That is a bit of a stretch. He went to the net and tapped in one of the many juicy rebounds Muselik left. Let’s not say he was the best offensive player last night. I felt Marques was. I also liked how Gerrior played.
The thing that bugs me is we played a goalie that left SO many rebounds there in front and Maine still struggled to score. Guys like Freel should be the king of those rebounds. Guys like Scott, Komarov, Fowler, Pichette all should be driving net hard looking to pounce on those. Because those ones aren’t out there for their playmaking set ups, using creativity. They aren’t out there for pure sniping and high skill snap wristers. So you all talk about recruits aren’t good enough. Why is it you all don’t point to your upperclassmen and expect more? I think it is just lazy to say it is recruiting because you don’t want to put the effort into thinking… like it is tough to do.
For me, the juniors and seniors are letting this team down. I actually think we need more of what this freshman class brings not the other way around. If your top players are freshman it should tell a normal person the top classes aren’t holding their own.
But not this fan base. No we have to blame recruiting and discuss rebuilding through recruiting.
The answer is more like this class and hope our juniors are better as seniors. And our sophomores are better as juniors.
The answer is another solid recruiting class and maybe transfer portal replacement of some current juniors and sophomores that will be seniors and juniors next year.
Oh yeah, and get Rousseau some time so he can have a legit chance at top duties next year. Boija’s glove side has regressed and isn’t where it needs to be for a D1 starting goalie. Spotting the other team a goal or two each game now. It’s like when Ostman went bad.
