MLax faces Drexel in regular season finale

Recommended Posts

How many big games under Nadelen has his team yakked a 4th quarter lead?  Seems to be too many.  Pretty embarrassing that we can’t even make the conference tournament.

So the question is ... what's up with coaching? As you point out, numerous logic-defying decisions. (Not to mention weak recruiting since the Drenner/Jack Adams class graduated.) What is his contract situation?

Criticism is deserved, though he's not going anywhere. This team just wasn't good enough. Two years ago against Maryland, that was a serious choke job. That was a much better team. The last two seasons, they made a ton of mistakes.

Changes need to be made.

Recruiting has been iffy. Zach Goodrich was one of the greatest players to ever play here. You are not going to get another one. Jacks Adams was also very good at SSM. The kids they have playing there on the rope unit showed some promise, but they struggled most of the season. Even Kobe struggled on D this season. But I think part of that is being on the field forever because you can win a face-off or the offense turns the ball over.

Oh I’m not advocating for a coaching change, especially with the contract extension he signed a year or two ago.  They need one or two guys that can ensure a closing attitude in the 4th quarter.  A lot of this year’s losses could have gone the other way and we’d be singing a much sweeter tune.

Some of that is on Nads and his OC Musci. But teams that are winning these late games against us are playing make-it, take-it, because we can't win a f-ing face-off in crunch time or most of the time. But if you look back at the 2019 team and the 2021 team, the big difference was at the X and on the rope unit (Dmiddies). I think our attack was half-decent but we didn't have a guy as good as Brendan Sunday, who had 49 goals and 25 assists. Our offensive midfield was our weakness back then and still is.
