Anonymous wrote:Faceoff stats are going to take a serious nose dive once they start ACC play. Goalie is the biggest outlier. I can't stand Million and haven't been impressed with the kids but the fact remains the offense as a whole is better this year than last. Chemistry shows up on the stat sheet in a lot of ways. The biggest way on offense in my opinion is assisted goals. 74.4% of UVA's goals have been assisted this year. That ranks second in the NCAA.

Increase in assists is a direct result of the second Millon playing + Shelly. Not good chemistry or offense.

Goalkeeping is the problem this year. Faceoff improved.
Except the goalie stats are better this year than they've been in 5 years. I get we are only about 1/2 through the year and better competition is coming. There is more to a team than just stats. Chemistry goes along way to any team's success. Lars letting the older Millon where 9 when another player had it was certainly not a good locker room take.

Lol. It is pretty funny. Selling your soul to the devil when you stink isn't as rewarding as you can imagine.
The Towson game was like watching a senior showcase team vs a cohesive team of underclassmen that has played together for years. The Towson guys, with one moose of an exception at attack, was decidedly smaller, but they played so tightly and scrappily and well together vs UVA and their chaos hero ball crap. Worth a watch as I think it's available on the ACC Network for replay.
Anyone that had a lick of common sense could see the issue a mile away. Think about Hopkins and Maryland didn't even really go after his sons and they are in the "neighborhood" because neither program wanted want to deal with him.
Reminds me of the Bratton twins and their impact on the UVA program back in the early 2010s.
There is no I in team but there sure is in Millon.
