Re: Yale Hockey 2014-2015. 138 miles to the ultimate goal.
You know, I agree with all the "what-may-be's". I follow the recruits on all the websites, too.
I disagree that we need more size......yeah Hart and Weberg are small, but Allain has them on the 3rd line.
Hayden and DiChiara can bang whenever they want, but only DiChiara seems to.
Hitchcock is as deserving a chance as anyone else, but it was constant defensive breakdowns and misplays that cost the game. ( even the tie again seemed like a loss....but I'm just anotherr Bulldog fanatic)
I understand that new defensemen must be groomed...but the loser tonight was Larkins giveaway that turned into Witeks screening of Lyons. Even CU's second seemed to be a surprise to #34.
Clarksons Goalie played extremely well and though it seems Yale offense was lacking, they DID outshoot Clarkson by almost 2 to 1.
It is probably a result of inexperience as opposed to "size".
Fallen, et al, reversed the play consistently to the Clarkson forecheck....often without a White jersey in sight.
The new "studs" need to get back to playing positionally before they spread the blue fog on opponents.
Get on the half-board...wait for a good pass....THEN break it out.
This team is already talented enough...that's for sure......DISCIPLINE in all 3 zones is all that's needed.
Go Bulldogs !!!
