A lot of good points.

Regarding the defense, one of the starters shared with me post game that the scheme the entire D had learned under Rogers was totally scrapped under Petro and replaced with a much more complex package which caused issues

As far  as Galt, we will see , but one of the biggest issues I have is the team did not get much better as the season went on ..the product was pretty much the same at the end as it was in the beginning , few adjustments were made until the hand was forced.

We all could see what was going on, but when our attack wasn’t producing , we didn’t try new solutions until the end. When Phaup struggled , we didn’t give Savage a look .  When D slid unnecessarily , we didn’t take another look at talents like Kol or even last year starter Horan or 50 game starter Dipo.  When both goalies can’t see the ball, show me Duffy , Katch ..do something to shake it up !

So would we have made a deep run,? probably unlikely due to lack or depth , drop off after starters , goalie Issues efc but I felt the coaches stayed with a lot of what wasn’t working in many games and just kept hitting repeat.

Coaching matters more than ever.  We used to reload and let the talent run the show .  But now everyone has talent, the Margin between most top teams is thin , any given Saturday is becoming commonplace.

We have an amazing incoming group coming in but we can’t just roll out the ball in practice ..these kids need to be coached , cohesion , culture is key , what is the team identify?

It all matters now more than ever.
