Lax falls to UMBC, now 0-5

Recommended Posts

This team loses the face-off and ground ball battle every game; has terrible stats with extra-man opportunities and shots on goal. Unless Nads has some miracles up his sleeve, we might not win more than two games (and conceivably could go winless). What a difference a year (and key graduations) makes -- we were 5-0 at this time last year and atop the national rankings for the first time ever. Now, well, it's a different story.

No replacement for Woodall. They did not bring in a transfer for whatever reason. The ground ball woes lead mainly to that, but they also are playing without one of the best ground ball guys and best athletes in Jake McLean. He might miss the entire regular season or most of it. Loss of Grey Bodden is big, but I thought defense was solid tonight and goaltending solid. Can't help it when you can't win a face-off.

Also no Sunday on offense and new coordinator. They are a mess and the gameplan is basically to stall and take a shot late because the face-offs are so bad. No Zach Goodrich on D is gigantic. He was a clearing machine, a great defender and could run transition with no McLean, Kobe has to do it all. But it really starts on face-offs. If they had just a guy that could win 50%, they'd win this game and the Mount. It was 5-3 tonight before the wheels fell off in the third quarter.
