Third seed is a little outrageous but expect a close game. The NK coach is friends with the CW coach and probably already shared his game strategy with him!

I see boredom. Trying to keep the season interesting and keeping this thread alive.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It's very hard to keep RIHSGS interesting, is it not? You have one team. The rest are fighting for the scraps. You do have the best HS thread around. Finger pointers and dreamers!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Fighting for 3rd seed???? If you win your last 5 games (unlikely) you will finish with 25 points. LaSalle has 27 now, SK has 24 with 5 games left and NK has 22 with 5 games left. That’s not even considering Smithfield or Barrington who are both very much in the hunt for a 2/3 seed. Don’t know if you’ve heard but there is this new thing that the kids are doing these days. It’s called Math. You should try it. It’s fun!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

We will be upsetting some teams come playoff time. Watch and see! We will start with NK today! They are not that good anyway and neither is Barrington or Smithfield. Really don't care about your math. Watch out! You heard it here first!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Building momentum after crushing the Top D3 team..I get it.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Trap game - CW loses to last place team; plays arguably the second and third best teams to a tie and one-goal loss..lays an egg against the teams right in its shot group..not unusual for CW - coach plays a more defensive game looking for the tie or one goal win against a much higher seeded team -- just the type of team NK has tended to lose over the past years.Comment

Hahaha! Your trolling game needs work kiddo.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Here is the truth about this year. Every team has a had a bad game or two, and many have lost or tied games against what would be considered a much weaker team. It has been wildly unpredictable game outcomes. Even though they haven’t lost, even LaSalle has appeared vulnerable in a few games, and could find themselves losing their perfect record in an unpredictable upset too. I think there have been many reasons for the unpredictable nature of the results this season. In addition to the typical HS team’s performance being affected wildly by an injury to a top player or GK, or even the random “stand on their head” GK performance that can keep a weaker team in a game, I think the weather, field conditions, and all the re-schedules have had a major impact on many of the game results this fall. Most non-turf fields are a mess and have really become the great equalizer in some games. Add to that all cancellations that have wreaked havoc on schedules. Some teams have gone 7-10 days without playing, and then forced to play 4 games in 6 days. It messes up a teams rhythm, it screws with their line-ups, and can cause additional injuries. It’s really been a mess.
Now LaSalle is of course always at the advantage in RIIL, between recruiting AND getting to play on turf for all their home games, which added with the away games on turf, means they play 80% on turf without these field issues. Teams like Cumberland, Portsmouth etc who play on turf may have the field advantage, but not the recruiting advantage. LaSalle gets both, and frankly if they do lose or even tie a game, it would be a HUGE upset. I for one, always root for them to lose, because of their obnoxious entitlement while reaping the rewards of a non level playing field (literally and figuratively!), but I am not confident that it will happen this year.Comment

Averaging only 2 plus goals a game and heavy concentration among just a couple of players..vulnerable to a 1-0 loss or a shoot out loss in the playoffs but when you don't give up any goals, I guess you don't have to score many either..Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Do we have our NK v CW results yet? I would expect our see W mom to be posting away if they pulled the upset, no?Comment

NK vs CW - 1-1 tieComment

Don’t read The ProJo version...Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
NK was lethargic in first half. 3 or 4 players out with injury.
Even so, CW got their only opportunity and scored and held their ground.
Second half NK a boost
The ball barely got out of CW end. NK gets one back 15 min in, or so. Then just went in attack mode without a conversion although there were oops
Blah game.
Better game of the day:
Cumberland tie Smithfield 0-0Comment

As I said, trap game.. CW plays that style against the better teams - have to come out ready to play, not lethargic. GK saves indicated CW had more shots - must have had them all in first half?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Big shot differential in Smithfield - Cumby game..tough one to tie;Comment

I don't know if it was so much a trap. Was it over confidence or underestimate of CW by NK.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
There is no way CW outshot NK (according to stats). Who the heck tallied those shots? CW had a total of 5 shots on goal at best with only 1 shot in the second half. I would say NK had 10-12. Either way a tie that should've been a win for NK. There were chances to win it. Have to take advantage of those chances at this time of year.Comment
