Worst use of talent in HS hockey...
Whether it be bad systems, poor use of talent, etc...
Who do you think is under-utilizing their talent or miss-using it... half way through... any thoughts?

I'd even throw EP in the mix, they've been fine but I think they're easily the most talented team in the state.

Re: Worst use of talent in HS hockey...
What is it at Chaska, just too much loosey goosey play with limited focus on defensive responsibility?
Re: Worst use of talent in HS hockey...
Wayzata’s system is fairly successful, but seems to do a good job of convincing players from its youth system to enroll elsewhere.

That’s a good one Stang. Nice feeder system to BSM!

They do have a lot of talent, unfortunately there is only one puck.TheNightman wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 2:02 pm I'd even throw EP in the mix, they've been fine but I think they're easily the most talented team in the state.

Re: Worst use of talent in HS hockey...
Pipes - part of problem in Koster era was he was too regularly a 4th forward up the ice . So the D pairings seemed to have inconsistent breakout passing discipline , and the true forwards seemed to have regular problems with neutral zone spacing and into the O zone . So Hawks didn’t seem to find the best optimization . ImHO
Particularly problematical against the better teams when they shadowed Koster and Pitlick
Witness a change in Andover this year by contrast. Kaiser led the rush too much last year. This year not doing so much of that , leads to better discipline with a new crop of top forwards after heavy graduation loss. Although someone mentioned he reverted to his old ways towards the end of the SCC game .

I may attend Andover vs TG tonight simply to gauge how the Huskies respond to a tough loss. Plus Heffron is a nice senior forward for TG & they have 2 freshman forwards who are pretty good too.
Re: Worst use of talent in HS hockey...
Freshman Moore definitely worth a look .
Heffron could hit 60 points . Rosemount regrets?
