I think one could return

IMO, Montgomery has struggled for most of his career because he's too left-handed and he turns the ball over a lot. However, in the last few games, he's going right more and he definitely stepped up today against a good goaltender when the offense was offensive. Face-offs have been really up-and-down. They've recruited a few guys who just haven't stepped up, but why Nads allows a guy to win just 4 of 15 face-offs before making a change is beyond me. Santora has had some good games lately, but he was crushed today.

Ok, while I didn't go to this one (had a baseball draft and I'm having serious back issues), I was sort of able to watch it in the background on LSM, while I was following a never-ending auction draft. It was as dull as you can imagine at 7-6, considering Loyola had seven shot clock violations and we had two. They were outstanding defensively, though the few uncontested shots we had, weren't on target. James Avanzato really struggled with a goal on 10 shots and four turnovers. We had just 13, a pretty low number for us, but struggled on the clears (18 of 24). We also struggled again on face-offs, going 4 of 16 (Shane Santora was 4-of-15). At some point, they needed to make a change to Drew Martin and it happened late in the game when Santora got beaten badly after we just took a 6-5 lead. But with Brody McLean injured, redshirt junior Tim Montgomery really stepped up. He's basically been a role player over the years, playing mainly on EMO, but has stepped up lately. Today, he had three goals and the game-winner in OT. Sophomore Jonathan Bender started in place of McLean on attack and had five shots. I honestly don't remember if I've seen Bander play at all. Credit Shane Brennan (8 saves) and the defense. They were put in a tough position due to some of their own clearing issues, but also on the face-off struggles. To hold Loyola to six goals in an overtime game when the Hounds won the OT face-off, is very impressive. Hopefully, this propels them because they need to start winning CAA games now.

I saw that this morning and I wish him the best of luck. Will not be easy as a smallish guard in that physical conference. But he can defend and run an offense, which I'm sure Izzo loves.

Strange that they would do that but keep the seniors on the roster. No surprise about the brothers.

Later. Has had too many injuries. Returner and third down back

Interview with GCR, Justin Gorham explains why he left. And I speculated it was more about getting away from the area
