Sakellaropoulos tabbed as ECAC Hockey Goalie of the Week !!!!!
Oh, by the way ... here is the most flattering thing that the St. Rose "girlie man" had to say about him and the team and coaches last year. Should he apologize?
Lord, when will you people stop with the Sak narrative? He was a late desperation recruit and has looked like it ever since he arrived. He's not athletic, very unaware, and lacks poise. Generally good? What? He was 6 points under .900. Let's all stop that. If one of the freshman aren't any good, we're in big trouble in goal.
Freshman class leaves me unexcited, again.
Vidmar may be fine, but shot at an unsustainable rate in the NAHL and played well above his head from a points perspective.
Supinski looks like a guy who just gets it done, but as ADK11 stated, no aspect of his game really stands out. But the points are there, so whatever he's doing, its working.
Taylor and Maier are tough to get a read on. Both look like they could be solid top 9 players, but I don't expect major contributions from either as a freshman.
Dufour. Man, the hype on this guy when we got him. He's been a dud in the USPHL, so, uh, yea. Don't expect much.
Campbell is an unknown. I haven't seen him play at all, but he has good numbers, is reported pretty intelligent.
The goalies..........are large. That's about all anyone can say about them at this point. Neither one is a top goalie in their respective weak leagues.
Recruiting is a huge issue. We should have been raking in talent after the National Title, but instead, we have really struggled. Last year's class was Scarfo, Foo, Brassard, and a bunch of filler. We'll see if this year is the same, but it's not looking like the most exciting class ever. We lost Kevin O'Neil, a local kid from Albany Academy, to Yale today. That's pretty sad. Lost another prep school kid to Princeton last week, where hockey careers go to die. I don't know why we were so afraid of losing Dumais as we were last season. In my view, he (and Tapp) have been a massive disappointment in terms of recruiting. I don't know who's fault it is, but for a team with so much national success in the last 5 years, we haven't done a good job restocking the cupboard.
