Re: SLU Hockey 2011-2012
Timeout. Let's not get carried away. Joe is the greatest college hockey coach in the country, and I've seen SLU blow plenty of late leads with him standing on the bench. Anybody remember the Ylae semifinal in Albany just a couple of years ago? Joe would not have cleared the puck, covered any RIT players, or blocked any shots. I don't believe the players would have executed better just because he was there. I'm quite sure their coaches gave them the correct instructions. Nobody knows defensive hockey better than our associate head coach, nobody in the program has played more hockey than he has, and nobody is more level-headed and poised. The coaching staff know what they're doing and they know how to communicate it.
This start sucks. The Saints are running out of ways to lose games and we're only four games into the season. It appears that the defense and goaltending need to get a LOT better, quickly, or the team could be in a very deep hole before they even get started. But as great as Joe is, a collapse like last night's can't be pinned on his absence if you ask me.
