Re: Big Ten 2021
I do agree on Russo possibly staying in net. I liked what I saw from him last season. But with Kirst there now, they have two strong options. That's one of the "position battles" I am most interested to see how it turns out. Could see a Virginia 2019 situation or something like it.Laxfan#1969 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 7:11 pmKirst (Conner) will upgrade then offense game at midfield...he will help the others...attack will be strongbananas wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 12:00 pmNJ is known for deep D talent. The top layer has been stripped off by the acc powers which frustrates but Russo and Masessa are improving and solid. H Taub was a nj dopy , hoping he can step up and contribute in his 3rd yr. Bullet is good and transfer Ward will help out at lsm with Rall who can now focus solely on position with the addition of fogo Dugenio who went 25-31 agaisnt RU fogos last year . just winning more faceoffs will help d by limiting possessions besides giving more opportunities to a very potent offense .. Goaltending play will now be key to season success. There were a couple of very good goalies in transfer portal and was hoping for one of them but not the case. . See goalie Kirst as improved depth than upgrade to Russo who was solid enough. Do expect Russo to hold job and have a better season given better fogo play and more experienced defensive group. RU has enough talent to be a very good team.Tdemling6 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 12:18 amTotally agree they can do it. And I love the addition of the Kirst boys. And Yeah, their D should be better with Kirst in cage and they return Garrett Bullett at close. But we have seen this D have great pieces and fail as a unit before. That's what I mean when I say their D is suspect. Hopefully, that isn't the case this season like it has been in the past.livelovelax wrote: ↑Sun Nov 01, 2020 7:40 pm Addition of the Kirst boys and faceoff help will give the Scarlet Knights much needed help where they need it most. Their D will be better than thought and the offense can be the difference in most games. I pick them to make the Big Ten final and an NCAA bid.
The new FOGO will be a difference maker for RU (Dugenio)
The defense will be solid as you note...
One spot people forget about that can create a massive advantage is the SSDM spot...watch for Kamish to build on his effectiveness from last year (5G/1A) in 6 games...he was an offensive sharpshooter that plays better in unsettled late offense...he could be a transition catalyst along with Daniger and Franckowiak...these guys are all now veterans and I just have a feeling that if RU gets high level play from these transition guys...especially Kamish...they could give people fits...
I think Russo stays in net...he's solid
I'm bullish on RU with the off season additions...
Hope they play

Re: Big Ten 2021
That’s where you have to believe in the coach. Or not. I’d argue he’s got a track record of doing more with less compared with most top coaches. A juiced up version of Dano IMO.Cooter wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 9:19 pmWhile recruit rankings are questionable, still it doesn't really appear that PSU's recruiting puts them in the top group.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 7:12 pm Fair enough, Cooter, regarding PSU.

Your not talking about Dano at Duke? Certainly, Dano has had his fair share of top recruits at Duke.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 9:42 pmThat’s where you have to believe in the coach.

Re: Big Ten 2021
Or Dano at Hofstra when folks weren’t sure he would ever get over the top. Compared with Wojik, Corrigan or many others who’s arguably some less with more. If not for the one miraculous year we’d be talking about Breschi the same way.

Likely home-home, round robin with the B1G tournament to follow at the end. B1G testing protocols are probably driving all of this. Gotta think the men will follow suit.jhu06 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 7:24 pmthat was petro. this is milliman and after watching state school b1g teams cancel games all fall its fair to wonder what these schedules will look like.wgdsr wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 5:55 pmdoes it really matter that the b1g gets 3 teams into the dance when the hop gets blown out every year?AreaLax wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 5:19 pm

3 week sit outs for positive tests and 2 week sit outs for direct contact to exposed individuals...depth will be tested like we've never seen.
Re: Big Ten 2021
I imagine that attendance would be limited to family.
Let's see. Memorial day is listed as May31 in 2021. Assuming the usual NCAA tmt., that gives 2 weekends in May, 4 in April and 4 in March. Home and home is 10 games. So putting 1 game per weekend along with the Big Ten tmt would get us to the last weekend in February to start the season.

One might note that the women tend to play 2 games in a week a lot more than the men in the normal setting.AreaLax wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 3:19 pmIn recent podcast Cathy Reese said it would be one trip to say OSU and you would play two games that weekend.jhu06 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 3:11 pmthe b1g plan makes sense.

One bad aspect of playing 2 games in a week is that if a player has to sit out for covid, he could miss a lot of games.
