Michigan and Maryland definitely going in opposite direction from where they were last week
First round games - what a difference a week makes
- Thread starter knight82
- Start date
In the 1st half McNaney and Wiernan were hot, McMeekin and Gianforcano we're not. Add in Zapptello and it's ballgame over. He picked it up in the 3rd, but that 1st half was the worst I've seen Gianforcano play.
In the 1st half the Michigan O stood around and watched Boehm. Went nowhere. The D was too passive

That was probably the worst half of Gianfacaro’s entire career.
If Weirman wins face offs like he did two years ago, that’s changes a lot of things for Maryland

Yes he did and he does seem a bit critical of Hopkins like he expects more from them always.
Love it. Michigans hot 48 hours expired in Denver
PSU continued its poor play
Cream rises to the top
Faces offs have an unbalanced impact on the game. It’s an issue IMO…
Way too much impact on these games and it’s a wild card position to recruit.
Average teams with a great face off performance become good / competitive (see Michigan)
Good teams with a bad face off performance become average (see Loyola)
You are not winning anything big without solid to good FOGO performance

Me too. Good year for Towson. Just had a horrible 2nd half tonight.
All 8 seeded teams advance.
im sure your son appreciates his dad calling his teammate "bad" on the internet
I'm sure you don't know shit about what his son is thinking.
Denver taking out 'Cuse would solve that problem.
It doesn't really bother me, if their teams earn it. But I'm not sure about Virginia beating Hopkins. The Cavaliers have shown some weaknesses in recent weeks that Hopkins could exploit.
Good luck to all teams. Play your best game...
Yeah, but to some pretty good teams, as you know, given that two of them were called Notre Dame :-) ...
UVa is susceptible to giving up a lot of goals. Their goalie had a serviceable game against St. Joe's but he's been spotty at best. When he's off, he's the worst goalie left in the tourney. It can get really bad.
Teams that can spin the ball like Hopkins did against them in their first meeting can take advantage of their questionable sliding. Lots of talent on the offensive side and in the middle but they can give up goals. It's going to be a challenge for Hopkins but if they can win faceoffs again, they have a good chance. Uva's fogo was out that first meeting which definitely had an impact at that position.
