One thing that has concerned me all season, and still to this day are the penalties.

 

What concerns me the most is that too many players are still being caught flat-footed and are hooking, tripping, holding, etc. What also concerns me is that Trotz doesn't know how to fix it. IMO, he needs to start sitting people who are constantly screwing up on the defensive end. You can't keep exposing Volkun to 40 shots a game and praying that your penalty-killing unit gets the job done.

 

This West Coast swing has seen the penalties creep back up, while the penalty kill unit is giving up goas at a 35% clip-that stat will lose you games.

 

Sitting Suter, Hartnall, Witt or whom else who refuses to get in position is the only medicine they'll understand.

 

Unless they get this right, they'll lose home ice advantage for the playoffs as well as be a first round casualty!

Eaton and Markov looked slow thier first game back fron injuries.... So did Scott Walker....

 

We are not very strong, from a physical standpoint, than we need to be.... With all the penalties, Witt can only be out there so long to push people in front of Vokoun.

 

I'm all for, next year, keeping Weber up and also playing Zanon and Klein with the big team.... When we had those big bodies up with the injuries, our defense was actually better.

 

I like Eaton, Markov and Hamius....but you can only have so many dmen that size on your team..... We need some meat....

 

I believe we will be in position to make a good trade or two during the offseason....We have plenty of Dmen, some with value....Don't know who on our team face contract renewels....If Radulov comes to the big team and only produces 1/4 of what he is doing now and we can get that one big physical forward to go with our speed, and Mr TV, we will be a handful next year.

      I like Dyer.He is a great guy.But if he has back to back 2-9 seasons some heads will roll in my opinion.I think at worst they will have at least a 6-4 regular season.Dyer needs to get some better assistants in my opinion.But what do I know.Ask Chiefbigfoot he has all the answers.

      Who is the frontrunner for the championship for 4A in next year?

      By LibertyMule · Posted

      I’m not really saying that I think Tennessee HS football is really all that good. I was just saying I didn’t really think that Corbin was a mediocre football team when Alcoa lost to them. Tennessee high school sports as a whole isn’t very good to be completely honest. They are good players who come from Tennessee in all sports but the overall quality of play and competition is par at best when you compare it to the rest of the country

      Yeah corbin thats the team.  Yeah they are 4a now, but in 2017 they was 3a, and didnt win a title, and was steamrolled in there playoff loss.  They alo got beat by a 1a team that year just looked up there secedule.  Point is a 3a team in tennessee good enough to win a title should not be losing to a 3a team in kentucky that got whipped in there playoffs plus lost to a 1a team.  We always say tennessee football is far superior than kentucky, but our teams have not been doing a good job of showing it.  Ive always felt a 3a champion in tennessee is equivalent to about a 5a team in the weak bluegrass state, but the few games ive followed the last decade we have been getting whipped.  Blackmon to bowling green, alcoa to corbin.   The worst is when Union City played a team about there size named mayfield the same year they won a title, but got beat by like 40 and shutout.  Then that mayfield team doesnt win a title.  Ive seen far to many of our teams win a title, and the same dang year lose to a school from kentucky thats about equal in size that isnt even good enough to win a title in there state.  That mayfield team beat trousdale county one year, and it was trousdale only loss in like a 40 something game stretch, then that team gets whipped in the finals in kentucky. So no team trousdale played in there class can beat them for like 3 years, and they go undefeated against there out of class opponents in tennessee, but lose the one game they play against kentucky to another small school that is around there size.  Do u not think it looks bad when our number 1 team in a class plays a kentucky team thats the 2nd-5th best team in there class of similar size and loses.  Sure doesnt look good to me.  We always down kentuckys football, and say we r superior, but we have looked like a joke in about every game ive cared to follow when i thought its a great matchup.  Alcoa, union city, blackman, trousdale co ive seen it to many times.   I was all over that thread when union city played mayfield, and a coulple of those mayfield fans got on this board, and there was a good back and forth, between us in tn and the mayfield posters.  We was telling them how superior union city would b and how they would run it down there throats all night.  Of course the mayfield fans just said wait and c tennessee football is behind the times, then after union city got destroyed we looked stupid.  Aint noone on here thought alcoa would lose to corbin either and they did.  I dont care if it was in ot, do we do moral victories now?  Hay we can win 10 titles a row in 3a in our state, but the 1 time we play a kentucky 3a team we lose, but lets b happy it was only by a point in overtime to a team that cant win in any class they have been in in 40 years so lets celebrate that our champion cant beat there runner up who was beaten badly in there title game lets be happy about it.

      Team Camp: Rumblings & Opinions

      Northview was very impressive last year. I think their draw cost them last year. They played South Side and Dyersburg and then Heritage. South Gibson, South Side and Dyersburg only two will go from the west. Will be a dogfight for sure. Like I said earlier, if South Gibson don't learn to score they won't make it to state. Will be interesting for sure.

      Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.
