LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Two things I noticed yesterday about SU: 1- Spallina was frequently invisible. Seemed like he spent much of the game behind the cage backing up shots. Struck me as strange. Contrast that with Shellenberger and Millon taking turns grabbing the mic during the UVA game. Very different. 2- The SU d-mid...

The Big Red again..... Just a super talented group of kids that play hard and create absolute match up nightmares... Had always enjoyed the DA vs Lville game for YEARS, due to the location being a neutral site, and the one game I could attend most seasons.. How long will this run last for the big r...

I am not sure that was direct. I believe the rule is initiate contact with the ball carrier's head or neck. I don think that is the case here. I think he initiated contact with his shoulder to essentially shoulder. Head was indirect. By the way, this is why I have been against rules like this. Rule...

I didn't watch the Lville-Brunsciwk game today (was on at the same time as the QF) but watched them dominate Deerfield a few days ago and DiCicco was one of the better players on the field. Could slot in as a 3rd or 4th SSDM immediately. Very good on the wing and can run transition The level of tal...

I really hate this. He did not lead with his helmet. The Helmets did hit, but it was the side of the defenders helmet that made contact. It was not the crown. There is a reason that the NFL and CFB have that designation. Now you have fans trying to find ways to get kids locked in the sin bin for 2 ...

Said ot before. You cant just rely on set offense. You need to push the ball at times. Hopkins had plenty of opportunities in the 4th quarter and Ot to push play. Might as well get end of replay review if your not going to get it right. The non in crease call was awful. Has to be conclusive for the...

I think he has slipped in recruiting recently, behind schools like Virginia. Right. I hear you. He isn't the *best* recruiter. That very well may be true. I do have to say. Watching UVA yesterday, they have a LOT of talent. just lacking some of those 5 stars. UVa has top 5 recruits riding the pine....

I think the #1 thing for Maryland is possessions. Weirman needs to go his thing. Maryland needs to be able to handle the 10 man ride. Making this game about 6 v6 sets and not letting Virginia play in chaos, will be paramount to Maryland's success. Take transition when it is there, but dont get sped ...

Why do you say that? I'd argue that the best recruiters get the best talent and he undeniably gets some pretty top notch talent.

There are so many things to go through before really being able to develop any thoughts on Hopkins 2025 - the portal being pre-eminent. I guess we should find out in the coming days and weeks if any of the younger Jays will test the market with that free option. Apparently, we will receive the serv...

........ A good team at any of these programs is no longer a guarantee to make a Final Four This. Exactly this. Never was. The Final Four teams from twenty years were more than good. “Good” has never been good enough for the Final Four. This was true even in the 1970s and 1980s. DocBarrister Pay at...

Even with the disappointment of the loss to Denver, we can't argue that Syracuse was a pleasant surprise in 2024. Next year, one must remember that a lot more of the talent will be Gary's. Petro was the one that recruited most of the talent for gait. I will say this about Petro. If you go to a big ...

In the second OT, Peter Milliman refused to coach. His O was gassed. They weren’t making any headway. And yet no timeout called. I have had it with Peter Milliman. He has never won a championship at any level. I doubt he ever will. This was the year. He blew it. DocBarrister There was no way in hel...

Anything is possible. If this was his / our best shot that kind of sucks because this years offense was ultimately incredibly suspect and I'd like to think in future years the gang will be able to put together a better unit on that end of the field. You can try to scheme all you want but when the b...

I have said for every game that Weirman is the key for Maryland. I have Virginia winning, but I hate to bet against Weirman

Found out the other day that a lot of regular posters here I respect (Hopkins fans) have DocB on ignore. Going to do the same today. Represents the absolute worst of the Hopkins fandom. Proud of the effort today. The Jays were utterly jobbed on that crease goal. Terrible to go out like that. Why do...

Who wants to win this? Definitely not Virginia. Horrible offense the past 2 minutes of regulation and OT, very tight. Hop apparently didn’t know the clock there, which is also inexcusable Gonna say Hopkins look far less fresh. Zero offense. I doubt the offense was tired. They barely had the ball th...

Solid game, but Wayer the best player for Virginia today. Tip the cap to the 2nd goalie
