Ierlan making a good AA case as wellHopFan16 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:10 pm Dylan Bauer's playmaking opened up the offense, got the D rotating and tired, gave us better looks all over the place and forced Fracyon to make saves off ball movement instead of getting to stare down iso dodges. 3 enormous game-changing assists for a player 06 wanted to bench last year
Outside of two admittedly bad switches on Malone, the defense was absolutely unbelievable. All three close defensemen should be All-Americans. Martin and Jaronski were just terrific
Szuluk avenged last year's blown clear in overtime with the game-winning CT to get the offense the ball back. Seniors and grad students making huge plays all over the place. Great day to be a Jay.
Smith, Martin, and Deans had 2 CTs each. That’s just nuts.HopFan16 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:20 pm Program record 14 caused turnovers. Kilrain and Szuluk had 3 each
Jays only had 9 turnovers
Hugely poised effort in the second half.
FOR THE TIME BEING, Hopkins is #1 in the RPI. The winner of ND-Duke tomorrow will take over that spot. But we will be #2 or #3 by the end of the weekend at worst.
Milliman or Crawley I forget talked in the past about wanting to work deep into possessions to get matchups but today it felt like they just couldn't get the offense going because of the penn state defense and work fracyon was doing. There also wasn't much in transition which was surprising because usually when you're playing sound defense, your goalie is humming as ierlan was, and you've got ssdms that know how to go up the field you're getting breaks the other way.norcalhop wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 5:06 pm Great game. Only nit from my POV was the team was playing not to lose vs playing to win (with about 2 minutes left, they stalled that possession and did not generate any type of offense) during second to last possession of regulation when they were up by 1.
Yes, not much was working today until latejhu06 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 5:35 pmMilliman or Crawley I forget talked in the past about wanting to work deep into possessions to get matchups but today it felt like they just couldn't get the offense going because of the penn state defense and work fracyon was doing.

Back to the smurf comment, collison was caught on d late in the 3rd or 4th and held up well I thought in a possession that turned into a penn state turnover.
I get that's what QK was saying - but I don't think it's fair. The reality is that the Jays had a hard time generating offenses FOR THE ENTIRE GAME. They didn't suddenly start playing stall ball when they were up by one. The whole game was a struggle offensively. Those possessions were as well. I don't think there was any intent to take the air out of the ball.norcalhop wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 5:06 pm Great game.

While agreed for the majority of the game, they very clearly werent attacking and generated a poor poor possession at that point. 2 Penn state close defensive starters were out for the game. Not a great sign if the team couldn't beat their man.nyjay wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 9:33 pmI get that's what QK was saying - but I don't think it's fair.

Also, there are some games where bad offense is confused for good defense and good defense is confused for bad offense. I don't think either of the offensives was particularly bad today. The Jays, in particular, were pretty good. There weren't a bunch of unforced turnovers, failures to throw and catch, etc. I just think both teams played really good defense and got really good goaltending and as a result, we ended up with a low-scoring affair.
Contrary to posted info before the game, Posey and Parnham both played. Posey, the entire game.norcalhop wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 10:29 pmWhile agreed for the majority of the game, they very clearly werent attacking and generated a poor poor possession at that point. 2 Penn state close defensive starters were out for the game.

Difference is outside shots by degnon and others were falling late.
Good to know and a better sign for the team to have a breakthrough in the late stages of the game.Hoponboard wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 11:17 pmContrary to posted info before the game, Posey and Parnham both played.

Cotter said at the end of the broadcast it was the last win in the last possession in 6 years. doesn't seem right but oh well.
Apparently haven't won in Columbus since 2002.

A win over ohio state clinches a big ten tournament first round bye. A win plus a maryland loss next week clinches the conference regular season title. Worst they can do right now is finish 4th in the conference and get a first round big ten home game.
