Re: Brown Hockey 2016-17: The Importance of Being Ernst
Not a bad weekend. Our first line is breaking out as one of the better lines in the ECAC. But we're not going to score many goals if Middleton is our second line center, as he was on Friday. Whittet made a good adjustment for Saturday's game by bumping the Beaudoin line up in the pecking order and giving them more ice time. Marchin is finally putting up some points. Nieto is still a very raw talent who makes some mistakes, but he could easily develop into a Mike Clemente-caliber goalie.
Brady Schoo was one of the best players on the ice yesterday, and it'd be a massive shame if he doesn't play more going forward. I think our best pairings at the moment are:
Gottlieb-McArdle
Schoo-Giuttari
Wynne-Tegtmeyer
I'd like to see Marchin on the top line to see if he can continue piling up points. Willman worked well with Beaudoin in the few games they played together.I also wish Brink would play more. I think he brings a nice combination of physicality and skill. He and Andrew Doane could be a menace on the same line.
Marchin-Lafferty-Corcoran
Willman-Beaudoin-Lappin
Dodd/Aibel-Pryzbek-Bird
Brink-Middleton-Doane
I think that gives us a good chance to produce offense, utilize our speed, and play physically.
