and again - three guys sliding to one player and UVM cans another wide open look.

The defensive and specialty unit coaching is just awful. And HOF to your point there is just zero accountability which is why I have been saying for years that there need to be some some changes.

That was on Piseno. He left his man and UVM skipped it back over the top for the open shot.

And another one by 88 - completely slid away from his man for no reason and leaves a wide open shooter.

I'm going to be a broken record but another ill advised slide leaves a guy wide open for a shot and goal. Just insanity.

Don't get me started. Ramos is going to have to stand on his head in the 2nd half, and offense is going to have to be even better. Probably our most efficient offensive performance in recent memory.

Happy to see Ramos get action. Should have happened sooner, but you throw him in with little game time in the most important game of the season? Even the announcers are slamming our face-off strategy. Just really random coaching decisions in the biggest game of the season.

Very unselfish offense -defense and face off needs to tighten up . The face off management/strategy is a disaster.

And another bad slide leads to a goal.

So many questions.

uggh on the face off's - I guess we don't have a normal FOGO who can be competitive

There you go. A completely unnecessary slide leaves a man open and Vermont scores at the end of the quarter.

First off I have no idea what they team is being asked to do on defense. I had some insights but not now. My impression has been for years is that Albany is willing to give up the outside shot and not let anything easy in close, especially in the middle. That isn't a horrible philosophy IMO if that plays into your goalie's strengths. But today and for the last couple of years we do a lot of ball watching IMO, and just way too many unnecessary slides when the opposing player isn't a scoring threat. There were two plays today where 48 collapsed in the middle when no help was needed and it was a

UMBC doesn't have explosive attack men. The slides today, and for the last number of years have been hard to understand and we created much of their offense. Kunz was sliding to guys 15-20 yards out, and when we make those slides it causes the the defense to start chasing. I have never understood what is going on back there. Overall just way, way too sloppy.

On to Saturday!
