Re: Minnesota Golden Gopher Women's Hockey 2013-14 Season
"Frost said he thought Terry was the team’s fastest player and Cameranesi was probably in the
top three."
so who is the other one?
I'm guessing Bona
but I suppose it depends on what he meant by fast
fastest acceleration?
fastest ultimate speed?
fastest with the puck?
“They’re not going to score a ton of really fancy goals with their hands..."
Gee, thanks Frosty. I do think that Kelly has finished a higher percentage of her close-in chances. She seems more patient and has a better plan about how to get the goalie to move first.
you have to remember everything is relative, and it is difficult to be the best at everything
when you are moving fast, to be handling the puck as well as someone going slower, you have to be that much better at handling the puck, everything is happening that much faster
often the players who handle the puck well are the slower skaters, think about it, if you have blazing speed you can just blow by everyone along the boards where the defense is less dense, but if you handle the puck really well, you can take it up the middle and if everyone collapses on you, one of your team mates is bound to be open
same for going fast along the boards, beat the defender, and the other one is likely to come over to help out, that should leave someone else open
last year paired with Bona & Kortum, Terry was mainly a helper, with Bona scoring most of her goals with that line, while she scored assists at a much higher rate when she subbed for Kessel playing with Brandt
