On that score I think Beatty is more solid defensively, doesn’t over commit going for the big check. Far more ground balls(14) than Cohen, and fewer shots. Cohen has taken shots in moments where possession is more important , Beatty I think is a better situational player and just as good offensively. In a big moment no matter the situation I think Beatty is the better decision maker and overall player. Together they are a great tandem. Albregts has played well also.

WnL best DM tandem there? Beatty/Cohen/Albregts
Lynchburg's Nestor is very good too...
HSC has some good guys
Noke runs a lot but no one standing out

So tough to judge this position as you said Dehunt...do you give accolades to the best defenders, best gb grabbers, best ct causers, most points?? Ideal word says a little bit of all that. Wouldn't be surprised to see some of these guys sneak on as regular M if the coaches see how many good ones there are.

There are other first years with stronger performances. Owen Gucwa(RMC starting goalie). HSC #10 mid and HSC #1 mid(starting for HSC) and had 5 points against Roanoke last weekend.

I’ll come off biased. But mills is also good for W&L. W&L probably has 4 of the top 6 shortsticks in the ODAC. I spoke with one top 20 coach that said “I thought #18 (Bentley) graduating would hurt them, now they have 3 of him!”

With bias I’d say Darminio with 73 GB’s / 19 CT’s and 4 points in only 14 games. He’s a disrupter and has many hockey assists. Lackey is very good but his #’s are well below Darminio with 16 games..
Nestor has battled thru injury and has been a leader at LYN. He may get 2nd team.. but LYN needs to win Saturday to expel the RMC let down..

Both LSMs are very good. Lackey also takes only 50% of the lsm reps. Darminio takes about 85%. Darminio also takes every single wing.

Lackey has 42gbs, 18cts and 15 points. Not sure that’s “well below”. IMO he’s an also better 1v1 defender.

Pokorny is very impressive more points than Kammerman with 30+ less shots

Nothinbutthelax wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2023 8:52 am Darminio at 78 GB’s and 21 CT’s playing another 2 quarters at Guilford.. with another game Saturday and 1 less game played I’ll raise you to “Considerably below”. Better on ball defender… maybe. If he’s your 1st team why wouldn’t he be on wings more often?
Anyway- these selections weigh on Saturday’s results..

Zingo and Wolfe did not play last night.. #28 Shuster was hurt and has returned to fill in for Zingo.. He’s good on ball in transition but close D experience is lacking. If Zingo out I think Marindin draws O’Brien. Marindin is a punisher on ball but not sure he has the footwork..Without Zingo Hadley will need to be sharp and man down may be a notch weaker..

Will HSC come off the bus like they did at Roanoke?

Great pick. I think there is a long standing tradition of the POY going to POY candidate who has the best tournament. Which is a little odd.
