***RU Men's LAX vs Maryland Preview/Game Thread***

[mikefla]

6-8 MD

 

[Caliknight]

Can't beat Maryland, the best team in the country, turning the ball over unnecessarily.

 

[biazza38]

Dammit guys

 

[koleszar]

Not seeing it down 6-9. And they win another faceoff. Hate to say it but it looks like those 14 seniors will never see an NCAA tournament.

 

[Caliknight]

Tough without winning a faceoff.

 

[biazza38]

Are we going to nutt up and ever take care of business or am I just going to have to read about our potential next year again?

 

[koleszar]

Now why didn't Coyne do that last time instead of the circus act now 9-7.

 

[koleszar]

Full time 2 minutes penalty. Get it back boys.

 

[biazza38]

Need a goal now

 

[mdk01]

Major mistake not holding the ball.

 

[koleszar]

Well so much for that golden opportunity. Good job Rose.

 

[biazza38]

Just an awful decision at the end of the third

 

[rufeelinit]

I don't know the game well enough to realize the magnitude of that mistake. Big one

 

[koleszar]

Just an awful decision at the end of the third

2 minute man up and only one ill-advised shot on goal the entire time..

 

[biazza38]

Another awful force by Rose. No angle

 

[biazza38]

Great defense boys. Jesus wtf

 

[koleszar]

Now 10-8. Be nice to win a faceoff and get a little momentum.


O well:cry:

 

[biazza38]

But we lose the faceoff sigh

 

[biazza38]

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!!!!! We finally win a faceoff and he just threw it away

 

[koleszar]

OK let's try this again 11-9. WIN A FACEOFF get some momentum.


YAY:cool2:

 

[biazza38]

So many opportunities to cut it to one.

 

[Caliknight]

That penalty is a killer. Maryland is professional. They will work the whole 60, then sit on if for another 90.

 

[BaseballFan913]

I keep forgetting that you made it look so easy in your days as a D1 Lax player against the #1 team in the country.

My bad, didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to be upset about the game

 

[biazza38]

Never capitalized on any of our momentum today. This one hurts

 

[koleszar]

Well that'll seal it since we can't win a faceoff. Brecht doesn't get that fixed he'll never see the NCAA's

 

[rufeelinit]

What hurts is that this effort might have produced a different outcome last week. The question is whether next year is a rebuild or reload.

Doesn’t matter. We’ll jut lose again when it means the most. I’m sick of this

 

[Local Shill]

Always the bridesmaid. Never the bride. I was young and thin the last time RU made the tourney. Beyond frustrating finish to the season.

 

[RU MAN]

12-9 with 2:22 to go. Let's face it: Maryland is a great squad and they have our number.

I feel really bad for the 14 seniors on this team who many never play in the tournament. I don't like the feeling that we have to leave it up to the committee to invite us. Let's hope they do because of our tough schedule.

 

[Caliknight]

Each year our classes get better and better. The future is bright.

Maryland is just very good. No other way to say it. They are very, very well coached, super athletic, and don't make mistakes. If they aren't hoisting the trophy on Memorial Day, it was an upset.

Maryland is an official juggernaut. Recruiting is off the charts. Coaching. Support. Facilities. Get used to seeing them at the top. Dynasty in the making.

 

[biazza38]

0-5 vs UMD the last three seasons. I’m tired of hearing about how much talent/potential we have. Do me a favor and spare me the next seasons preview. I’m tired of the scarlet colored glasses preview

 

[78CollegeAve]

I hope no one feels sorry for the RU boys staying home again after winning just 60% of their games and finishing with a stretch dive of 2-4.

 

[RU MAN]

So who do we want to win or does it matter? JHU vs. OSU?

 

[biazza38]

JHU for what it’s worth. It won’t matter though

 

[Leonard23]

Too many mistakes to beat MD.

 

[RU MAN]

JHU for what it’s worth. It won’t matter though

But will it help any chance with the committee to get an invite?

 

[koleszar]

So who do we want to win or does it matter? JHU vs. OSU?

For Rutgers at 9-6, sorry to say it but I don't think anything means anything any longer.

 

[biazza38]

OSU needs to lose. If they win they get back into the conversation

 

[RU MAN]

For Rutgers at 9-6, sorry to say it but I don't think anything means anything any longer.

My gut is telling me the same thing. I thought this was our only hope and that was to beat Maryland.
