That's good news they're allowing us to do so, assuming it remains as such.
With the way our season has been thus far, I'm almost halfway tempted to start the schedules thread now.

Losing Tommy Grant may be an even bigger loss than we think. One of things I had mentioned in the recruits thread, and is relevant to our team today, is that we have an abnormally large amount of left-handed players. In fact, this year we have exactly five right-handed shots. As much as my inner natural southpaw is thrilled at this notion, it seems like a great disadvantage, similar to one you'd see in small-high-school sports where virtually everyone's right-handed. Grant is of the "minority" dexterity on this team.
I don't know if anyone has been paying this close of attention on games where video's readily available, but how often are our opponents breaking out of or clearing the zone on their left side (our right)? Are they using our dexteric disadvantage against us in any other way? Are our players being "forced right"?
Obviously I don't know how much can be done about it now given the team is what we have, but in years we've really struggled, this has been one of the noticeable points.

You are 100% correct. If they shoot right, force them left. You work with what you have and devise systems according to your talent. I hate to say this Flag, but this season has you on the glue again. Knock it off!!

I don't know about glue, but this season is driving a lot of us to drink.

Let's assume you can devise strategies to work with it. I'd say Appert hasn't, given when we have this large disparagement, we have a terrible year, as was also proved in 2014-15.

Probably because we already have two scholarship goalies (yes I understand we had three in 12-13). Not to mention, wouldn't the scholarships already be used up and he'd end up being a walk-on?

as if adding fuel to this dumpster fire wasn't enough, extremely curious to do the morning of a home weekend series. Does Scott Saari have any eligibility left?

It's entirely possible it was done during the week in practice, and media days aren't until the day before a game. I highly doubt the staff would jump to announce that sort of thing.

I wonder if we could borrow Lovisa Selander. She played against men's teams in Sweden.

What exactly does "Uphold team standards" mean?
What do we have to replace Perry if he gets hurt during the game?
I can't imagine what the individuals on this team are going through.
Its gonna be a long weekend.
