Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 4555541, member: 6798"] - Ahhh just got back. A win is a win is a win is a win folks. Just a passing glance here says there are some justified concerns about the O. Some initial rapidly typed thoughts. Yes there certainly should be some concern, but I saw enough where I am convinced things can gel with time. UVM had way more instances of the offense petering out into stale nothingness than ours. I thought the vast majority of our errors on O were due to a lack of finishing (mainly from Spallina but others as well), sloppy play and careless turnovers, and forced over eager shots when a better look could be found later (again mostly Spallina), all things that are not out of place with such a green in the gils crew playing together for the first time. If I had one concern, it is that we need to find the guys most likely to give a ssdm some fits. Kirst a little disappointing off the dodge, Leo Rhoa and Kempney some flashes but the youth shows. Can they give us some answers there down the stretch is a big question mark. Need that guy who will demand a slide with his intimidating dodge to reveal himself. -As far as Spallina goes, he did not have a good game, but he also did not look bad in the area I was most concerned about, his ability to get to his spots against a D1 defender. The looks he was generating for himself were solid. A lot of his shots I do not blame him for taking. He was often open with enough of an angle at the goal. I think he will both be finding the cage more and defenses will feel the need to slide to him more as he gets settled in. Those slides will lead to more of the passing we know he can do so well. He will face better close D, but its not like he was doing his take the body routing and getting ragdolled before getting anywhere close to the goal. THAT would be a long term concern. Already seeing some hilarious doom and gloom after GAME 1 lol. Ive had a bev or two and lots more to be said but hey... how bout Richiusa putting up a solid fight against Tommy Burke? How bout that D for the majority of the game? How bout Will Mark?? How bout Thomson??? It aint all bad folks. [/QUOTE]
