Making the tournament woulda been a bonus after the Hiltz injury considering it’s an extremely thin roster. But this is one of the worst Albany teams in years and they trailed start to finish, coming off a 15 goal loss. Clearly the team isn’t getting better and there have been minimal to no improvements throughout the season.

Wish you just said that in the first place. They are blowing it this year and is it really that surprising when it is the same players who struggled like crazy last year minus some crucial ones like Dearth Rehfuss and Hiltz? Then you add that it's a new staff in year one coaching players they did not recruit and players adjusting to a new system. I did not think it would be quite this bad but it's not a complete shocker. Just wish more people would give the team time rather than pointing and laughing. There have been flashes, and they may surprise with some of these late season results, similar to hop last year.

I mean, it’s one of the biggest programs and brands in the entire sport having a bad season after tons of preseason ink published over new Coach and a new era and attention was paid to them; then when one or two pollsters left them out of their Top 20 the alums were screaming about how bad that would look later in the season.

People making jokes is just the nature of the beast. Get the big plaudits when you’re on top, get the criticism when you’re down low.

New coaching staff + huge question marks at defense and goalie don't create great conditions for success. at least the goalie situation has improved, and the offense is playing well. The albany loss is bad, but all in all, I would say that syracuse is performing as expected right now.
