All Hail
The old barn is finally gone and now starts the longest road trip ever. Which doesn't start well, with a disastrous loss at Army. Brave new world.

Brrr! The offense is making ordinary goalies look like all-stars. After the first game win over Holy Cross, the haven’t Scored more than 3 goals in a game (not counting ENs). The team has players with solid scoring histories from the juniors (mostly USHL), but they can’t seem to help each other to convert the grade A opportunities available. It might help if they’d shoot more. The Defense is decent, but if they give up more than two goals, the game is probably lost. Tonight would be an ideal time to score 4 or more.
 
Not just the paucity of offense. Defenseless is, unfortunately, not an overstatement. The continuing absence of Joachim Lemay has been disastrous but can't be the whole story.

Lemay would help if he can return and go full tilt. In early December, we were told that he was week to week. Apparently, the coaches were misinformed.
Since the break, the first minutes of each game have told us what to expect. Lemay can’t do much about teammate’s missed passes, the lost board battles, or the slow motion approach to retrieving loose pucks. The forwards need to display more speed if they want to play dump and chase. Without it, they are just giving the puck away to their opponents.
We’ve just seen the softest part of the schedule and discovered that we are the softies! Something’s gotta change.
