Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread
Oh and Euro, I'm not just following points and I did see Saturday's game.
But considering one of our problems right now is consistent scoring, yeah it makes a whole lot of sense to sit a guy with 7 goals just this year for one of two guys with a combined 4 goals for their career.
Busting your butt doesn't mean squat if you don't produce and like it or not, however he's getting them, Mosey is producing.
Would I like it if Mosey worked harder or least looked like he was working harder, of course I would and for the most part he has done so this year, but production does matter and when Mosey has more goals in his career than those two have points (and the number of games is close 82 to 74) I'll take Mosey, even if he is considered a bit lazy by the likes of you.
First off, again, all you focus on is goals, what a surprise. Secondly, Mitch Ryan has scored 2 goals in 14 games as a Husky, or one in every 7 games. The games he played he was playing 3rd or 4th line. Tony Mosey's scored 16 goals in 82 games (and he's missed more good opportunities than he's made), or one out of every 5 games. And that's after spending a ton of time on the PP this year, and being paired with much better linemates, especially this year. Do you remember the goal he scored to tie the game at 2 against the Gophers at the X his freshman year? Ryan Lasch did EVERYTHING to score that goal but be the last one to tap it in. I'd say their goal scoring ability isn't that vastly different... and maybe I'm wrong, but we've only seen Mitch Ryan 14 times, so I would be happier if we got a look at him. If it turns out he Nate Deys his shots, then fine, sit him again, but can it hurt to through him a bone every couple weekends? Especially because you say that their biggest problem right now is goal scoring. Its not. Its hustling. I've seen Mitch Ryan hustle more in 14 games than I've seen Tony Mosey in 80.
You do realize that Christian is also one of our best PK forwards right, that he does more than score, but he should be sat because he isn't scoring more 5 on 5?
I am just going to preemptively say (because you have implied incorrectly that I called for Gaudet last year) that I have never said anything about giving Jordy Christian less time. Want that stated now, in case you try to bring that up down the road.
But, to cut to the point, there really is no need not to insert these guys into the lineup. There isn't enough seperation between them and others not to do so and it may help create a happier environment for all.
If you wanna stay as a .500 team, split every weekend, end up a 5 or 6 seed, maybe get to the X and be a Thursday night casualty, and miss the NCAAs, then yes, no need to change things up. If you expect more, like tb, motox and I do, then what's it hurt to try some new things up, especially with Brown and MTU at home next?
This team has been a .500 club over the last year and half because they don't do the little things. Iam sorry but it's just not the mosey's of the team tha tneed to do more. The so called leaders like Lasch, Roe and Marvin could do a lot more as well. Until this team figures that out they are going to be nothing but a middle of the row team.
Agree with all of that but Marvin. Marvin's had a couple bad games this year, for sure, but his offensive production is down I believe because he's snakebitten. Every time he shoots, he's thinking about how he hasn't scored a lot, at least IMO. He just seems to be holding the stick tight, but that'll come around. The other aspects of the game for him, forechecking, passing, hits, make up for that while he's on a slump, and I think right now he's the best penalty killer we have.
