Ugly match…so many sloppy shots going down…
yep, very ugly match
Disappointing in a way.
Why was Leoniak taken out?
don’t know. Guessing to give Westerberg a chance
UPDATING: Coach said that Leoniak was missing assignments and not going after balls.
I don’t have a trained enough eye to see all of that!
Hope there’s good communication between coach and Leoniak.We need both of them.
It was an in game decision I am sure there Will be discussion If Lroniak couldnt follow the game plan then They went ho someone who could
