With the Grammar Police already summoned, here's a call for the Thought Police.
Mitch proclaims the return of Coach Schafer's successful coaching style of old and then describes a team 1) that gave up 68 shots in 2 games,
2) that required a goalie to play spectacularly well, 3) whose offense goes into hibernation, 4) that has replaced puck-moving defensemen with ones that are unable to either clear our defensive zone or break the puck out of our defensive zone(that might have been a quadruple negative), 5) that was beaten at our own game by Princeton's ability to clog the neutral zone and stifle rushes and by Quinnipiac's outhitting us, 6) that played 2 lacklustre first periods, and 7) that is employing the same powerplay that has been proven ineffective over the last 3 seasons.
Welcome back, Coach Schafer. With Coach Schafer's successful coaching style of old having fully and thankfully returned to Lynah Rink, Mitch promises lots more dramatic hockey like we watched this past weekend and lots of reason for optimism. with so many players who played tremendously well in our 1 goal/3 point weekend, including several pivotal freshmen (is it freshmAn?), I look forward to even more old-style Coach Schafer-produced dramatics when we get to see prized recruit Mike Garman in net, or salty veteran Troy Davenport, for that matter. Either of them will only have to be perfect to keep the drama and success of Coach Schafer's returned coaching style alive.
Great article.
