He’s been absolute money this year at the Faceoff dish. UNH has had a fair number of goals right off the face off win. More than I can remember in recent years.
Where the he11 did this all come from?!? I wouldn't go near a live mic, in any setting. It's not modesty, it's knowing my limitations lol. Could qualify me for a "crimes against humanity" charge, even.
I do think "our" Ryan Cordeiro was originally from the South Coast area of MA, and with it being connected with a hockey rink, it's certainly possible.
Probably an AHL/'Coast league 'tweener. I seriously doubt he'll make it to The Show on other than an emergency call-up/cup o' coffee basis. Not that great.
So, how many of our 58 goals (on pace for the fewest goals in a season ever) were scored off a face off dish? Gagnon’s second line has somewhere between 15 and 20 goals on the season (not sure how many goals scored by replacements for Lavins when injured). First line has 23 goals.
Who is that?So looking ahead to the weekend ... tonight's question to the group is this - would you buy a used car from this man??
I think the next goalie decision is critical to this team's success next season. I was actually surprised that he went with KC (no disrespect) at the beginning of this season. I thought Coombs was going to grow with the rest of the new guys. At the very least a rotation would have let you know for sure what you have in Coombs. There will be no upper classman at that position next year. I think a transfer is coming and they should be able to get a good one. Reading about Westlund makes me wonder if MS7 has the right supporting staff. I am sure I will get bashed for wondering that.
Ive also been perplexed as to why we haven’t seen Coombs at all this year… he’s a bigger guy (6’2”) and posted a very good save pct (.926) for a championship team in the SJHL last year. I’m not as familiar with this league, but it may be similar to the BCHL?
How about 2022/23 when Muszelik got into 13 games and Fessenden 23?
Already shows more offensive skill than Ronan Walsh
Wouldn't laughing at this be the pot calling the kettle black Potluck? JUST SAYING....
The more important aspect is getting defensemen. Carr, Haan, and de Haro are slow and lack any playmaking to get the puck out of the zone. Fitzy has had better moments but still gets loss out there at times. I think Philbrick will get better with age and has the pieces but unless you get better D, the second coming of Marin Brodeur would not matter.
Patience is warranted as the defense is young (Fitzy is the loan upper classman). de Haro made an impressive rush and pass on Winters goal to put us ahead vs BU last weekend. They also lack goaltending that gets behind the net, making it much harder to clear the zone. I see a big jump up next year from this group.
The reason why Coombs isn't playing is because our illustrious HC is coaching for his job (again), has chosen his guy for the season, and will ride him into the ground from here on out. Whale will only play again if there is an injury to KC, or if there is a blowout where MS7 doesn't want to risk his lead dog any further.
We thought there was gonna be a "big jump up next year" before the start of last season, when MS7 brought back most of his lone winning team for another kick of the can. There is only so much upward competitive mobility you can realize as a team if the coaching is mediocre. Sadly, we do have mediocre coaches.
Agreed on all points Chuck, except that this is a whole new group. It seems to be taking a bit for the CHL players to acclimate despite their age. Trying to remain optimistic.
