Men’s Lax: RU vs Maryland Game Thread

[AreYouNUTS]

We’re awful on man-up ...”we read our own press clippings” Brecht re: our start vs Hopkins ...that’s on YOU coach, sorry!!

BOOM!! 2-0 RU!!

 

[Local Shill]

Great start. Not a peep out of the few hundred obnoxious Maryland fans. Keep it up boys.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

3-0 good guys..and I’m getting angry now HAHAHAHA!!

 

[RUTrack94]

I feel like a bad luck charm ... I log in ... RU up 3-0 and under 10 seconds later ... it’s 3-1.

 

[herdof3]

we are competing on faceoffs at least

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Last 2 possessions on O absolutely awful and now they’ve come back to tie because of them.

 

[RUTrack94]

Dam ... 3 goals and a TO since I connected to B1G Network

 

[RUTrack94]

There we go! Up 4-3!!!!

 

[mdk01]

Are we seeing a healthy Harryman for the first time?

 

[herdof3]

5-3 RU and won the faceoff

 

[AreYouNUTS]

awful last possession after getting an offsides turnover with 40 seconds left. Could've went up 6 to 3 at the end of the quarter.

 

[RUTrack94]

5-3 lead after one ... Sign me up!!!
#GoRU

 

[herdof3]

7-3. not used to dominating faceoffs

 

[AreYouNUTS]

We need a solution for Herryman’s departure. Seeing him healthy it’s glaringly obvious how much of a drop off there is after him. Probably cost us 3 games.

 

[Jumba72]

Looking good from Grapevine Tavern

 

[MS-RU]

7-3 now!

 

[Jim_from_RU]

If we can pick off Maryland, it'd not only be huge for our season, but also for our psyche. We haven't beaten them in forever.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

8-3 keep it going boys!!

 

[rondi]

Omg, I am now watching Lax & GOT reruns to catch up for the new season! Oh man..way to go RU!! Dominating performance. Awesome so far.

Go RU!

I'm absolutely shocked that we're dominating faceoffs.

We’ve NEVER beaten them at home. 0-12.

Herriman is healthy again.

Don't write off Ott. He wasn't bad before his injury.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

1 more before half let’s go!

 

[Caliknight]

Long game. Keep grinding!

 

[AreYouNUTS]

AWFUL way to come out of a TO and with the ball. AWFUL. Could’ve gone up 10-5 instead 9-6. What a difference.

 

[MS-RU]

What a swing of momentum with a terrible turnover and giving up a goal with 2 seconds left.

 

[ScarletDave]

Rutgers gives up buzzer beaters in every single sport. It’s a curse of the athletic department. Doesn’t matter what sport. It’s consistent. Saw that one coming the moment Maryland got the ball. Separates good coaches from great ones, focus in critical moments of games. Oh well.

 

[RUTrack94]

9-6!!!!

Had the same feeling .... but hey, have to be happy with a 3 goal lead and RU winning face offs. No more Same Ole Rutgers tonight. Just like PU the streak ends tonight!!!!!

 

[Caliknight]

Damn. Unlucky break at the end. Our d makes the play having sticks in the passing lanes and it deflects right to the guy from Maryland where he makes a play.

As always, groundballs/faceoffs will win the game.

Been saying this about all sports for 2 years now. There are a few things we do, across the board, that are 90% mental and it needs to end.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Need a 2-3 goal run to start the half or momentum is theirs.

 

[Caliknight]

Refs are a joke..

He hit the goalie on the dive. That's a penalty.

How to do that is the question.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

We’re blowing it, as usual.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

What a God-awful start to the half. ONCE AGAIN, coming out at half, this IS a problem!!!

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Call a ****ing TO please

 

[Caliknight]

We get worse reffing at home.

Horrible turnover leads to goal.

Here comes Maryland.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

How to do that is the question.

Hire a team psychiatrist for the athletuc department.
