and i am afraid i will have to disagree with you. tonight is exactly what i saw against both rpi and union last year. a combination of sloppy tiger play and being completely outclassed by good teams.
as has been discussed, there are a few things at play here. over the previous seasons, we have usually played a lot of games away and OOC at the start of the season. this is also the time when wilson is working on both choosing his goalies and getting lines set. and of course we have the lack of defensive depths, injuries, and the incident with shane. every year the fans come on here and panic about our start. asking how we will catch up. asking how are we going to replace brenner/favot (or ringwald/tanev/demike, or even lambert/smith) asking how the team will compete when looking so bad against some solid competition.
this season is shaping up just like last season and the one before it. tough opponents, and we have been just about doubled in goals scored each year. the differences this year are that we have played more at home than usual and that we are not scoring as much. every year though we come back and finish at the top of the aha. lets try to hold the faith and trust in wilson and the boys. they havent let us down yet, and until they do ive got to trust that wilson has things under control.
