When was the last time WI started the season 0-2? 2014. Started 0-2, went 13-7 and lost to Smithtown East in County Championship, beating Ward Melville and Smithtown West in playoffs. No need to panic yet. Changes are coming. Not this year !

So, based on early games lets look at how teams have performed relative to expectations: Massapequa - not dominant West Islip - lopsided loss to expected mediocre F'dale team Smithtown E - bad occ loss Locust Valley - rocked by medioce port team GC - rocked by very good suffolk team and loss great MD team but spanked over rated syosset St. A's - surprising loss Sayville- spanked in opener
Manhasset + 0-2 but close games one of which against supposedly the best in nassau Farmingdale + nice occ win Port Washington + spanked lv CSH+ was underdog against manhasset Smithtown W + GC beat down Chaminade + spanked strong MD team OCC Rocky Point+ gave HHHW all tehy could handle
HHHW will be in many games like this. Young team, with a lot of heart. Penalties killed them and that kept Rocky Point in this game. Rocky Point fogo is really good, and HHHW did a great job of containing him. Will be an interesting season. rocky pt team not very good. m.c. out shot r.p. by 30% and won more face offs. rp goalie play kept them from loosing!. It didn't seem like the RP goalies were saving much besides stuffs on the door step. They have a good offense, but the penalties are what kept RC in the game versus HHHW. rp goalies had 20 "stuffs on the door step" and you say it wasn't much? sure wasn't the defense stopping m.c.

In the HHHW game the goalie made 5 saves, and 3 of them were on the door step. The defense started out strong but weakened as the game went on. The game was tight from the begining, and when HHHW would get on a run, they would make a bone head penalty. The new players need to get caught up, HHHW graduated a lot of talent last year. Saves - HHHW: Zakarachis 5, Coffey 3; RP: Kotarski 5;

I think the statement that they beat the goalie in this one is the wrong statement. It was hhhe 22 shots to Northports 10 first and foremost. The shots were a mixture of crease, 10 yards out and most were on the run across and down the alley. The shooters were all dropping there sticks which makes it incredibly difficult to pick up the shot. In addition, it was tied with under a minute and npt had the ball coming off a time out and made the biggest mistake in sports. They could have held for the last shot and never even got one off. Winning goal was a fast break less than 10 yards out. So yes, a win is a win bu it could have easily been a different outcome. That kid gave his team every chance to actually win the game and pull a huge upset and in this one, they let him down. So yeah, team sport, win as a team and lose a second a team, but that goalie did not get beat. Give credit where it is due, not excuses. My son is on the Hills squad and our coach had nothing to do with it. We took 22 high percentage shots an the Northport kid stood on his head to keep them in the game. If not for that, it would have been a blow out. hills east didn't lose the game. they won 7-6 with 10 seconds left. And the reason the game was that tight was because f the Northport goalie who had 15 saves. How does hhhe lose to northport with that team?!?! Also brand new coach at HHHE, so it is going to take some time for them to get comfortable with the new system. Great win, that loss wont hurt then as much. But how do you beat the goalie in your estimates, where did the 7 come from, fast breaks, slow break, outside shots, screened shots (a lost art on kids these days)

You never know which Syosset team is going to show up, the one that came for the CSH match was truly amazing to watch.

Two good games today
LV at Port - gotta take LV Pequa vs Manh - gotta take Pequa Um, WRONG and almost WRONG obviously not your strong suit yep, missed on that one. Imagine if the goalie play wasn't as good as he is. Poor Port def must have been bored, 8 shots on goal! Gotta get 15-20 on cage. LV is really down this year so Ports win isnt that impressive. Here come the excuses for the LV loss..... Don't use the "we are a young team" excuse. 7 of Ports 13 were scored by 2020 players Thanks for the breakout Visor Dad.

[quote=Anonymous]Wow Smithtown East did not look good at all. Total different team than the past super flat. Very young team. Watched it on MSG. SE pathetic. More turn overs than you would see in a German bakery.[/quote More than an insomniac on a bad mattress ?
