Box is a different game, Joey's pretty good at it. Smaller arena, shorter distances to get to the cage, a much tighter game that moves quicker, fewer players to come with the double, he doesn't have to muscle his way for much distance and the open player is closer to him. He also doesn't have the top D man (or any long poles) on him all the time. I'm just enjoying this competition right now and this isn't hurting anybody's game. Tre Deere playing for the Haudenosaunee team, looking good too.lorin wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 6:55 amDidn’t Spallina do great in box last summer, bottom line is like it or not he has do produce in big games this season that is how he will be judged, 12 points against a team that sucks won’t do it. I think he has to go to cage strong and stop the behind btb nonsense. And he will be first team AADMac wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2024 10:15 pm USA just beat the Haudenosaunee 16-9 in the world box tourney, Spallina led the team in scoring with 4.

Check your ESPN channels, lotta games on there.
Couple of Joey's goals were from long distance too, had the element of surprise and Lady Luck helpin' a little on those.
