That’s what I was thinking

Huh???

I’m looking at Menghini’s numbers….he must be more of a culture guy or something? Good at pk? We’re not talking about a big time offensive player here. I’m still waiting for some F’s

Need to go all in on this one…others will follow

There’s definitely a time and place to “get pucks deep”…and certain lines need to play that way. But skilled, possession, type plays want to hold onto pucks to make plays. Interchanges, scissors, etc all work even better as you don’t unnecessarily create battles…and the good guys retain possession. Last year, no matter which line had the puck they were chucking it into a corner….again creating more battles.

That would be awesome!

Agree with everything other than the D piece. Very tough position, they were all underclassmen playing big roles. They’ll get better and better. I don’t foresee them being absolutely lights out next year, but they will take a jump…a pretty good one I suspect.

It’s 100% why. Swanson, Omac, Perron…incoming Zellers. They want to hold onto pucks..not constantly have to win 50/50 battles. Winning battles is important, but if we already have the puck, keep it.

They play a skill game…they move pucks and posses. He should fit in there.

I get that, it’s just an underwhelming collection of offensive F’s at the moment. You can still win, just slightly underwhelming. Zellers and Swanson will be good, but both are underclassmen that aren’t necessarily blue chips….they could have great years, or they could still be figuring it out. With this group, we’ll need some late bloomer offensive guys that can put the puck in the net.

Sounds like OMac to WMU

Our current F group does not look great.

I saw that, I remember him losing his share a bit during the season. Numbers look good though.

He hasn’t actually played that much. Didn’t he lose his crease each of the last two years?

Chyzyk knows all the top plays all the way down to 12 years old.

That or .6

Well…those kids typically have grown early.

Nobody plays the conservative dump and chase style we do with the skill players we have…or had

The system we run is awful for a guy like that.

True…well how good of a coach Jax is. They are going to have to coach their way out of this now.

This program is in big trouble.

Stramel

Ahh….no

Wow…that really puts things into perspective. Going to be a rough few years.

Our reputation is going to get slaughtered
