  1. Team play looks really good despite many individuals struggling. Lots of bounces today that went both ways for both teams making the score weird. UPL was just meh. Those negatives are what make me feel confident because we’re looking good as a whole and winning despite that. Not like Kruegers streak where they pulled a rabbit out of a hat night after night while the league was busy 85%ing.

  2. Lindy is doing a good job and getting buy in. The focus on blocked shots being something I don’t think we’ve had since he left. I think his change in age has come from being more calm about communication this expectation of the little stuff and that being what gets his approval.  The prior approaches of giving players confidence and hoping it all would just come together missed the centralizing tenet needed to get players to go the extra mile for each other. They were just doing it for themselves before. Lindy simply commands respect and the players seem to be falling in line. Does this style of coaching have a timeline?  Maybe, but who cares, get results 
     

    Still surprised to see Samuelsson play as much as he has with the amount of bone headed plays. 
     

    Cozens is lost, but there’s a glimmer of finding himself. Quinn is totally lost, who knows there. But I’ll take those two losses over the rest of the team stepping up. And this is with our fourth line being injured and rotating. 
     

    Tage and Tuch took a few games, but they’re in full confidence mode now and playing aggressive and that’s the only way they can play well. Whenever they get passive they overthink and fall apart and it’s great to see that disappear.  This is tricky because Lindy loves the Alamo, but I don’t think these players can do that well. We need to adjust. 
     

    Giving Lindy til Thanksgiving until truly drawing any opinions, but I like what I see so far and I think it would’ve been naive to expect it overnight. He was a little defensive when asked about their pre season, but regardless it’s coming together and we aren’t miles out of the standings.

  3. They finally looked in sync and competent until the empty net. Hope this isn’t a fluke and is a trend of the new coaching. 
     

    the veteran line got the most minutes. And they deserved it. Folks need to start calling them the second line. Maybe less paranoia if we think of Cozens as a really expensive 3C

     

    surprised how little the 4th line got
