      Re: UMD 2017 Season Thread

      The 'Dogs step up to the plate, as they do virtually every year, to play a quality out of conference team, BC, early in the season after a warm up vs a not so high quality team, PSU, which is somewhat odd but which they will need since this is pretty much a brand new team. It will be interesting to see if they can recreate the excitement that last year's iteration did...that's a tall order though.

            Thanks. It wasn't there when I checked out the site yesterday.

            Sure has been a lot of turnover in the Assistant Coach position for the 'Dogs in the last 10 years, for a variety of reasons. Never seems to be stable beyond two years at most with a brace of assistants.

              Where's the love?

              Another spanking revisited on BC from early last season when the 'Dogs were off everyone's radar might be just what the doctor ordered to convert the UMD naysayers into pompom shakers early this season, again.

              While it may appear to be a tall order I'll reserve opinion until I get a decent sampling of the product.

                              OSU 2 - UMD 0

                              Well, the first time seeing the ‘Dogs this season, having missed the first period and OSU’s first goal, I would sum up as follows…

                              Energy = Decent
                              Enthusiasm = Ditto
                              Speed = Impressive
                              Puck Handling = Abysmal (and they couldn’t control the endless bouncing)
                              Passing = see "Puck Handling"
                              Play Making = see "Puck Handling"
                              Power Play = 5 opportunities and scared no one except maybe Crowell
                              On One Page = No, on 4 to 5 different pages and from different tabloids but all seemingly looking for the sports page

                              Yet they seemed to easily dominate possession and had twice as many SOG as OSU did but many were lobbed from distance looking like feeble attempts to “do something” in the absence of support or creativity, thereby handing Sauve a relatively easy shutout.

                              This is definitely a work in progress. Looked like they really wanted it but just didn’t know how to go about it.

                              So, some positives to build from but they were not a threat to OSU at all tonight.

                              Yet, it seemed if a few pieces would fall into place the impression left would be quite different.

                              And good for long suffering OSU to have a decent start to their season.

                                Nice summary. In particular I liked:

                                When you've read sports for as many years as I have, it is nice to read something that doesn't sound like anything that you've read 100 times before.
