Re: >>> RIT Tigers 2010-11 - Part II - The Dream is Still Alive <<<
You are correct, but the top 2 are on the same top line that I was talking about. The other 3 are barely in double figures (10, 10, and 11), and we are 31 games into the season. I'm not saying everyone should score 20, but I am very concerned about postseason play. As we start playing against tougher opponents, I find it hard to believe any line except our top line will be able to score consistently.
You may also notice that the 3 other guys are Hartley, Janda, and Mitchell. Those are the 3 big men I talked about earlier. They do the majority of the scoring for their line.
After a little bit of math, I can put things into perspective a bit. The top line has scored 39 goals. The defense has scored 10. Meaning the remaining 3 offensive lines are averaging less than 20 goals. I will admit that the top line gets more playing time, but those numbers need to get closer. If your top line is producing twice as many goals as the others, you're becoming a one-line team. This is especially true if we play tough opponents in the future.
Don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that our offense is awful, that's simply not true. However, we are a very good team. If we're looking for something to improve on, it's not necessarily going to be something we are awful at, just something that needs some improvement.
