Re: Michigan Wolverines 2015-2016 Season
Well, I don't know how much either team has in the tank for a mid afternoon tilt, but winning eases that a bit. I thought Nags played well except the fat rebound problem. Combine that with lack of defensive coverage and 3 GPG is about where this team's average will stay.
You know we are Zach fans. But have to be honest- Red swapped them hoping that Nagelvoort will take the reigns of the net. But that means that he deals with his issues- which I had noted was puck play behind the net (very minor, but that was MUCH better), and rebound control. Well, the latter really wasn't addressed as much as I would bet the coaches would like to see. Totally ignoring the rather obvious fact that the goals should have been prevented via defense doing their job- Zach also could have done a better job.
Basically, I would not be stunned to see Racine in net tonight.
Team wise- I wish they could figure out why they come out so flat. Which is odd to say when you saw them team have a 2-1 advantage in shots. But our chances were good, theirs scored goals. It's almost as if they did all of that work and go frustrated to the point of slowing down. Whatever they did before coming out in the third needs to happen in the first. Second Friday in a row that we entered the 3rd down 3-1 to have a furious come back.
On the other hand, it's nice to nit pick when you have a 4-0-1 record. I know most of us expect the play to result in a loss sometime soon.
On a totally different note- we talked with Jim Keough a lot last night- he mentioned that the Dekers Club is going to start to have pre-game get togethers AND away game watching parties at Revel and Roll (previously known as Cub AC's/ Colonial Lanes). One does NOT need to be a Deker to show up- just a way for Michigan fans to get together before the game and for away games.
As I get info for them, I will post them, but be prepared for the Boston game on Nov 20 for the first watching party. Hope some of you think about coming. I know we will- even though we've not been to the bowling alley for the +20 years we've lived next to it.
