Chasing LaSalla around would be a huge ask - but maybe he could tie him up and make it more of a scrum but again it's a mountainous ask. I think it is fair to say size/strength were always hallmarks of his play but fleetness of foot was probably not the highest grade he receives. He is doing everything he can I am told to try and play. That tells you the injury was/is serious. You'll notice he was under 50% last year and couldn't answer the bell for the start of the season. The expectations that he will ride in on his white horse and dramatically affect a game at this point is likely unrealistic. Narewski tore his patellar tendon - maybe more than once. I think the Jays need to win at the X to have a realistic chance in this one. He's definitely chomping at the bit to get in there. I can see an argument either way on this. I hope he's able to contribute down the stretch because he's been through a lot and has rehabbed his ass off to be able to give it one more go.ĭo they start Narewski for this game, essentially fresh, to maybe get an edge up on FOs, or hold him out until the SU game? Dunn and Callahan are the 1-2 punch and then anything we get out of Narewski this season will be a bonus IMO. As 51 has alluded, we're lucky that he's going to play at all. They need to be careful with him given the nature of his injuries. They're not going to throw him out there against Petey and say sink or swim. This is conjecture but I suspect that whenever Narewski does return, it's going to be slow and steady, ideally as the second or third option before he shows he's ready for a bigger workload. If he has a hat trick and we lose by 3, you just have to tip your hat. Petey may get one or two, but I doubt him scoring is going to be the difference in the game. Perhaps this is misguided but I'm a lot more concerned about Shellenberger, Dickson, and Cormier racking up points than I am LaSalla. The Jays have been pretty good at cutting off opponents' transition opportunities, especially after a faceoff. If Lasalla is unsure who’s coming versus who’s dropping back, he’s not going to have it nearly as easily. If Lasalla knows both the opponent wings are predictably headed south at the whistle, he can comfortably clamp and pitch to either of his own wings. So far, this offense appears to be Virginia's best since their undefeated 2006 team.Ĭhemotti did something as a coach which drives me insane, which is never mixing things up.īy sending both Richmond wings toward the Richmond end at the whistle, cutting off Lasalla sure, of course the other two UVA wings get to have a field day.Ī coach should instead (in effect) call audibles, mixing up which wing drops back and which sprints to the Faceoff scrum. There is a lot of lacrosse left to play and the biggest challenges and best teams lie ahead for Virginia. Shut off Shellenberger and there are 5 other guys who can score a hat trick or more on you. I would also point out that UR tried to prevent Lasalla from going to the goal and the result was wing line mates, Chizmar and Sallade having big days on offense. I would speculate that Hop surprises & plays this a lot tougher than some on here might suspect. Their Shots on Goal per game average is not far off from Hopkins Shot average (30 to 36) so I think that tells you Marcille better get in the way of anywhere from 14-18. Must prevent their dizzying runs and can't let LaSalla score - make them work for everything. Should we move on to talking about Tuesday's game,
