Geez, we' re really setting high standards for ourself . . .Sucks to lose that way, but better than getting blown out and embarrassed.
You'd rather be blown out by ohio?Geez, we' re really setting high standards for ourself . . .
Uh, no, I would rather beat Ohio. That would be my standard. And all the other mediocre to bad teams we've lost to this season.You'd rather be blown out by ohio?
Losing sucks, and losing close hurts bad. But it's still better than getting blown off the ice, which happened two weeks ago, by a terrible team. Yea, I'll take this over that.
With winning 3 in Detroit the only chance the team has left for a major accomplishment this year, I'm trying to think of the rest of the season as prep for that. With that in mind, I agree with you - there were some improvements this weekend, mostly on offense. The eye test said we did better at times in the offensive zone and generated more zone time and offensive pressure. If you're into the advanced stats, we did take the Corsi both nights. It also looked like we did better at exiting our own zone, but still got pinned in too often. The power play was hit or miss, but looked really good when it hit (Marody's Friday goal and Slaker's on Saturday). The team effort seemed way better than vs MSU, and for all the 3rd period struggles, I thought we out-competed OSU to hang on at the end on Friday night.All I'm trying to do is point out the parts of the game where we have made improvements.
No, they are not good enough, but they are improvements none the less.
If you want to s**t on that, fine.
I'm seeing progress that may lead to some noise in Detroit in March. Better than expecting us to just lay down and do nothing.
Why they went so far backwards is a mystery.
But had we cut the PP goals in half, we would have won. Other than that, we played really well against one of the top teams in the country. (which is really odd to say about ohio)
