to the year.

 

[ClvrUsrnm]

The play by play guy needs to dial down the TV voice. He sounds ridiculous.

 

[SUbear]

4-1. Some Canadian box skills there (Thomson to Simmons)

That was nice.

 

[ctlax]

Spallina stopped again

 

[Orangello]

That should have gone. Spallina 0-6

 

[ctlax]

I feel it building...

 

[ForCuseSake]

On ball defense has been awesome so far.

Lot of good checks putting the ball on the turf and disturbing passes.

 

[Orangello]

Clary looks really good on D

 

[Orangello]

Spallina 0-7

 

[ctlax]

Mark another save

 

[ForCuseSake]

Can't ask for better tending than Will Mark.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Can't ask for better tending than Will Mark.

As expected, he's excellent

 

[JeremyCuse]

Gotta work on turnovers and clears, both major issues

 

[ctlax]

38 seconds uvm will hold it for the last shot

 

[Cuse4455]

Jeff Eads is the worst Syracuse student commentator.

 

[ForCuseSake]

As expected, he's excellent

I thought he would be an improvement because last year was so bad.

But I had no idea he'd look this sharp.

I know it's Vermont, but I was pleasantly surprised when Gary had no problem saying he was the starter a few days ago.

all fixable!!!

 

[ctlax]

Spallina's been backing up the net well.

 

[ForCuseSake]

Did the rules change in the off season or was the color guy mistaken earlier in the game when he said the whistle should've blown on a delayed penalty when the ball hit the ground.

Pretty sure it's always been if possession changes, not if the ball touches the turf.

 

[ctlax]

No shot by uvm. Good D!

 

[ForCuseSake]

Clears looked better in the second quarter.

Hopefully first quarter was just first game jitters.

 

[CuSeLaX]

Spallinas dream to play here, has been hyped up as the savior since he committed, all that pressure, gotta give the kid a few games, stop posting he's 0 for whatever. WE are winning. his shooting percentage his first college game, matters none. Okay my last post about the negativity this thread. I am over the moon at this current score, Defense has been the biggest issue for years and they appear much improved, probably too early to make that statement...

It was not. He just doesn’t know the rules.

 

[Orangello]

Most encouraged by the D. Close D, mids, goalie all seem in synch.

On offense, ball movement got better as game progressed. Spallina needs to pass it out.
