[QUOTE="Second place is 1st loser, post: 2023245, member: 749504"] With all due respect, I completely disagree here. After the disaster vs PSU, I'm sure those practices weren't a walk in the park. The message was effort, effort and more effort, especially defensively. He didn't get that ...again. We let up 43 points in the first half with the same issues arising. The time of being the guy who relies on the seniors was LONG gone because the seniors were the main violators. These are grown men, not sofa warriors. They can handle getting chewed out and they deserved each and every word. They came out halftime and were STILL a step behind. The fact that he had to do a full hockey line change is ridiculous given this team makeup. You could see that they entire staff was searching for answers to motivate. You saw BU and Chester were in the....what else can we do, point. I think BU even asked him that. He pushed every button necessary and he had every right to be irate. I have some news for you....if this effort continues and they a 5 seed, the chances of not getting past the first game is real. If he has to break tables, so be it. If he needs to bench people for a full half, so be it. This team needs to wake up. Going on a rant to his team is absolutely not out of line. If this were a roster of Freshmen and Sophomores, I'd be more apt to agree with you. He's dealing with 21 - 24 year old men here. If you don't like him getting irate, take your focus off of him and put 100% of it in his guys. They are in full control of how this season plays out. I said this in another post.... we're four games from win or go home in two separate events. There's no more time to allow this type of play. He needs to use everything in the arsenal if his seniors aren't going to do it on their own. [/QUOTE]
