agreed on all points

From talking with current players, there are kids that can ball and Nagle refuses to play them.  FO (#11) that smokes starters at practice and some middies and attack (#77 #41 and #48) that can create offense.  With White out for the season, the team does lose some offensive output and leadership, however,  Nagle can add a few more pieces to make this a solid team.  As teams study and learn the SBU offense they see that it is pretty easy to shut down the 1 on 1 dodge.  The Princeton game was a clear example of a defense that understood this and rotated off ball well to shut down skip passes. Nagle has to get over the mindset of playing kids he likes and create a team that can compete consistently.  Hopefully, the next three games will good ones!

I get that this team does not have an elite player like Rooney, Crowley or Rogers who all have 200 career points but there is plenty of talent on this team. Many players who were All Americans, All State, All Long Island, starters on state championship teams that were annual elite programs. I hate comparing specific players and stats over the years, its also when you are comparing the current team to players whose Bio and stats are complete but I will throw out a few.

Haun already has 104 points, 68 goals and is on pace to be in the top 10 in points all time for SB. He has more goals than Hughes and on pace to have more than Schultz.
Compitello has 68 career goals and had 50% of his points in his monster jr.year, Many of the names you said had 1 year where they got 35-40% of their career totals in a big Jr. or Sr. year.  Compitello had 25 assists his red shirt sophomore year and 35 his All American Jr. year.
Pickel and Vanginhoven have 40 and 41 goals on pace to have more than Compitello (68), Hughes(66)
Walsh had the 3rd most assists all time for a freshman (25) to Rogers and Crowley's 26. Crowley had 26 assists 3 times. Schultz never had more than 24. He is on pace to crack the top 5 all time for SB

While I do not see a player on the roster who will make Stony Brook's Mount Rushmore, there is talent


There are so many players who make a team but you can see by just picking two attackmen and two midfielders they compare historically. Defensively I could list so many players. Bollingeer, Rees, Matz,Cassidy, Pugal,  It's tough to see this team like the glory quarterfinal losing team right now but they can start by winning an AE tournament championship. They got a regular season championship last year, they have to keep building.
I would like to see 3 things:
* open up the offense and stop poor quality shots
* play smart and have fun
* Coaches do not need to complain about every call

Our Championship run starts now. I truly believe this team and staff can do it. Go Wolves

Put up or shut up time, team seems to play better on road. Season comes down to this, one ground ball at a time. 14 to 11 SB

Analyze this however you like. Players come and go. Nagel and crew stay the same. Nagel’s best team was 2016, one-&-done in the AE tourney. We’re 3 seasons removed from 2016. Has Nagel shown you anything to believe he’s going to take us back to that level and beyond? I say no and it’s time for a change.

also, with 2 games to go, here's what some key stats look like:

shot % .269 (eh)
SOG % .603 (not great especially considering the past few seasons)
turnovers 15/game (solid, given new rules)
faceoffs .468 (mediocre but consider the improvement)
clearing .876 (ok; new rules considered)
assists 57% (not great considering past years)


haun and rees likely on track for the first team, i hope bollinger too (likely 2nd/3rd at this point).  grippe and pickel might get second, i think pugal should be on there, maybe walsh.  harrell for rookie team. 

if we finish strong, maybe enneguess gets into the mix.  then maybe dugan, pedone, harrison, etc.  these are just early guesses of course.  still some time left.

Bummed about the mob. No love for my 14 to 11 prediction. +3 wolves versus the actual final of 15-12. Haun's questionable crease penalty increased the over.
