LaxPower Back-Up Stick

One question. People are saying Brandau, without his familiar other strong attack comrades gets more of the offense running throug his crosse. Hence inflated numbers. IMO makes little sense, as it also means that opposing defenses give him bonus attention. IMO, being the highest per game scorer in D...

Can we return to the non releasable 3 + 1 minute penalty. Or is that not a problem today? (Just a little joke.) Glad to see Cornell win. Just not in Hockey.

Bet the post 1st quarter Cornell goalie's mom and dad did a few high fives watching that one.

H.S*&^ Outscore Orange 18-10 after the the first quarter? What a game. Nice shift in the cage. Bet that lad gets another start.

Princeton losing to Lehigh.

Could be a feisty second half. Anyone know why the 'Cuse coach had to go to the time out corner?

Laundry day.

So yes? whinging?

Are we going to hear whinging from Cornell fans on non-releasable penalty changing tenor of game? Like last time it happened?

Hmm, yes, Army beat Cuse, but not sure about number one being more than a meme stock. Nice win BU.

To be honest, given the first 4 games, I wasn't sure they'd get 13 shots in this game. UMd had, what, 3, 4 Phil Esposito goals? (Showing my age...) Rebounds off pipes. Of course, doing something with them is skill, not luck. Nice play by #38 just before Brown's last timeout to hold on to a pass in ...

As to how the 5-0 team looks compared to past seasons, I would offer this. The offense looks more like the DU final four teams, and I believe that is the case because there are often six players on the field who can score. A team planning for Denver the past few seasons could focus on stopping, say ...

I think the transfer in lacrosse fundamentally changes coaching. Firstly, the idea that a team's chemistry builds over time from shared experience. They ways a coach can build knowing the pieces will not vanish in major ways, they way they can review possible recruits as fitting or not fitting into ...

Just thinking, 35 years, never won, been there plenty. Does a win mean a new face at ND?

As to DU's "decline" issue. Is it worth considering the role of Graduate schools in this new era of transfers? It could be argued that Duke, UVA, ND, Georgetown, to name a few examples that have tried to create super teams have the ability to dangle grad degrees that are pretty thirsted af...

Go Nova, please, give the BE an OOC win this weekend...

Not a great day for the BE so far, Denver may be the only win, and the Hoyas picked up where they left off last season, transfer u? Maybe not always the best idea, sure early, but lost to the blue jays? Making a real bonded team by picking up single season players, I guess it worked in college baske...

I agree with the general notion that transfers can spoil enough chemistry that something valuable is lost when the season turns into May games that matter. In a business, when new people come in to run things, or replace a series of pieces that were part of a team it is a complex process to make sur...

Seven all Americans on one team. Versus 1 on the other, why the games are played. Lotta heart on the hens side.

The question is whether this is a few missing pieces issue. Add Wes Berg, add Trevor, add Sam King, add Canz, and with any one of those do you move up 8 places? So do you think it is a question of missing a super star, or is it that the whole crew is sort of where a team like Lehigh/UPenn usually ha...
