Re: SCSU Huskies 2010 Off-Season Thread
We have a newbie here, I've never really been one to post on fan boards but it has to start sometime. I've been following the huskies since I moved into town about 7 years ago and consistently keep updates on the team.
Next year's roster:
Forwards-Marvin has continued to improve his game each year despite the fact that he didn't produce this year like people thought he would, he is an all around player though and you can't help but like guy like him. Roe will obviously be the key for this team again, he wears his heart on his sleeve and brings skill, passion, and an emotional fire for the team to rely on. People always compare him to Lasch but let's be honest here, Roe has scored more than Lasch up until the same points in their careers, he is the catalyst of the PP and a strong point on the PK and plays in every situation....when Roe is flat, the team is flat; when Roe is going, the team is unstoppable...the same cant be said for Lasch despite the career he had.
Mosey, LeBlanc, Festler, Novak, Hanowski, Eddy-all of them bring a skill and something unique to the game, they can all put the puck in the net, but besides Novak and Mosey, they are defensive reliabilites. Yes, we know that LeBlanc has the skill, but did we watch him on the PK this year, I can't believe Bob didn't replace him with any of the other forwards.
Oslund is a big time guy on this team for next year...the kid can shoot and he can play a physical game, he will be that senior that steps up in big situations and produces a clutch moment every time and again.
Defense-The big #25 has improved tremendously and will be the leader on the d-corps with Hepp next year. They both bring a physical style of game and have a will to get the job done. Maybe they don't handle the puck the best, but that's probably why they aren't forwards.
#3-Yes the kid can skate and recover well but this kid is literally scared of his own shadow. Versus UND, he's invisible...versus MN he is good, but it's those tough physical games that win you championships and he will never win any physical battles.
Johnson, Barta, Rioux-Johnson has an offensive upside and yes he might be a liability in his own end but he is learning and he is willing to throw his body in there and take a beating to get it done. Barta will be a steady senior who isn't flashy, but that's a good thing for a guy like him....he was solid in those couple games before getting injured. Rioux didn't play for a reason, watch the games from last year, the kid is lost in his own end and couldn't stop a squirt player on a 1-on-1, he is brutal.
Lee will be the primary goalie next year and with these big game losses this year, he gained experience. He is much more fundamentally sound and square on the shooters, and unlike Dunn, he doesn't scare the life out of me everytime he tries to play the puck.
Again....just my opinion here, we are all entitled to our own!!! GO HUSKIES
