"Weekend Off"

[quote plrd78]Milo played better..but got short shifted..WHY??? He should be on the POINT... like you said Great outside shot, plus he can make plays... not dump it in the corner or hold it so long it gets blocked, iced whatever...[/quote]

Does Milo really have a heavy shot? I've seen him do wonders with stick handling -- his signature move seems to be sneaking in behind a guy and poking the pukc loose, then wrapping it up and protecting it with his body like a guard dribbling and protecting with his shoulder. I just haven't seen the big Doug Murray I Will Drill A Hole Through You If I Can Hit You shot from anybody yet.

Yes he has a very heavy shot. Schafer mentioned this in the season preview on the Athletics site. He absolutely ripped the goal he scored in the York game. I haven't really paid attention to his stick skills. Milo strikes me as much more of a goal scorer than a puck-handling playmaking type.

When I saw him play in the USHL, the whole powerplay seemed to revolve around the one-timer to him. He can really rip it. Watch him during warmups - it's a lot more on display there than during the game.

Krantz has had some pretty heavy shots from what I can remember. Didn't he win the fastest shot contest at some point a couple years back?

He won last year, and I believe the year before. He also took home the fastest skater award.

Cool. It is an interesting question, then, why he isn't on the point on the power play. What we have aint exactly lighting it up.

According to the ECAC(HL grumble...) site, Cornell ranks 11th in overall special teams in conference. Yikes.

Greening has a big shot too. Unfortunately I think I've only ever seen it in warmups.

Really dont know. Milo has been on and off the powerplay all year. What was weird is that he was on the point of the second powerplay for the whole week leading up to last weekend at practice. Then he was taken off after the first powerplay of the first game for Carefoot. That being said, Carefoot set up a goal once he was there and was far better than he was early in the season on the point.

Pretty tough to take a big shot from a foot in front of the net and from the bench.
