I've been watching St John's for a while now. I might not have the best memory anymore, but to me that was the worst Yukon team that I can ever remember. I haven't watched any of their other games this year, but everything they were doing seemed sloppy and outside of a few guys, they looked to have very few scoring options. People on other forums were talking about Ollie as BE Coach of the Year. Was it just one game, or does anyone else think they are really bad this year?
What was sloppy though? They took good care of the ball. They missed shots yes. Was that them being off or us playing good D?
At the beginning of the game they just appeared to turn it over a lot (Although they got better as the game went on). They only had 20 points at the half. I recall several passes to spaces where players weren't. It could be that they were sitting their best player, but In my recollection, they execute very well. Sure they miss shots, but they always seem to be a well oiled machine. And we are 20 games into the season.
On offense, last night they appeared to be freelancing. Perhaps Ollie has a different offensive philosophy, but to my uneducated eye, they just looked bad. Even their comeback seemed to be triggered by a few hot hands, combined with some awful rotations and mistakes on StJ's part.
I'm not sure this makes sense, but If they weren't wearing Yukon uniforms, I never would have guessed they were Yukon.
