I'm sure there's a major financial consideration to consider but hard to think Raymond isn't on a major hot seat. Hobart has taken some major steps backwards and look overwhelmed in the A-10. I was waiting to see if someone other than a Hobart fan would write something. Don't disagree with it eithe...

Regarding Hofstra, Hobart, and St. Bonnies … are they all fully funded with respect to scholarships?

Denver should be dropped another four spots (to 11) as a penalty for their fan’s whining and also because the school is named after a mere city instead of something cool like a state or, even better, a railroad baron who fell in love with his first cousin.

My hottest take would be Nick Myers - big time athletic program, has done next to nothing there. That's not really a hot take. The issue is after their playoff appearance in 2022, they gave him an extension through the 2027 season. Probably shouldn't have done that, but they did. I doubt they eat t...

Maryland’s best wins are against Syracuse, Penn State, Richmond, and Princeton. Great FO crew. None of the Terps have monster numbers on offense, but plenty of players who can score goals. The D and goalie play are solid, but less imposing compared to recent seasons. Blue Jays are probably favored t...

They fixed it Doc, they set two plays for Collison for the win, one was a solid feed to Melendez which the defenseman for OSU disrupted just enough, the second was the howitzer which OSU's goalie had no chance. Collison is going to be hard to ignore at 1st Team midfield All American if he keeps up ...

I think, re: Collison, the calculus is a bit different early in games vs at the end of games (especially when trailing). Obviuously, he's a guy that you can iso anytime you want, but doing it too early in games risks other guys not getting involved in the offense or on track. Peshko has a knack for...

They fixed it Doc, they set two plays for Collison for the win, one was a solid feed to Melendez which the defenseman for OSU disrupted just enough, the second was the howitzer which OSU's goalie had no chance. The “fix” is having those plays throughout the game, not when the team is furiously tryi...

What we need to see more of are the power dodges from our Big Guys (Collison, Peshko, and Grimes). How many times are you going to repeat this? You've made your point. How about when they fix this issue? It is THE issue on offense. It is what defines the O’s inconsistency. The O is completely diffe...

Good things happen when our Big Guys play aggressively. Still, I just don’t understand why Bauer ends up dodging against a longpole after both Peshko and Collison pass the ball against SSDMs. What’s the idea behind that? Blue Jays keep going with these late escapes, but if they want to be a real Fin...

Excellent second half defense and a good ride contributed to this win.

But it was BIG GUY POWER BALL that was the difference in this game.

Now … why couldn’t Hopkins spare me an ulcer and have the Big Guys show up BEFORE the fourth quarter?!?

Big Guy power dodge by Peshko against THREE Ohio State defenders!

Took more than 3 quarters, but the Big Guys finally came out to play.

Big Guy dodge from Collison.

Why wait so long?

this isn't really on the defense or ierlan. when your faceoff unit can't win faceoffs and your offense out of 2 guys is complete junk you're going to see a lot of rubber and get worn down. Crawley hasn't changed the offensive lines in weeks and angelus and degnon have bailed him out. In the NHL the...

Greatness requires aggression.

Too often the Hopkins O plays tulip ball.
