That may have been Cam Hyde (#22) who is no longer on the playing roster but has still been with the team this year, and was honored on senior day.51percentcorn wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 7:07 am
As I walked past the Hopkins bench on Sunday there was a player in street clothes with his shooting shirt on (jersey number in the 20;s on the sleeve of the shirt) - looked like Lyne maybe? So hurt again? If true kid has had an unbelievable run of bad luck. Maybe it was someone else - that's entirely possible. He was definitely a big tall young man.
You can count the number of actual runs Lily and Mabbett have gotten on one hand. Degnon has not been given any opportunity whatsoever. The only time I remember seeing him was one or two shifts in the dying seconds of the 4th quarter in games that were already well over. According to the box scores, Lily and Mabbett appeared in the Syracuse and Delaware games, while Degnon did not. All three "appeared" in the Towson, MSM, and Michigan games.51percentcorn wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 7:07 amI'm not sure I agree wholeheartedly with your observation that there's plenty of talent - there's always plenty of bodies - the talent level? Ehh. He gave Lily, Mabbett, Degnon some runs early in the year - they did nothing with them and as a group looked unfortunately slow. I will certainly question his use of Zinn. You put him on the wings of face-offs so you are willing to suffer with him playing defense but you don't like his 4 goals, speed and outside shot on offense? Must be a practice thing.
I think McManus should be getting more shifts at SSDM. I don't think his defensive ability is that much of a drop-off from the other two, and if giving him a few more runs on D helps to keep those other guys fresh for the 4th quarter, then it's a trade-off you take, IMO.
I know that most teams exclusively play just 2 LSMs, so I'm not going to blame Reinson getting schooled by Jasinski on that one goal on tired legs but you would think that at some point over the course of the season that a 3rd LSM might see the field. Unlike the midfield, there actually is some depth at the pole on this team. A lot of it is inexperienced depth, but depth nonetheless.
