Big one tonight in D2, Mount Sinai and Comsewogue. One of the few teams in Suffolk that might be able to give the Mustangs a challenge.

Hopefully they can, I agree it should be a good one!

Stopping Spallina will be a huge task.

Manhasset and SWR will be best equipped to challenge Mount Sinai. Especially Manhasset, as they have one of the best FOGO in the country.

One of the best in the entire country. Interesting.

Yeah, the key to beating them is keep the ball out of Spallina's hands. If they play Manhasset again, should be a classic like last year.

Tigers win 12-11. And after the results yesterday, we're the only undefeated team left in D1.

The key to containing Mount Sinai is ball control and physicality. That's what I took out of this game. I don't think GC had the offensive firepower to pull it off. Manhasset certainly does, and they have arguably as good or better FOGO in Girard. Should be the game of the year when they meet in the LIC's in June!

The game I watched today between Garden City and Mt. Sinai was entertaining as hell...IMHO and Shriver's.

Both goalies were enfuego. MS demonstrated the importance of FO wing play. I'd be curious to see the ground ball disparity as well. Staub did as good a job as humanly possible to try and contain Joe Spallina. The kid is as good a HS player as I've seen in a long time.

Lagniappe, for me at least, was listening to Shriver's mellifluous commentary. It brought back many memories.

What other Long Island team has the defensive chops to hold Mt. Sinai to 8 goals and Spallina to 4? I'm curiuos?

Possibly CSH; their Yale bound defenseman is terrific, and could potentially limit Spallina. Mt Sinai has other good players like LaForge, Jake Spallina, Caretta, and Marsala, but their gameplan is so reliant on Joey that if you hold him in check you'll hold the offense in check.

Last Friday, a terrific Cornell bound defenseman held Spallina to 4 goals.MS still found a way to win.

I was simply answering which team could hold them to 8 goals, not who could beat them (and I rate Pisano slightly higher than Staub). I think if we're answering the latter, it's not necessary to hold them to 8 if you can outscore them. Manhasset certainly is capable of competing in a shootout as evidenced by last year's LIC championship. They've got a lot more offensive firepower than GC and if Girard can tilt the field that might protect the defense enough to give them a chance.
