Anyone think Und needs to start to change philosophy away from the awesome cycle that we're known for and more towards a more skilled bc style of play? The rules are starting to make playing really physical a disadvantage at times. Maybe we could find a happy medium between us now and high flying skill reliant teams like bc.
Kristo and knight, with the exception of a goal each, did next to nothing this weekend. Especially Knight. He did not look like a Hobey candidate. Both he and Kristo were slow and not very dynamic today.
No way in hell drake is out. He played great and was not scared of the moment at all. I loved his grit and willingness to make things happen. Next year he will be a stud and tomorrow he will make a big impact. Love how he played. If I was coach he'd be on the second line.
So did chyzyk actually play today? Didn't notice him. ODonnel should be a scratch tomorrow. Top line should be KGK second RPC third with mark mitch and rodwell fourth line should be the same, they were nice and violent when in today. Zane in net. The d was very good today with the exception of Gleason who blows my mind with his passing.
Rowney needs to pass the puck. Rocco needs a goal somehow.
I seem to remember those teams being taken down under a pile of penalties. There is middle ground and we need to find it. Too many great Und teams kicked the !@#$ out of everyone and ended up losing because of too many penalties. Mac and Forbort are playing great and the 4th line was just pounding people. The passes will start clicking and we will win
