7 Defense, 11 Forwards?

Re: 7 Defense, 11 Forwards?

Don't disagree with your memory of the game. I was thinking specifically of Katie. Yeah she was not a scoring machine but I wonder if she could have done 2 things, first, her fresh leg might have more speed & spring one of the snipers to get the winner started or give the other forwards an extra 90 seconds rest which might make the difference when they came back out. I am not suggesting she go out against UNDs first line but the first is not always on the ice. Beyond that I often wonder if the 4th could have gotten more shifts throughout the season & left the higher lines less worn in March. But I'll defer to the guy that has a couple of NCAA championships over my opinion.

so 2+ years after the fact you are Monday morning QB'n the coach who went 41-0?
what, you think they could have won in 2 overtimes instead of 3?

when the championship is on the line coaches go with what got them there, and with 3 sets of eyes watching the players, you can be sure if any of them look like they have wooden legs, it will not go unnoticed.

goals tend to come during line changes and mismatches, the last thing you want is for a 4th liner or reserve D to be caught on the ice against the other team's 1st line

if you lose with your best players on the ice, I guess that means the other team was better and deserved to win

Have you always had reading comprehension problems or is this a recent issue?

Watson Rink was referring to the 2014 NCAA quarters, and that game was at Wisco, with EM between the pipes. (For the record, WR, Frazer also played, and might have seen some time at F.)

Right. I missed it. And you're right, Abby Frazier was a D who played some up front.
