#9 is a big loss plays with energy good player for sure
That early goal for BC made them a little complacent. Hard to see that continue for long but I like it through 20 minutes.
Well it's hard to be disappointed after the start of the year we had, but still I am. We just gave them too many turnovers, too many looks at the net and in our turn, when we had looks, all we did was shoot it at the goalie. They, on the other hand, shot it at the edges, every time. Second, I didn't think Mosley's penalty deserved a major. it, looked to me like he was actually trying to avoid contact at the end there.
Third, a guy like Jacob Benggston, who played for lssu for 3 years, He played very well today. Without the high quality D they had, there was no way they would win. . I really hate to see small schools turn into farm teams. if that is what it's going to be then we should quit. When teams like BC can basically recruit and play an all star team then you have to wonder if it's worth it to compete. Seriously. What's the point. I also doubt his transfer made his career better long term. He's not getting any more notice from scouts than he had already. . But he did play well.
I think Tech will have to take the 2 and 3 star players (football reference) to remain competitive, and coach them up. Otherwise, like most other college sports, the big schools are going to have an easier time, but I also think hockey is still a bit different, remember how the B10 ran through everyone last year, and Quinnipiac still won it.
However, where I am becoming curious, is if Tech is just content to make the NCAAs. They're still way ahead of my time as a student in the early 00's, but I don't want to think they've hit a wall. Pushing forward, growing, developing a good system.
Props to your students and fans. There was no quit in them.
