Re: Syracuse 2024

Good point. They run two pretty equal midfields but play start an attackman that most teams short. Related trivia question: how many other games have you seen in which both teams ran EMO units that omitted a starting attackman? I’ve seen a few teams that don’t run their starting attack on EMO but d...

Re: Syracuse 2024

Best defensive effort I've seen from the Orange in quite some time. Props to Dwan and Figueiras for keeping O'Neill and Zawada quiet. It's easy to forget Figueiras is still really a freshman since he missed last season, he's really coming on the past few games. Tricky game @ Hobart this weekend rig...

Re: Syracuse 2024

Solid defensive effort so far and Mark has been dialed in.

Offensively this team still takes a lot of bad shots.

Face off's aren't totally ugly, there's been a lot of chances but the wing play is non-existent so far.

Re: Syracuse 2024

These officials have been horrific We can agree on that. For both teams they were awful, multiple bizarre or no calls Fair enough. I’ll be completely honest - I am completely unable to predict calls on face offs. I am totally able to figure out when they call a jump and I when they don’t. And when ...

Re: Syracuse 2024

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but in games where Hiltz isn't getting it going, I'd love to see Deere out there, even just for a change of pace. Not here but over at the Syracusefan site some people have mentioned moving Leo to attack and have Hiltz run on the 2nd line mids. I have thought th...

In 6 games, Joey Spallina has: 38 Points- 14 goals, 24 assists, and 14 TO's. Spallina vs Vermont, Colgate, Manhattan, and Utah: 33 points- 13 goals, 20 assists, and 9 TO's. All wins. Spallina vs MD and Army: 5 points- 1 goal, 4 assists, and 5 TO's. Both losses. UMD: 1G, 2A, & 1 TO. Army: 0G, 2A...

Re: Maryland 2024

I do think Gary should take them on the road earlier in the season, especially when you have a relatively young team (supplemented with the grad transfers). Those guys need to be tested in different ways, including on the road to a top team or two. The first 3 games against cupcakes...maybe have on...

Re: Syracuse 2024

It's hard to say much about playing Manhattan. The Jaspers lost their defense from last year (minus one guy), goalie, and FOGO. Their new FOGO is a freshman from Canadauiga, so who knows. The backups saw little to no action in 2023. Likely to not be much of a game. Yeah no offense to Manhattan but ...

Re: Syracuse 2024

A fun start for early in the season ...4-0 in less than 4 minutes I think. Colgate tried some weird match-up zone - very unusual and horribly ineffective. They scored 4 of their goals on man-ups - not much on even strength. The FO's for Cuse were outstanding; both att. & mid. was darn good for ...

Re: Syracuse 2024

Kohn 17-22 along with 1g, 2a 3 pts . When is the last time Cuse has seen 3 pts. from a fogo. Big, strong, fast with a motor. Him and Mullen making a huge diff in time of poss. Chris Cercy? He's been great so far but what's nice is it looks like Mullens can spell him from time to time. Jeremy Thomps...

Re: Syracuse 2024

Pump the brakes?? I haven't seen any over the top talk at all, just saying I liked what I saw and the way they play the game. Joey with four assists...pretty good, eh? I might be confusing IL for Fanlax posters. If so, my bad. This is the best team Syracuse has had in a while. I ragged on Joey Spal...

Sounds like it, not sure what the inury is but heard he could return next week against Manhattan.

Re: Syracuse 2023

Orange fans: Were you happy with your team's performance against Hobart? Ha ha! Cuse remains a middle-of-pack team. ND will probably reveal this next week. I hope not of course but there are too many holes still: riding, clearing, GBs, 6 v 6 D. It's another level IMO they won't reach this year. SU ...

Re: Syracuse 2023

6 v 6 not working for Cuse... this isn't box. Fancy stick work isn't enough... where's the ability to dodge, beat a guy? Where's the fast break ... where's the ride? There's an entire field to consider... not just half. I've been questioning this all season. I thought Gait wanted to get back to pla...

Re: ACC Conference

Might be a dumb question thats already been covered... but how come theres no ACC tournament for the Mens teams? I believe it's because since 2021 they have expanded the conference scheduling and it's no longer just playing everyone once. I have heard starting next season it's going back to the old...
