The defense has been atrocious in 3 of the last 4 games. I’ve never seen a Tiffany defense so fundamentally poor. Nunes has been getting shelled inside of 10 yards.The Orfling wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 12:40 amI think it's more whether this team is built the same way in terms of being dominant at the specialist positions. In the 2019 and 2021 seasons -- even aside from the enormous talent on the roster -- the Hoos were well-constructed for a post-season run with a great "playoff goalie" in Rode and FOGO in LaSalla. Same true last year with #41 having a better year and still having LaSalla. Today was just one day but in today's game UVA goalies had a 31% save percentage and the Hoos were 40% at the faceoff X.
Still a very dangerous team, although not playing well (for them) right now.
Offensively it looks like Schutz and Shellenberger are the only 2 players who can consistently win a matchup.
