The 'Dogs definitely will send somebody to the net on the rush. But when I watched the replay of that goal, my thought was, "wow, the BC D just backed into her goalie." I think you have to make more of an effort to defend your crease on a play like that, or it will be a long day.
Well that's encouraging, then. If we were able to hang tough with a top 5 team with only two or three players plus the goalie playing well, I'd say we're in good shape.Were you watching tape of some old game?
BC, with the exception of two or three players and the goalie, was in a tryptophan haze.
I disagree. We've, somehow, been getting out of the defensive end and through the Nuetral zone [sic] pretty reasonably. The problem is, we look like we don't know wtf to do next once we get through it.
I was not incorrect!
You've obviously seen your team a ton more than I have, but I'd say it would be more important to have your defensemen playing good, solid D throughout. The Eagles have played Minnesota 3 times in the last couple of years, and every time the Gophers have scored very early, and that first goal wound up being very significant in the final score. Part of the problem each time was that one or more defensemen failed to pick somebody up. Coach King said after the NCAA game last spring something to the effect that BC had been a slow starting team, but that was going to change [this] season. But against UMD, the 'Dogs score on the second shift, and BC faces an uphill battle right away.
my thoughts exactly. BC has a few blueliners capable of creating offense. and a few players up front that should be able to sustain offense. Im going to place the blame squarely on Kingedy Barto and say that the strategy is obviously not working.....in other words, can we try something new already? Quite frankly, Im not sure how Katie keeps getting all these coaching assignments (cue Huxs rebuttal). Maybe the players need to step it the eff up?
