An absolute thriller of a game to watch live. You like offense, the first half was all for you. You like defense, the second half was all you. The stripes made their presence known which was extremely disappointing in a game of this level and magnitude. They couldn’t get out of their own way and le...

Got the W, that’s what’s important. Hounds will have a chance in any game against any team if they can win around 50% at the dot. They have the talent! Enjoy seeing Halls progression this season and he’s doing a great job changing his moves or needs on every faceoff. Sometimes you just need to put ...

Ok age is an answer that at least supports it. Though I don’t know the Brundage relates to his kids any better but maybe. Once you’re in your 30s I don’t see anyone really relating well. (Btw a Hobart person I know who’s got info insists Patterson was changed to 4 star but I don’t see it and don’t ...

Made the game today and what a game it was. Gritty win for the Hounds. The offense stayed steady and didn’t press when they were down big at the half. Defensively they were down Bean at close & Stout in the goal. Bucknell didn’t seem to recognize this until mid way through the 1st quarter, made...

Loyola worked hard. And played really well to make up for the 7W 19L faceoff discrepancy. That's gotta be the recipe For success moving forward. Loyola was 25 off 26 on clearing. Lehigh was 17 of 21. Loyola only had 13 turnovers Lehigh was forced into 24. +1 The hounds played well Don’t look past t...

It was a solid win The offense looked much better We need to stack some wins and continue to improve Patriot league wide open? I would say Army, BU and Navy are the front runners Then colgate Then Loyola and possibly Lehigh this week will give us more of an indication to where the team is I would no...

Specifically Brundage or any more experienced, senior and expensive hire. Not any replacement. Does it make sense to go all in on another expensive AC at this stage in the question. In this scenario MVA doesn’t work so the argument that an expensive experienced guy is always a better hire would be ...

Seems like far from Geneva struggles with quantifiable facts As former hound says the eye test gives you all the information you need There is a problem with the Loyola offense I would say formerhound and myself are more vertical or even lateral in his thinking Far from Geneva needs to take the bli...

Keys to tomorrow’s game: 1. Faceoff: BU’s two FOGOs (Fritz 59% and Cardamone 37%) have been very inconsistent this year. Fritz has been above 75% in two of his last four games but under 30% in the other two. Calderon hasn’t been above 40% all year. 2. Clears: 10 man ride gave us fits earlier this y...

My takeaways: Clear was much better this week. That is how we need to clear every time out. That needs to continue for the Hounds to have success. 2nd Q turnovers seemed excessive. But I think that might have been the weather. They cleaned that up the second half, which was a good sign. That was a ...

Just looked at stats for last three losses: Duke: 18 turnovers 15 offense/3 Defense Colgate: 11 turnovers 7/offense 4 Defense Rutgers: 11 Turnovers 9 offense 2 defense Season totals on offense: Poitras 6 TO/20 points James 7/19 Lindsey 14/15 Minicus 11/13 Heuston 5/7 Higgins 6/6 Kamish 4/5 Binney 5...

Does anyone look at the numbers? Clears 81% Shooting 28% EMO 3-15 20% Faceoffs 38% It’s a miracle Staudt is 53% . And has covered up some pimples with the team being outshot 268 to 228. It’s a lot more than Van Arsdale. Clearing 80% on D1 level is rough . Offensively I’d say shot selection has to i...

Placing blame for poor performance on a single individual is aggressive. Accountability needs to fall with everyone, including the players. I’m confident that the coaches are working OT to right the ship but how bout the players. Every post has been on the coaches, Formerhound knows the staff is on...
